I remember Rebecca back in the 1940s as a
romantic thriller film. The story revolved around a woman who was married to an older man -- a gloomy character at that -- a la "Jane Eyre" - experiencing the pain, fear, and guilt eating her up when she learns her husband's ex-wife is also named Rebecca. So what exactly seems to be character Rebecca's role in the Christian Bible and elsewhere? I knew someone named Becky who likes ballroom dancing. I don't see any resemblance of her in any of those Rebeccas that I've mentioned, and certainly she doesn't live a gloomy existence. You know there's always a shattering of the myth.
