5feet.of.fury He certainly didn‘t do himself any favors. They served him a plausible excuse for the initial identification & he brushed it off immediately. Everyone just having an awkward lunch waiting for the other shoe to drop 7mo

IndoorDame I‘ve been dying for her to snap out of it and act like this with Mrs. D. but did it really take a murder to get her there?! Jan‘s perspective is all out of whack! 7mo
ElizaMarie "I'm afraid it does not concern me very much what Mrs. de Winter used to do," I said. "I am Mrs. de Winter now, you know.” —— ?? 7mo
Clare-Dragonfly So this is what it takes to get Jan to grow a backbone! I know it‘s not really the murder, it‘s the belief that Maxim didn‘t love Rebecca. Her priorities are all out of whack. I wonder what exactly Frank knows, and why he is protecting Maxim. 7mo
Bookwormjillk Life according to the Colonel: Murder ok poetry bad. This is why rich people get away with crimes. 7mo
ElizaMarie @Clare-Dragonfly , I feel like Frank knows pretty much everything. I mean, maybe not the threat of the heir, but Max did it. The secret is safe with Frank, who knows Rebecca's type, her evil, manipulative ways. If he could look the other way as long as he did (unless he just figured it out), he has no plans of coming clean. 7mo
5feet.of.fury Also Maxim‘s obsession with Jan looking young and naive is so icky 7mo
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Especially since Rebecca seems to have had a fling with him as well. Maybe he's in love with Rebecca. That would make things even more interesting. 🧐 7mo
willaful @5feet.of.fury Yes. He's never going to allow her to truly mature. 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @willaful @5feet.of.fury - I definitely think it's a strong reaction to how horrible his life was with Rebecca who was “worldly,“ a serial cheater, into drugs, etc. His response seems to have been to find someone as “innocent“ as possible and his fear is that as she learns more of the world she'll become another Rebecca. I think his hellish time with Rebecca has left him unable to see that genuine maturity between two reasonable people leads to ⬇ 7mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) a working partnership that benefits both people. His experience with women seems to be on a “knows nothing“ to “loves to do drugs, sleep around, and rub it in her husband's face“ scale, so while the whole “she needs to stay innocent“ thing does come off kind of creepy, I think he believes he's protecting both himself and the narrator, rather than holding her back. 7mo
5feet.of.fury @TheAromaofBooks I can see what you are saying, makes sense. although we are just taking Max‘s word that Rebecca was all these horrible things… I‘m not sure what to believe from him. If he‘s just told this story now that the murder is out. 7mo
Roary47 @5feet.of.fury Right?! I like your thoughts @TheAromaofBooks in him choosing her innocence because it is the opposite of Rebecca. I want to think the best of Max, but he has baggage. He should not have jumped into his relationship with Jan, but here we are. 7mo
willaful @5feet.of.fury There are some other indications, like her apparent treatment of Ben, and her moves on Frank -- but there too, there's no real evidence is there? 7mo
5feet.of.fury @willaful that‘s true, Frank does strike me as reliable, no hidden agenda towards Jan 7mo
willaful @5feet.of.fury I trust him, but if someone wanted to write an “other side of the story“ for Rebecca, they'd have some plausible deniability. 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @5feet.of.fury - Oooo great point! I guess I am just taking Maxim at face value because the narrator is. But she hasn't actually proven to be a particularly reliable judge of character so far. 7mo
