Реферат: Gone With The Wind By Mitchell Essay

injustice done on the south and on her loved ones. Melanie married her cousin,

Ashley Wilkes; therefore she became Scarlett?s antagonist. Melanie was

generous, loving, and forgiving at all times to all people. Although she was

physically weak, her heart was strong. In the end her second pregnancy caused

her death and she put her trust in Scarlett to take care of her husband and son.

Ashley Wilkes was the gentle and elegant son of a plantation owner. He was weak

and indecisive. He was not any good at farming or hard labor. However, he did

take on tasks of honor and sacrifice. After the war, Ashley lost the life he had

expected and had difficulty finding the strength to continue his life. Rhett

Butler was a very wealthy, handsome, southern gentleman from Charleston. He was

a man who knew his own mind and followed it no matter what. He was a smart

businessman, but had a sense of honor and integrity that he always returned to.

He was irresistibly drawn to Scarlett, who he saw was just like him. Against his

better judgment, he fell in love with and married her, despite of her faults.

The first conflict was the War and its effects on the south. The characters were

trying to reclaim their old life, even though so much had changed. They had

dreams of victory despite the evidence of losing the battle. It is almost as if

everyone was in denial. The conflict was resolved when the war was over, the

soldiers came home, and everyone began trying to rebuild their lives. The second

conflict was that Scarlett believed she would marry Ashley Wilkes, and he

married Melanie. She tried to convince him not to, but he did not listen.

Throughout the story, she tried to charm him away from Melanie. The conflict was

resolved when Scarlett found out she really loved her husband, Rhett Butler. The

third conflict also involved Scarlett. She desperately needed money to keep Tara

from being taken by the carpetbaggers after the war. They wanted three hundred

dollars and she only had ten left. Scarlett went to Rhett (before they were

married) and he refused so she went to Frank Kennedy. He married her and helped

her open a business with Ashley. She was then able to pay the taxes with her

income and Tara was saved. The fourth conflict was another involving Scarlett.
