WOW I completely understand why this book is often taught in high school. What creates a ghost? Who gives it power? Why would women be anything like this? Can houses be characters? It's incredibly slow in the beginning but once at Manderley it gets more interesting if not completely aggravating. The ending is stupid as hell - give us something!! - but otherwise I was wondering what was coming around the bend constantly and also wondering if I was insane myself.
Do want to note they need a 2025 version without all of the casual racism from back then that added literally nothing to the plot.
