This film is really not Hitchcock's style, unless only the beginning and Joan Fontaine just entered the Manderley manor part. The hostess turned out not to be hateful, Derwent didn't love her at all, and since he's on our side, we don't have to worry too much about Joan Fontaine's situation. However, the director unexpectedly threw out that the hostess had cancer and she wanted to die in front of Derwent. In this way, the audience realizes that she is the real protagonist of the story, what a tragic woman. At the end of the film, the magnificent Mandeley Manor ignited a raging fire, which marked the departure of the hostess, and our Joan Fontaine, only when the fire was burnt out and scorched, could he truly fall in love.
