Wide Sargasso Sea

[Aschenbach]

Where does Wide Sargasso Sea get its title? I know its inspires by Jane Eyre but I missed the sea reference when I read it.

The first Mrs Eyre came from Jamaica. I presume that she crossed the Sargasso sea to get to England. It is an area of sea known for its seaweed which is profuse and long making huge clumps,which host a multitude of marine life this could also be a metaphor for Mrs Eyre1's ming, at first confused and tangled but actually full of lfe and creativity

hmm, got cut off there. Sargasso seaweed is also a host to a rich and diverse population of marine life and is an isolated area of warm water in an surrounded by cooler, less hospitable sea, poss a metaphor for a stranger from the tropics come to England?

sorry, i meant of course "Mrs Eyre1's mind"

Sargasso sea is in the North Atlantic Ocean.

I had a chuckle reading that thinking you were trying to type in 'Mrs Eyre's minge'.
