Rebecca::Imagery

I'm reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Marier. The dominating element that is used throughout the book is imagery, at least in my opinion. I think if the main character, whose name is never revealed, didn't explain the setting with lots of detail, you wouldn't know what was going on, or where the story took place. The detailed descriptions of Manderley, the house, the rooms, and etc., really help the reader imagine what the setting looks like, because it creates a vivid picture in your head. Without imagery in Rebecca, the book would have no added depth to it and make you feel like you're part of the story.
