So, you know the episode "Hooked on Monkey Fonics" of South Park Season 3? I was just wondering if anyone could figure out the chords to the song Kyle sings to Rebecca out side of her house. Any ideas?
Post a link, and I'll help you out.
or...screw you guys, I'm going home. (Just kiddin')
Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940) Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again...
Why do you think? I'm writing a paper on it, and one of my reasons is because the story isnt exactly about the narrorator and that its more about Rebecca. Please tell me what you think.
I think you're on the right track with your idea. I wondered why she remained nameless as well, and I came up with the same conclusion as you; the tale is really more about Rebecca than it is about the second Mrs. de Winter. After all, Rebecca is still very much 'alive' at Manderley---her spirit is everywhere; her servants are still faithful; she still runs the mansion; her clothes are still laid out every night; her rooms were kept preserved.
I'd say go along with your idea, because it seems to be very correct. :]
*edit: I just thought of this: the namelessness of the second Mrs. de Winter could be symbolic because Mrs. de Winter feels like she could never replace Rebecca. It could be symbolic of her feeling worthless, like Rebecca would go down in history, but everyone would forget the second Mrs. de Winter's name. Maybe it's ironic, intended to make Mrs. de Winter feel like a ghost at Manderley, rather than Rebecca, who is the acutal "ghost." I believe Maxim only ever said Mrs. de Winter's first name once, when he first met her at the beginning of the book, too. Anyway, I hope this helps a little bit.
I think I have the original publication of the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
How much would it cost?
A first edition (1938) was sold on ebay for $5500.
Another first is listed on alibris for $909.27.
The prices vary depending on condition, publication date (1st printing, second printing, etc.) and whether the book is an American first or a British first. Since Du Maurier was British, editions from her home country are worth more ("Follow the Flag").
If you're not sure what you have, you can always take the book to an appraiser like Southeby's or a used bookstore that your trust.
I hope this helps.
I just read the first two chapters of the book Rebecca and I honestly didn't understand the what it's about.
They're about the bloomng relationship between the narator and Max de Winter.
Since last night, the 11th of Nov. and also tonight, Rebecca Napier has a 'fill in' actress, why? where has Rebecca gone to?
Rebecca is the same. I think you mean Libby. Libby is being played by another actress for one month, but then the orignal one is coming back. She was sick, so from the 10th of November to the 8th of December the girl from McLeods Daughters will be replacing her.
