So I thought that these last two chapters were full of detail, and I felt there were many good quotes that can be used for the paper. The narrator seems to finally make sense of her relationship with the narrator; she admits: "Maxim was not in love with me, he had never loved me. [...] [Maxim] did not belong to me at all, he belonged to Rebecca. He still thought about Rebecca. [...] Rebecca was still mistress of Manderley. Rebecca was still Mrs. de Winter. I had come blundering like a poor fool on ground that was preserved" (233).
I found this part very interesting because the narrator finally seems to be enlightened and understand where she stands with Maxim. It was as if she always knew this, but never wanted to admit it to herself.
But (just sayin') that point assumes that she's right when she says, "Maxim never loved me."
