Resumen
A comparative analysis between the characters of Sycorax from The Tempest and Bertha Mason from Jane Eyre shows that the female stereotypes during the Renaissance and the Victorian period have numerous aspects in common that reveal the general social attitude towards the women (in these cases racialized) who disobeyed the rules imposed by the patriarchal system. A close textual reading and a deconstruction of the binary oppositions present in these texts unveil the incipient racism and the misogyny that existed within the society during those periods marked by relevant social, political and economic changes.
