Mrs. Danvers' Dream

The fictional character of Mrs. Danvers in Daphne DuMaurier's novel "Rebecca"and Alfred Hitchcock's film of the same name has always fascinated me. A complex, enigmatic villainess, she is open to endless interpretation, but questions about her motivations ultrimately remain unanswered. Is she pure evil, deeply disturbed, obssessed, sexually frustrated, simply out for vengeance?
