quick thoughts on this book: i can absolutely understand why this is a beloved classic, and everything that can be said about it has already been said is much greater detail.
rebecca is a masterclass in excellent character work, building tension, and beautiful writing. we begin as we end, at manderly and with our unnamed main character and her much older husband, maxim de winter. through her memories we learn about the turbulent journey that has led them both to an almost exile, far from their destroyed home.
usually characters like the new mrs. de winter annoy me - spineless and fickle. but it is impossible not to feel for her, not to recognise how utterly alone and young she is. is it any wonder that she clings so desparately to the first person who gives her ever a sliver of validation? maxim was her prince charming, even all the times he most definitely was not.
i loved mrs. danvers, even in all her hatred and cruelty. her love humanizes rebecca, who is made monstrous by almost everyone else. in the end it is through her hands (allegedly) that rebecca thruimphs, and i think that's beautiful.
