What is the character of Maxim De Winter in Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier like?
A stern, very private and proper, and also mysterious and secretive in the way he behaves to his new wife in relation to what happened to his deceased wife. He's also kind, and gentle nature with what he thinks he has to hide is a secret. Rebecca is a great movie. I will have to see it again!
Reply:I think he's a nice guy,He's lonely cos he lost his first wife and tries to find a companion.
Reply:He's the standard tortured romantic hero - a la Rochester. Older than the woman, carrying a dreadful secret in his past which gets in the way of his relationship with the heroine, stern but handsome, cultured but remote etc etc etc
Reply:Great book =D


A cultured, intelligent older man, and the owner of Manderley, a prized estate and mansion on the English coast. When the novel begins, he has recently lost his beautiful, accomplished wife, Rebecca, in what the world believes was a tragic drowning.
