Rebecca ... Continued: Chapter 6

This book can get quite addicting. I don't know what about it that makes you want more but I've been hooked!
By now in the book, we have found out who the mysterious Rebecca is: the dead wife of Maxim de Winter. The thing is, then who's the narrator? We have yet to find out. In the novel at this point, we see a romance growing between our heroine and Mr.De Winter... I mean it was bound to happen eventually, but who knew it'd happen so quickly? But can their love be when their class differences separate them. Also, it seems like Mr.De Winter's past haunts him. Whenever Menderley is mentioned, he seems to drift away from reality, but I do not think he has a strong connection to his house or anything... more likely, the past of his wife till this day leaves his heart in anguish. Even our heroine seems to be influenced by this Rebecca; seeing her name in Maxim's book and just by how confidently she write, the narrator is intimidated and somewhat jealous of this strong, influential lady. Hopefully our narrator will not be too influenced by this Rebecca, because there certainly is chemistry between Maxim de Winter and herself.
