You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter, live in her house, walk in her steps, take the things that were hers! But she's too strong for you. You can't fight her, no one ever got the better of her. Never, never.

Rebecca (1940) dir. Alfred Hitchcock.

Hey HOT TAKE TIME for Rebecca: Rebecca clearly abused Maxim in their relationship. Gaslighting, cheating, manipulation, etc. that’s all literally abuse. She literally emotionally abused him for their entire marriage.

That doesn’t justify him killing her, but it Does provide a hell of a lot more context and sympathy than people usually give him in that situation. Are there layers of “women’s sexuality is harmful and bad” misogyny in the whole plot line itself? Yes, but that doesn’t mean Maxim killed her out of anything but the desperation of a tired, traumatized, and Abused man. There are a lot of heavy themes of toxic masculinity and its extremely mentally damaging affects on Maxim in the novel AND the musical.

I think people trying to find a clear “this person is evil and bad and wrong and is clearly the villain” in Rebecca by Daphe Du Maurier are not doing that novel any justice by trying to simplify its incredibly complex and dark themes.
