Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Susan Hill's Mrs. De Winter: From the Gothic Horror to the Problem of Identity
FENCLOVÁ, Renata
My diploma thesis concentrates on the interpretation of the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier in the context of the Gothic literary tradition (the motifs of secret, crime and persecution). It also concentrates on the literary variations on Rebecca in the novel Mrs de Winter by Susan Hill and it tries to follow the links between the Gothic novel and the psychological portraits of the characters and their mutual relationships. It also considers the role of the main character and the question to what degree this character reflects the influence of the so called Gothic "villain". With this respect it also points out the influence of the so called "tamed" romanticism.
