Gone With the Wind

I am still in the midst of Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Scarlet is still going through her days as a very young widow with her baby. She doesn't really seem to love her child, maybe because she didn't really love her husband at any point. No other character in the book seems to realize that she married Charles Hamilton not for love but because Ashley was getting married, except for Rhet Butler. Rhet is a man with not the best of reputations, but Scarlet is still intrigued by him. She danced with him at the charity ball, which she got many bad looks for since she was still supost to be in mourning for Charles. This book really shows how a person cannot be changed, even through a war where most men in her life are dying, Scarlet is still the same girl.
