Very nice insights, Elle. I was just wondering the likelihood of someone like Scarlett's character truly existing during the Civil War. Her extremely demanding personality gave me no choice but to stereotype all white women in the south during that time; but, I still feel that nobody that hysterical could really be based off a real person(s). I know a lot of it probably has to do with dramatic effect, but generalizing off of Elle's interpretation of Scarlett's love for Ashley symbolizing the death of the south, is Scarlett's personality representative of the arrogance of the South and how that lead to severe psychological repercussions? - David F. | Very nice insights, Elle.

| + | What a demeaning image of a southern white lady, and how awful to have to play that role and reinforce this stereotype! Scarlett is purely selfish, immature, whiny, vain, stubborn, hysterical, greedy...the list goes on. Uggh! And how she is in the beginning turning from one guy to another, entirely insincere and loving attention. She marries to help herself and spite other men, and it takes until the loving, perfect Melanie dies for her to realize that Ashley was right when he said that he loved his wife and not her, and to realize that Rhett also loved her, like he always said he did. Frankly, I couldn't give a damn what she did without Rhett, either. To sum it up, as Elle said, "God, she's pathetic." -Whitney H. | ||
