Jenna answers “Does anyone else have a negative...”

Ellen Killian asked this question about Rebecca:

Does anyone else have a negative impression of Maxim? I would like to discuss the idea that Maxim is as much of a psychopath as is Rebecca and that we only have his version of events and characters. Rebecca cannot defend herself

Jenna Yes, Maxim was the worst. He was deliberate in seeking out a mate. Young, naive, agreeable, codependent, tendency to internalize and blame themselves …moreYes, Maxim was the worst. He was deliberate in seeking out a mate. Young, naive, agreeable, codependent, tendency to internalize and blame themselves for his own emotional disregulation. He was more of a villain than Mrs. Danvers was, in my opinion. People who are critical of the protagonist by calling her stupid or simple have to remember how people like Maxim operate. In my opinion he was nothing less than a predator.(less)
