Characters: Maxim, Mrs. Danvers
In respect to this, did Mrs Danvers die in Rebecca?
Danvers believed it to be. Rebecca kept secrets from Danvers as well, including her cancer and the fact Maxim knew about her affairs. In the end, having failed to break up the marriage, Mrs. Danvers disappears and soon after, Manderley is set on fire.
Beside above, does Maxim love Mrs de Winter? At that point, we've already built up some sympathy for him. Our early view of Maxim is mostly through the eyes of his second wife, known only as Mrs. de Winter, and she's head over heels in love with him.
Correspondingly, what happened at the end of Rebecca?
In the final act, we learn that Rebecca was terminally ill with cancer when she was killed; this gets Maxim off the hook, but makes us think that Rebecca instigated her own murder. The book closes as a happy Maxim and Mrs. de Winter drive toward Manderley, only to see their beautiful property ablaze in flames.
