Rebecca: Unreliable Narrator 1 key example

Chapter 17
Explanation and Analysis—Blank Canvas:

The narrator's own artistry is a motif in the novel and contributes to the sense that she might be an unreliable narrator at times. For example, after she changes out of the infamous white dress in Chapter 17, she describes the rest of her evening as though it is a painting:

When I look back at my first party at Manderley, my first and my last, I can remember little isolated things standing alone out of the vast blank canvas of the evening.
