Love, Friendship and Family of Gone with the wind
A war swallowed a beautiful woman, a perfect family and a love. Everything seemed to be a dream, going with the wind.
Scarlet, a gifted nobleman, should have tasted sweetness of love, but she bore tragedy of her love, crush of her family love and falling of her friendship in the trouble times. So without dependence, she learnt to be more independent and stronger than before. To my sadness, she didn’t obtain what she wanted throughout.
For her love, Ashley was a pure dream. Scarlet loved only his bright appearance in fact, as elegant poems sank Scarlet into dubious illusion. Therefore, she realized her true love wasn’t Ashley who was perfect in her, but Butler eventually. On the contrary, Butler was ambitious, not like Ashley. He won his own love finally, Scarlet, expressing his power. Although Butler didn’t integrate into swelldom really, he was fit for Scarlet. However, when Scarlet poured her love to Butler, he refused her, even abandoned her because his heart was filled with scars. Their crystal of love went with the wind, their love gone with the wind.
For her friendship, not only Scarlet depended upon Melanie, but envied her, getting Ashley’s love. In fact, it was not until Melanie died that Scarlet realized she relied on Melanie. Melanie was alike an angel from heaven, kindhearted and virtuous. She was core of Ashley. In reality, Scarlet liked what Ashley was, was Ashley who was protected by Melanie. So in the opposite of envying Melanie, Scarlet loved her. Their friendship was subtle.
For her family, it was a tragedy. Eventually, it was incoherent. No parties, no cheerful chatting and laughing, there was just broken walls of Tara. All got away from Scarlet into another world, leaving her alone to face the cruel war. This witnessed a social vicissitude.
Gone with the wind, displayed a pretty woman chasing true love, described a cruel war and depicted a subtle friendship. In the story, selfishness of Scarlet, avarice of Butler, goodness of Melanie and recreance of Ashley appeared before our eyes. Not only gone with the wind was a novel, but an encyclopedia about characters.
As readers, in my opinion, we don’t browse it, but peruse mind of it and apperceive it. To learn how to depict a character and to deliver a mind though the character is what we should do after perusing it.
