She is...Scarlett really is a brilliant protagonist. She is so selfish. I remember reread this a couple years ago and seeing her selfishness really come out in her treatment of her firstborn. It was heartbreaking to see his timidity. I love this book so much!

I'll do the last one next Saturday, ok? Your observations regarding Scarlett are spot-on. And you are right, we don't have to like her to realize what a great character she is. My feelings towards her have varied widely during the read-along, and by now I am pretty much where I was at the beginning: mostly annoyed by her inability and unwillingness to consider anyone other than herself. Her disintegrating marriage to Rhett was sad to read about. They are so right and also so wrong for each other. And Bonnie's death... so tragic. I'm not sure you could pack much else into this book; there's some of everything in it. And lots to think about. See you next Saturday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
