Um So the novel depicts a young woman who is
- 02:02 - 02:07
unnamed and mary's a wealthy widower by the name of

Also sex is a theme in this novel as well,
- 02:36 - 02:37
which deals with complicated sexualities.
- 02:39 - 02:41
Um for instance, Rebecca herself as her past gets more
- 02:42 - 02:42
revealed throughout the novel.
- 02:43 - 02:47
It is seen that she can be bisexual, which was
- 02:48 - 02:52
um crucial as well, and I'm tying the plot in
- 02:52 - 02:52
the night.
- 02:56 - 03:03
Um so I chose this quote On page 1 90
- 03:04 - 03:04
of the book.
- 03:06 - 03:11
Um so this is for the unnamed protagonist, the new
- 03:11 - 03:12
wife Mr Winters.
- 03:14 - 03:15
I did not want to see her again.
- 03:16 - 03:17
I did not want to see any of them again.
- 03:17 - 03:20
They only came to call at Mandali because they were
- 03:20 - 03:21
curious and crying.
- 03:22 - 03:26
They like to criticize my looks, my manners, my figure.
- 03:27 - 03:29
They like to watch how maxim and I behave to
- 03:29 - 03:32
each other, whether we've seen fond of one another so
- 03:33 - 03:35
that they could go backwards afterwards and discuss the same,
- 03:37 - 03:38
very different from the old days.
- 03:39 - 03:42
They came because they wanted to compare me to Rebecca.
- 03:43 - 03:45
I will not return these calls anymore.
- 03:46 - 03:49
I decided I should tell maxim soap, I did not
- 03:50 - 03:51
mind if they thought me rude and ungracious.
- 03:53 - 03:55
It would give them more to criticize more discussed.
- 03:56 - 03:59
They could say I was ill bred, I'm not surprised
- 04:00 - 04:02
they should say after all, who is she?
- 04:03 - 04:05
And then the laugh and the struggle his shoulder, my
- 04:06 - 04:08
dear don't you know, he picked her up from Monte
- 04:08 - 04:10
Carlo or somewhere she had an opinion.
- 04:11 - 04:13
She was companion to some old woman.
- 04:14 - 04:17
More laughter, more lifting of the eyebrows nonsense.
- 04:17 - 04:20
Not really how extraordinary men are.
- 04:21 - 04:27
Maximum of all people who was I so fast fascinations.
- 04:29 - 04:31
How could he after Rebecca?
- 04:32 - 04:33
I did not mind.
- 04:33 - 04:34
I did not care.
- 04:34 - 04:37
They could say what they liked as I as the
- 04:37 - 04:39
car turned into at the lodge gates.
- 04:39 - 04:41
I lean forward in my seat to smile at the
- 04:41 - 04:42
woman who lived there.
- 04:42 - 04:44
She was bending down picking flowers in the front garden.
- 04:45 - 04:46
She straightened up.
- 04:46 - 04:48
So she heard as she heard the car, but she
- 04:48 - 04:49
did not see me smile.
- 04:50 - 04:51
I waved and start stared at her blankly.
- 04:53 - 04:54
I don't think she knew who I was.
- 04:54 - 04:55
I'll leave back in my city, kid.
- 04:56 - 04:57
The car went down the drive.
- 05:01 - 05:05
That is a very good paragraph in which describes the
- 05:05 - 05:07
relationship that she has with the other characters in the
- 05:07 - 05:12
novel. Um in conclusion, I love this novel because it
- 05:12 - 05:14
