Long Answer
1. Rebecca includes the Gothic tropes of a haunted house, a damsel in distress, a brooding love interest. Manderley, Rebecca, the narrator, and Maxim all fulfill characteristics of Gothic literature. (Various chapters)
2. The narrator loses her naivete and innocence over the course of the novel. When she discovers that Maxim killed Rebecca, she must contend with this fact and rid herself of the notion that she will have an idealistic romance. (Various chapters)
3. Th rhododendrons symbolize Rebecca’s dominance in Manderley. They are bright red, distinctive, and overflowing in the house, much like Rebecca’s presence. (Various chapters)
