June week 4

I've just finished reading a book called Rebecca assigned to me to read by my teacher (that's probably the best way to force me to read!) and I can't say that I regretted it. I'm amazed myself to be able to complete the book in just a few days! What a record! ;-) The tone of the story is quite dark and a little scary  just as how every mystery books leave me but for the sake of overcoming this fear I went on till the end. Mystery books never appealed to me, mainly because it induces unnecessary anxiety and jitters that overall brings my mood down. Though this book is not that perfect for someone who likes being worry free, but I quite like it. So, though the title suggests that Rebecca would be the main character, ironically she's not even alive in the story but it's true-the whole story revolves around her. The person who tells the story had just married to Mr De Winter who she already knew was having a hard time letting go the thoughts of his late wife, Rebecca, who died tragically. However, following him back to Manderley was nothing like a fairy tale she wished for as with all the pleasures and riches, everything else in Manderley reminded her of the former lady of the house. Thoughts that she wasn't ever going to replace Rebecca no thanks to Mrs Danvers who blatantly showed her disapproval towards the new Mrs de Winter bombarded her mind. Along the way, many clues and questions about Rebecca and everybody else in the story were popped up underlining the theme of mystery. Was it an accident or suicide that caused Rebecca's death? Or could it have been a murder!? If so, who did it and why? .... Hehe I sound so cool..Don't mind me! As it turns out, Mr de Winter murdered Rebecca himself! From the start it has been conjured as though he deeply loved his late wife and was in a lost after her death but the truth is he had hated her so much to the point of murdering her. What a turnout! Totally unexpected and a very interesting twist. I can't think of any reason other than that the present Mrs de Winter was obsessed in her love that she would rather be sucked in to share the guilt of her husband, a murderer when she could use that as the perfect reason to escape her unhappy life forever.That's something I found quite amusing....
