Abstract	This study examines how women are portrayed in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, a work of Gothic fiction. The study looks at how the novel uses Gothic motifs to represent female characters and analyses how patriarchy and identity affect these characters and their lives. By utilising critical analysis and previously published works, the research illuminates how women are portrayed in Gothic literature and provides new insights into issues related to power relations, societal expectations, and the experiences of women. The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of women's representation in Gothic literature and its broader implications by exploring these themes.
