What is the conflict between Mrs. Danvers and the narrator in Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier?

why do you believe Mrs. Danvers dislikes the new Mrs. Dewinter?

What is the conflict between Mrs. Danvers and the narrator in Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier?
I think the plot is very old and gets stagnated over a peiod of time.After a certain point you just don't feel llike reading.I thought she disliked her because she was so uncouth and lacked basic etiquette.
Reply:because Mrs. Danvers was fiercely devoted to Rebecca. The narrator is taking her place at Manderley, and even though Mrs. Danvers knows all about the marriage between Rebecca and Max, Manderley was her domain and her ghost haunts it's walls. Mrs. Danvers doesn't want Rebecca forgotten, and in some demented sort of way, I believe some part of her still acts as if she were still alive.
Reply:There is evidence Mrs D and Rebecca had a lesbian relationship.
