Just out of curiosity, I know Rhett was against the war (for most of it) but was still a Captain. How many men had the same luxuries Rhett did and how many really shared his opinion? It seemed to me that most of the men were excited to go off and join the war (just think of that scene at Twelve Oaks) but Rhett was against the idea behind it and never ''had'' to go fight. Why not? -Kelly Wuyscik | Just out of curiosity, I know Rhett was against the war (for most of it) but was still a Captain.

| + | Also, although Scarlet was rather independent for a woman of her time, you still saw the sense of "submissiveness" I guess you could say, that women had towards men. At one point, Rhett looks at Scarlet and says "now blow your nose like a good little girl" and she did as she was told. Women may have had more power than they would have liked, and in some cases enjoyed it like Scarlet, but there was still that sense of dominance that men had over women. Even after Ashley came back and was completely distraught from the war one of Scarlet's first instincts was "Ashley will know what to do." The men were still thought to have had all the answers. -Kelly Wuyscik | ||
