I felt carried away with this book. The feminist and individual that I am today wanted to get Maxim a stern talking to. Who proposes to a person at the dinner table in a casual manner? Who can’t get rid of their OWN tea bag? I assumed Maxim was able-bodied.... I could not comprehend how a grown able-bodied man needed help with disposing of a tea bag.

I felt that Mrs. De Winter and Maxim relationship was strange. He treated her like a disregarded toy and spoke to her in an arrogant manner. However, she seemed smart, knowledgeable, and naive. I WAS CONSTANTLY CURIOUS ABOUT Mrs. Danvers and Mrs. De Winter relationship. Mrs. Danvers seemed rude, angry, and in mourning of Maxim’s first wife.

Mrs. De Winter suffered at the hands of being second best to Rebecca.

When Mrs. De Winter met Maxim’s grandmother and she demanded to see Rebecca, I was cringing. How awful? I would have been outraged. Mrs. De Winter's character is most intriguing. Her compliance and bending to every need of Maxim is enraging. Although I am appalled by her behaviors, I am intrigued of how her character will build and how she will react to constantly being reminded by the ghost of Rebecca. I would have definitely asked for a divorce day one and said: “I ain’t got time for this ish.”

Mrs. Danvers is the definition of a word that I can not say here on Goodreads. What I will say, the way she tried to coerce Mrs. De Winter to commute suicide was the worst part of this book.

… I am just shocked! Mrs. De Winter did not care about the crime that Mr. De Winter admitted to her, all she cared about was that he did not love Rebecca. Mrs. De Winter reviled in Mr. De Winter hatred for Rebecca. I do not understand, maybe they both are mad.

I wish the book explored the relationship between Mrs. De Winter and Mrs. Danvers unhealthy obsession with Rebecca. The end of this killed me… I wonder who did it?
