SYNTACTIC-STYLISTIC MEANS IN JEAN RHYS’S PROSE
Keywords:
syntactic-stylistic means, prose style, short sentences, sentence fragments, parataxis, repetition, ellipsis, modernist literature, narrative voice, female consciousness, psychological fragmentationAbstract
This article explores the syntactic-stylistic means employed in the prose of Jean Rhys, focusing on how her distinctive use of syntax shapes narrative voice and deepens the psychological portrayal of her characters. By analyzing key syntactic features such as short sentences, sentence fragments, parataxis, repetition, and ellipsis, the study demonstrates how Rhys’s manipulation of sentence structure reflects the emotional vulnerability, fragmentation, and alienation central to her themes. The article highlights the role of syntax in creating intimacy and immediacy in Rhys’s narrative style, contributing to her legacy as a modernist writer who innovatively represents female consciousness and trauma.
