Another thought: I was surprised that X cut that page out of the poetry book Max gave her, the page with Rebecca's name. It seemed a bit presumptuous, challenging -- "I'm Mrs. deWinter now!" -- but also hopeful, a confident first step.
I remember from the movie that X wasn't well received at Manderley, and I'm wondering if duMaurier will mention this later, how those first few moments of confidence and hope symbolized by removing that page were so quickly squashed.
