Student-Led Discussion 2 led by Scott

What could Lady's new marriage symbolize?
Lexi: Being thrust into something she doesn't completely understand, which leads into a cycle of anxiety and not being able to live up to expectations.

Camden: Agrees with Lexi. She is sort of forced into this situation, and almost does it to herself

Do you think the other characters compare Lady to Rebecca?
Camden: It is obvious hat they treat Lady as some sort of "new Rebecca". 

Teresa: They don't see her as her own person and they don't even want her to live up to the hole she made by dying.

What do you think of the dogs?
Camden: The dogs may represent something

Teresa: Represent a form of consistancy. They are familiar with Rebecca, and they are aware that she is not her and will not be able to live up to her.

Summarize the relationship between Beatrice and Lady.
Teresa: Beatrice and Lady are almost foils of each other. Beatrice is outspoken, while Lady is quiet and meek. However, she opens up around Beatrice, which is rare. Talks to her as an equal rather than someone higher.

Talk about the writing desk scene.
Camden: Very creepy. 

Scott: Shows that she's a bit obsessive about Rebecca, and replacing her

Teresa: Felt guilty for intruding on Rebecca's house. She is the new Rebecca in a sense, but she can't possibly replace her, and she and everyone else knows it. She wants to almost delete the memory of the old Mrs. De Winter.
