Rebecca: Imagery
I am reading Rebecca and it is not good. I thought it sounded good, but it really isn't barely at all. I think the literary element that is most used in the book is imagery. Some people might think it is motif and I can see where they are getting that, but I think it is imagery more. The author uses imagery to describe in alot of detail the scenery that the main character is looking at or around her (it never said what her name was). The author explains the scenery in such detail, that it's almost like you are the girl and you are where she is. The author explains the way she is looking at something and how it makes her feel and why she feels that way. It also is really easy to imagine, because you have the exact detail. Like when the character is going to Manderly for the first time, the author describes the rhodedendrons on the wall and the way that the drive curved and curved, but then finally was straight. It kind of made you feel the same way as the character, which was awwed by the flowers and how there was so many of them.
