Wide Sargasso Sea

Topic: As a revisionist text, " wide Sargasso sea" chooses to "tell otherwise" about the story of Jane Eyre's Bertha Mason. Rhy's reimagines the familiar characters and recast them. What changes does Rhy's choose to make and why are these changes important? In what ways does " Wide Sargasso Sea break with canon? In an essay, discuss three ways in which Wide Sargasso Sea breaks the master narrative of "Jane Eyre", considering the author's choices and offering specific examples from Wide Sargasso Sea.

Focus almost entirely on Rhy's novel, and include specific examples from one critical text in the book. also you have to add 3 more critical secondary sources Plus  4 annotated bibliographies.
other requirement is a works cited page in MLA format(last page) plus source copies.
I also need to include a first draft and last draft and a deadline.

The three ways I choose and that might be helpful are:
1- Time frame
2- Humanizing Bertha Mason by giving her voice( the madwomen silenced in Jane Eyre speaks, and her voice exposes and turns upside down the values, patriarchal and colonialist, upon which the plot and characters of "Jane Eyre" depend
3- The setting where Wide Sargasso Sea takes place.
