Cie Rebecca Chapter 1

The passage introduces the unnamed narrator of Daphne du Maurier's novel Rebecca as she arrives at Manderley for the first time with her new husband Maxim de Winter. The narrator is overwhelmed with nerves and anxiety at the grandeur and history of Manderley, feeling like an outsider and intimidated by the lingering presence of Maxim's late first wife Rebecca, whose memory still haunts the estate's halls. Du Maurier uses the narrator's physical reactions of a pounding heart and welling tears to convey the ominous atmosphere and foreboding the young bride feels about her new home and role as mistress of Manderley.
