The “Romantic” Ending
As specifically shown at the end of Rebecca, the memory of Mrs. Danvers most definitely does continue in Mrs. de Winter’s dreams… but other than that things are pretty good for the film’s lead character and her husband. As described in narration, they continue searching for a new permanent home, but they certainly aren’t living in squalor, and the protagonist seems to be self-assured in all of the decisions that she made. It’s a happy ending… right?
