I’ll say for Scarlett. She did what she had to in order to survive. Yes, she got a lot of hate but this was a time when a woman got hate if she didn’t stay in her lane

Scarlett is impressive in her strength, I must admit I am equally as impressed with Mammy and her strength. Likely even more so.

Thank you ❤

Excellent … just discovered you. Now a subscriber. 👍🏼

Gone with the Wind, although very beautiful and artistically done, is just racist claptrap. I don't want to feel sorry for Scarlett. She lost everything and missed the good old days when she could whip, or even kill, people if they didn't do what she said. “As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again”. I hope she lives the rest of her life poor and gets buried in a pauper's grave. I think I understand her.

No one ever mentions that Rhett (a supposedly mature and smart man) is just as obsessed with Scarlet as she is with Ashley - with a lot less encouragement.

There goes to the most misunderstood character ever, Scarlett O hara they could never make me hate you. When the book starts she’s only 16 years old and extremely spoiled. Her world crumbles and yet she manages to save everyone- even people she claims to dislike. Her redeeming qualities were far greater than her flaws. For one, she kept her word at all times even in life threatening situations. This is specifically showcased when she saved Melanie and her baby by risking her own life. Secondly, the way she defended Charles sword for her little boy, again risking her life for something unimportant to her only for her child. Thirdly, the way she fiercely loved both her parents and Ashley, to the point of idolising them and not seeing any fault in them. Lastly, even when she got wealthy she always supported everyone else financially too. I loved her for all of those qualities. Her inner monologue and the fact that by the end of the war she ended up being completely traumatised by taking the world on her shoulders and losing everything that she cared for made her unlikeable for some, but to me only showcased the fact that people turn numb and cold in order to survive in life threatening situations and are afraid to get their heart broken again. Her emotions after war were glossed over a lot and she didn’t manage to realise she loved Melanie, Rhett and Bonnie until it was too late. But we get to see her heartbreak for all of her losses by the end which unravels the greater truth of her characters core: she is not evil, she is simply frozen in time right before everything collapsed around her.

I’m just here for the pictures. 😬

I'm thoroughly enjoying these short stories... Thank you!

If Scarlet were a man, she-he would get far less criticism.

Life is still so much the same today

Love the drawings! Just subscribed!

Well done! This is a Dickens I am looking forward to read.

Omg. This leaves out 90% of everything. This could have been a great in depth summary instead of a chopped up click bait.

Thankfully, the Kdrama I watched over this story goes on a different route. Scarlett doesn't obsess over Ashley anymore after she realizes Rhett was the one. She instead focuses all her energy to secure Rhett.

I'm sure someone said this already, but in case no one has, the word "Frankly" was added in the 1939 movie version, whereas in the book Rhett's final line was, "My dear, I don't give a damn." Also, Scarlett had a son with Charles Hamilton, Wade Hampton Hamilton, and had a daughter with Frank Kennedy, Ella Lorena Kennedy, before she had Bonnie with Rhett Butler.

movie recap. not the book at all…

It's really hard for me not to hate this character, even though she did a lot for her parental family. While, stealing her sisters' men (even though the men in question were all too ready to be "stolen", the society didn't see it like this) can be excused as a means for survival of a whole family, given the context, that largely meant literally depriving them from ever having families of their own, while being forced to watch as she pops a kid after kid with their exes. If I was her sister, I'd rather consider not surviving a better option, than depending on someone like that. She never even pretends understanding their pain. And the kids? The kids she openly never loved and was disgusted by. These kids are not even named characters in the book. And the one who she actually loved? Was so spoiled, that nobody could tell "no" to her, and that's literally what lead to her death, for which Scarlett only blamed Rhett, the father, but never herself. And I get it that she was not cut out for love and motherhood (as well as friendships and human relationships in general) was bad with emotions, lived in an era, where she couldn't forge her own path without becoming a wife, and was forced to make some hard decisions for the sake of others. The thing is that she never once owns consequences of her actions. To her it's always someone else's fault she ended up in a situations she doesn't like. Like, the reason she doesn't like her son is because he is not handsome and was born from a loveless marriage. Ok, girl, you married his below average looking dad for money, what did you expect? Yes, you had limited options, but it was ultimately your decision. But no, you see nothing wrong with kinda blaming the kids for being born the way they are. And this kind of logic is applied to a lot of things in Scarlett's life. But a lot of people, even though they read the book, kind of forget about this side of her, because she is a young strong-willed woman who "saved her family" and living in a wrong time period, as if it excuses not admitting to her BS ever.

Wonderful book.

Beautiful illustrations! Who is the artist?

GWTW was published in 1936. While it was a timeless story, many women who struggled through the Great Depression identified with it deeply. I remember that my mother told me that my Grandmother referred to the book many times as it related to her experience with the depression, and trying to keep the household together while my grandfather was unemployed.

What a Tale

rhett never came back. he was done with her. they never really communicated with each other.

Great work

So you're telling me Rhett shows up after the war is over? I'm out. 😂

I have read Gone with the Wind twice, and Rhett’ Butler’s People, and Scarlett once each. The three paint a very unique picture of all the characters, I love the character of Scarlett O’ Hara and think she is a marvelous survivor. I will defend her to the end.

I felt that - to a degree -Ashlee led her on. He never said, "It's over. Forget me". I think he was in love with Melanie, but he also had a childhood crush on Scarlett that he didn't want to let go of. Also, Scarlett fed his ego by constantly fawning over him, and he didn't really want to lose that "supply".

😊🙏 Love these short but concise reviews indeed! The artworks are so gorgeous & inspiring! Thank You So Much Express Books ... Many Happy Good Blessings in Return to Express Books ... 🌷🌿🌏💜🕊

These illustrated summaries are just beautiful. Thank you.

What was the purpose of this video?

I am a GWTW fanatic and your explanation of Scarlett O'Hara is a misfire. You skipped her first seeing Rhett leering at her, Scarlett's plan to 'love-bomb' Ashley at the barbecue, and her confronting Rhett when her plan crumbled. You glossed over Rhett's visiting her in Atlanta and their becoming friends who gave each other stimulating repartee before Atlanta fell to Sherman. What happened to Rhett getting Scarlett, Melanie, and Prissy out of Atlanta and the scintillating kiss on the bridge before he joined "The Claus"? You forgot that Scarlett got pregnant at the drop of a hat, giving birth to Wade Hamilton and later Ella Kennedy. Where's Mammy, Pork, Aunt Pittypat and Will Benteen, the pantheon of characters who schooled her and held their breath when she acted out? Scarlett had charm, guts and drive but she was no one-woman army. The folks in her life gave her major assistance and guidance. Leaving them out is like using the initials as opposed the the signature. Please read the novel and redo this.

Is no one going to mention the AI artwork? Did no one else notice the random extra arms/hands or the jumps in costume styles?

There was a second book to this

👩🏻‍🌾👰🏻‍♀️ Good to hear a perspective of the story I had never seen, for a story that I never wanted to read again because it felt so tragic all around. You bring a bit of light to it, thank you.

That book was a tough read for me, but it was very well written. Scarlett being ss young as she was explained a lot. But she wasn't likeable. Determined and cutthroat, she was definitely a survivor. I hated how she viewed her children with the men she didn't love. Overall, it made me feel a variety of emotions and I liked it. It has a place on my bookshelf.

A "deep dive"? More like a brief summary of the film...

Margaret Mitchell used her own life to model her characters. Her first husband was an abusive alcoholic who inspired Rhett Butler and her second husband was a gentle intellectual who inspired Ashley Wilkes.

A little dissapointed.....this summary is not accurate to the book.

I saw the movie, the impression I get is Scarlett likes to monkey branch between lovers, she likes to pit one against the other, flirting with one and then with the other. I'm not surprised Rhett got tired of this.

Margaret Mitchell's Scarlett was described by her as not being beautiful, not an "arresting beauty".

This was a rendition of the film not the real book story as one reads it. I read it as a 17 year old, second time as a 70 year old -that 3 years ago and the understanding of the book’s depth was only seen in the second reading.

Just such a depressing story all the way through and you never get a happy ending

Everyone misses the fact that Scarlet could only do what she did because Melanie was the hidden knight defending her against everyone. She understood Scarlet completely. Scarlet realizes it far too late and it is like losing her mother again.

Racist traitor!

00:35 She has three arms.
