Last night, I dreamed I was back at Manderley Manor. In a trance, I stood in front of the big iron gate leading to the driveway, and for a while I was blocked from entering. There was a big lock on the gate and a chain attached to it. I called out to the gatekeeper in my dream, but no one answered. So I came close to the body, through the rusty iron bars on the door towards the inside, and then realized that Manderley is a silent and empty house.

2. Critical Appreciation of Butterfly DreamsButterfly Dreams was a hit.
The understanding of the character of Rebecca, and the interpretation of this novel, is equally varied. The first and most common interpretation; the novel was influenced by the Gothic novels that were popular in England in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Gothic elements such as a young girl full of fantasies, an eerie mansion, haunted servants, a brooding and handsome hero, and an unknown past are all present. On this basis, a widely held interpretation is that Butterfly Dreams is actually a rewrite of Jane Eyre.
Another has suggested that it is a parody of Shakespeare's play Othello, with Derwent shooting Rebecca as a perfect counterpoint to Othello's jealousy-induced accidental killing of Desdemona. Then, although du Maurier himself has always been careful to keep a distance from politics, but some people still think that this book alludes to the situation on the eve of World War II - Manderley Manor is no longer in its prime, compared to the decline of the British Empire, Rebecca's infertility, but also suggests that there is no one else to succeed the empire's embarrassing situation.
According to the preface of the 1994 Chinese translation of Butterfly Dreams, the novel is about the extreme luxury and extravagance of high society. The ending of the story is also quite ingenious.
Manderley was destroyed by fire, but the author did not explain the cause of the fire clearly, nor did he write about Maxim and "my" life, but only said a profound words: "The ashes of the fire drifted toward us with the salty sea breeze. " The witness is left to his own contemplation.
Because the author Daphne du Maurier was influenced by nineteenth-century Gothic novels and the Bront? sisters' literary works, Butterfly Dreams is filled with Gothic mystery, eerie horror and suspense, but also full of tender and lingering elements of Romanticism, which makes Butterfly Dreams in the plot twists and turns at the same time, the characters are also portrayed in a very delicate way, in the mysterious atmosphere is wrapped in a light fatalistic sadness. The characters are portrayed in a very delicate way, with a faint fatalistic sadness in the mysterious atmosphere. For example, in the opening of Butterfly Dreams, the author writes, "Manderley is a tomb, and our fears and sufferings are buried deep in its ruins, which can never again be revived in death."
Daphne du Maurier defines Manderley as a tomb at the beginning of the work, giving the manor the aura of death, and "I" face the manor in ruins and fall into memories, the whole process of darkness, pain, and from the beginning of the death of Rebecca is like a ghost that wanders on the manor, affecting the The story is about a manor house, and Rebecca, who has been dead since the beginning, is like a lingering ghost on the manor house, always influencing "my" life, and even the whole life afterward.
In the creation of a novel, the first thing that comes up is who is going to tell the story. Generally speaking, packet narrators can be categorized into three kinds: first-person narrators, omniscient narrators, and character narrators.
An important feature of Butterfly Dreams is the design of the narrator. Daphne chooses the "I" rather than the main character in the novel to narrate the story, and the "I" exists only to contrast Rebecca. According to Genet's theory of narrative, the narrator can be inside the story and at the same time independent of it.
In Butterfly Dreams, "I" plays a dual role, as the narrator of the novel and as one of its major characters. "I actually tell the story of two people in the novel: the story of how I met and fell in love with Maxim and came to Manderley with him after marriage, and the story of Rebecca, which is contained in the story of "I". The story of Rebecca, which is contained in the story of "I".
From the point of view of the package, "my" story seems to be the main line, running through the whole novel from beginning to end, and Rebecca's story is only a part of "my" story; but from the point of view of the story's content and center of gravity, Rebecca's story is the main line of the novel. However, in terms of the content and center of gravity of the story, Rebecca's story is the main line of the novel. If we compare them with "red flowers and green leaves", then Rebecca's story is undoubtedly the red flower, and my story is only the green leaves that support it. Therefore, the main line of the novel is only as a background and a stage, and it is actually Rebecca's "play" that is being acted out.
The arrangement and artistic effect of this narrative technique is quite ingenious. Narrative perspective is the angle from which the narrator tells the story, and it is the key to the narrative strategy of a literary work.
Choosing the right narrative perspective requires great skill, and at the same time, the narrative perspective also affects the overall structural arrangement and artistic effect of the novel. The choice of narrative perspective in Butterfly Dreams undoubtedly reflects Daphne's creative persuasion, which is one of the important factors for the popularity of the work.
In Butterfly Dreams, "I" has a double perspective, one is the perspective of "I" as the narrator recalling the past from the perspective of the present, i.e., the narration perspective; the other is the perspective of "I" who is being recalled, i.e., "I" who is experiencing the events in the past. The other is the perspective of the recollected "I" when I was experiencing the events in the past, i.e., the perspective of experience. The overall structure of the whole text is that the narrative perspective and the experiential perspective of "I" are used interchangeably.
In narrating the past experience, I also comment on the past from the perspective of present omniscience. The experiential point of view consists of a single point of view, in which I observe Rebecca directly, and multiple points of view, in which the other characters are seen.
Rebecca dies at the beginning of the novel, and I have never seen her, so how do I observe her? Here Daphne expresses Rebecca through the natural scenery in Manderley on the one hand, and through the multiple perspectives of the other characters on the other hand, which makes "I" connect all kinds of images with Rebecca, thus presenting a complete Rebecca. Mrs. Danvers is the key perspective character in the story, she is the embodiment of the dead Rebecca in Manderley.
Through her point of view, "I" saw a smart, brave, and beautiful Rebecca. She was tall and thin, her face was pale, her hands were cold, and she always wore black clothes, noble and peaceful, which was clearly the appearance of a dead person, but had the physical shape and temperament of Rebecca.
"I" did not see the life of Rebecca, but "I" from Mrs. Danvers to see after the death of Rebecca's appearance. The book uses flashbacks to slowly unfold the storyline.
The first chapter of the beginning of the first chapter told "I" a dream, told us "Manderley is no longer for us, Manderley has ceased to exist," so we have to find out why the former prosperous bright Manderley Manor no longer exists, and thus a scene of suspense. exist, thus a scene of suspense is thus laid out.
At the beginning of the novel, the author explains the fact that Rebecca has died, and has never described her positively in the text, but what she did in her short life is like a ghost haunting the place where she used to live, and bringing a profound impact on the people around her. This kind of superb influence had.
