The document summarizes divisions between women in Jean Rhys' novel Wide Sargasso Sea. It discusses how differences in economics, age, and nationality cause misunderstandings and divisions, as the women are envious of each other's wealth, wary of premature aging, and unforgiving of those not belonging to their ethnic groups. Rather than seeing their similarities, the women allow these differences to destroy bridges between them and stir up prejudice and animosity in the sea that engulfs them.
