- Mrs._Danvers abstract "Mrs. Danvers (whose first name is never given) is the main antagonist of Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel Rebecca. She is the sinister housekeeper of Manderley, a stately manor belonging to wealthy Maximillian "Maxim" de Winter, where he once lived with his vindictive, selfish and openly unfaithful wife Rebecca. Danvers, nicknamed "Danny" by Rebecca, was Rebecca's nursemaid as a child and she is obsessed with her dead mistress, referring to her as "My Mrs. de Winter." Rebecca died in a boating accident the previous year, and Mr. de Winter, who has been traveling, has brought home a new bride. Mrs. Danvers remains rigidly faithful to Rebecca's memory, insisting the house be kept just as it was when Rebecca lived there. She continually browbeats the new Mrs. De Winter whenever the young woman attempts to make any sort of change to the house.Danvers resents the new Mrs. de Winter, convinced she is trying to "take Rebecca's place" despite the two women never meeting and being nothing alike. Whilst she also resents Maxim for remarrying, she tries to break up the marriage. Late in the story she suggests that Mrs. de Winter wear a particular dress to a costume ball. She knows Rebecca wore it to the costume ball the year before but does not tell the new wife. It angers Mr. de Winter, and when the new wife confronts Mrs. Danvers about her deception (she finds her in Rebecca’s room), Mrs. Danvers attempts to manipulate her into jumping out of the second floor window. The spell is broken when a flare is sent up signaling that a ship has run aground.Ironically, Mrs. Danvers; devotion to Rebecca was not mutual, as Danvers was another victim of Rebecca's endless lies and schemes. In the end, having failed to break up the marriage, Mrs. Danvers sets fire to Manderley. In the book's final scene, Maxim and Mrs. de Winter are driving back from London and see their beloved home in flames. In the novel, Mrs. Danvers' fate is unknown.".
