I felt like her marriage to Rhett was her "comeuppance" but I really ended up feeling sorry for her, more than I did for any of the other characters.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701724130997076650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-46233350915665468522016-03-20T06:03:42.591-07:002016-03-20T06:03:42.591-07:00Oh yes, a world of difference between a justifiabl...Oh yes, a world of difference between a justifiably-'good' character and one who makes an engaging film.

I get what you were trying to say.<br />And i totally agree that Scarlet is a fantastic character, much more engaging / entertaining in the film / book than Melanie. Whist I sort of agree that Mel's goodness can get more than a little cloying at times,, I'd rather have her around than the others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-17697020035348199372016-03-19T12:15:19.016-07:002016-03-19T12:15:19.016-07:00I don't think Scarlett is a good person, but I...I don't think Scarlett is a good person, but I think she is an excellent character. Anyway, her brattiness annoys me less than Melanie's "goodness." Not sure what that says about me. The information about Rhett is...disappointing.

No, she's a selfish, self centered brat. Whilst seeing your point about the 'final salute' as you put it, something in me wanted them to be stuck in the hell of each others company - they deserved it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918265332894443061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-77107924442632587842016-03-18T11:52:24.809-07:002016-03-18T11:52:24.809-07:00You cannot be unimpressed with the achievement GWT...You cannot be unimpressed with the achievement GWTW is. Technically and the format is way above anything until at least the mid fifties. However, and here you can start throwing things at me, I did not like Scarlett. Not one bit. I do not see an empowered woman but a selfish ass who was willing to throw away what she did not even deserve for a dream that could and should never happen. That does not mean I dislike the movie. Gable's final salute is enough satisfaction to sit through four hour. Only regret is that it took so long, but man, it felt good.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-11129764787920142742013-11-26T07:07:06.997-08:002013-11-26T07:07:06.997-08:00Haha okay I get what she means too.
