Comparing Jane Eyre and Rebecca

What similarities did you notice between Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier? Both English novels contain Gothic motifs within a coming-of-age story, and they share a number of other elements:

0:00 Jane Eyre (1847) vs. Rebecca (1938)
1:23 The Narrator (Jane Eyre vs. the second Mrs. de Winter)
2:24 The Hero (Edward Rochester vs. Maxim de Winter)
2:53 The First Wife (Bertha vs. Rebecca)
3:35 The House (Thornfield Hall vs. Manderley)

As Joan Fontaine has portrayed both protagonists in two major film adaptations, we use scenes from the films to explore the connection between the two stories.
