Conclusion on Daphne’s du Maurier «Rebecca»

I have been giving my own opinions through the whole analysis, but here I’d like to synthesize some of the main ideas that I have been developing. Firstly, and as if it’s not obvious enough, I do think that the narrator (Mrs. de Winter), is unreliable. The book starts with she describing a dream that she recently had. The description has a very obscure atmosphere, and there I felt there was going to happen something wrong, something strange. I started to suspect that Rebecca wasn’t going to be the typical romance novel that I know. As I kept reading, and I started to know the characters, I begun to doubt what the narrator was telling me. It’s not because of the descriptions she made of the different characters, but how she judged them. It was something that, at first, I didn’t minded, but when her opinions evoked hate, rejection and nonsense, it started to bother me.

All the fragments of  different people opinions that I have analyzed, prove that readers do get this feeling. I suppose it isn’t something incredibly obvious, but when reading closely, the subjectivity of the narrator overlaps the main story, and definitely makes it, for the reader (maybe not the average reader), to realize what is really happening in there.
