gone with the wind

Published in 1936, Gone with the Wind became an immediate best-seller, bringing first-time novelist Margaret Mitchell an overwhelming amount of critical and popular attention. Awarded the 1937 Pulitzer Prize, the novel was adapted as a film in 1939—an achievement that won ten Academy Awards. A historical romance set in northern Georgia during the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction years, Gone with the Wind traces the life of Scarlett O'Hara and her relationships with Rhett Butler, and Ashley and Melanie Wilkes. The novel addresses such themes as survival, romantic love, and the societal structuring of gender and class.

Scarlett O' Hara is the antiheroine of Gone with the Wind, a character who breaks the conventions of a romance novel from the first line of the book—"Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it." A spoiled, high-tempered, and strong-willed sixteen-year-old Southern belle, Scarlett is the eldest of three O'Hara daughters who live an idyllic life on a north Georgia plantation called Tara. In the opening scenes, the O'Haras prepare to entertain their neighbors with a barbecue, and Scarlett plots to capture the man she loves—Ashley Wilkes—from her friend, Melanie. However, Ashley rejects her, and Scarlett's nemesis, Rhett Butler, overhears her humiliation. Rhett, a wealthy outcast from high society who "looks like one of the Borgias," is both amused by and interested in Scarlett.

Then she moves to Atlanta to stay with Ashley’s wife “Melanie Wilkes.” Melanie starts to love Scarlett like her sister and Scarlett think that Melanie was a ridiculous and to generous person.
Then she meets Rnett an millionaire man they become friends and Scarlett take advantage of that. Scarlett promise him to keep Melanie safe. Melanie had a new son “Beau”.Then the mother of Melanie died.

Comment
I think that is a interesting movie because it shows the way that a woman can love a men and the place she lives. She don´t care what people think about her, she did whatever she wants. It also shows many different aspects, which many of us can learn from.
