I had started reading this book for 2 months now. It is really hard to understand deeplly for me. The expression in the story is not easy, but it's really fun, too. Now I want to show you my impression of this story little by littele.
It takes guts to make your main character
spoiled, selfish, and stupid, someone without any redeeming qualities, and
write an epic novel about her. But it works for two reasons. First of all you
wait for justice to fall its merciless blow with one of the most recognized
lines in cinema ("frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"), but you end
with a broken and somewhat repentant character and you can't be pitiless.
Secondly, if you were going to parallel the beautiful, affluent, lazy, spirited
South being conquered by the intellectual, industrious North, what better way
to do that than with characters who embody those characteristics? You come to
feel a level of sadness that the South and Scarlett lost their war and hope
that they will rebuild.
