In the analyzable part of the novel the atmosphere of suspense and some irony elements were described with a help of anticlimax is an abrupt declension (either deliberate or unintended) on the part of a writer from the dignity of idea which he appeared to be aiming at. Anticlimax deforms the narration in the highest point by the final notion as something opposite to what was expected. In REBECCA at that moment, when the dreams absorbed the narrator, with the help of this device the idyll of romanticism was destroyed by absolutely not romantic utterance about sour fruit.
Stylistic lexicology. In the given fragment of REBECCA we can find two examples of using phraseological units: You would feel then you were getting your money's worth (it means to get something worth the price that you paid); My mind ran riot then… (if your imagination, emotions, thoughts etc run riot, you cannot or do not control them). The stylistic function of phraseological units is not nominating of any new phenomena, they give a concrete definition and figuratively emotional evaluation of the subjects, phenomena, actions.
