“Gone with the Wind” is a novel by Margaret Mitchell, which has become one of the best examples American literature XX century. Having written just one novel, Mitchell became famous throughout the world - after all, every line of her work reveals true feelings, strong courageous characters, and shows the history of the country and each person individually.
Although love story is the basis of the plot, it does not stand out as the main one. Tender feelings of children and parents, patriotic sentiments of a proud nation defending its land, friendship and loyalty - this is what the reader encounters on the pages of the novel.
Scarlett O'Hara is the main character of the novel Gone with the Wind, a strong and courageous woman. She is capable of experiencing the most tender feelings and at the same time fearlessly protecting her loved ones. She is categorical in everything, and if she loves, then forever. She is alien to despondency, she is an optimist and believes that motherland will find peace again. And when she is overwhelmed by sad thoughts, she brushes them off, putting them off “for tomorrow.”
Her meeting with Rhett Butler is not accidental. It’s like a combination of two incredible elements, giving rise to a storm of emotions and frank feelings. Rhett is proud, strong, brave, handsome man. He is rich, he has many fans, but Scarlett becomes the one for him, for whom he is ready to sacrifice a lot in his life. Carried away by the wind of love, they each in their own way resist the impending danger, fueling their feelings for each other.

I just love this book, I’ve read it several times and, of course, watched the movie.
I am very close to Scarlett’s character, so impudent, headstrong, stubborn. But at some moments it is clear that she needs support, that she is still a girl, soft and gentle. I would really like to be like her.
And I was looking for a husband with Butler’s character. This is exactly how I see it a real man- persistent, self-possessed, not giving free rein to emotions, reasonable.
This couple is just an explosive mixture, but how perfectly they complement each other.
They quarrel and make up, and each time they life paths intertwined more and more tightly.
Every girl should definitely read this book!
I look at Scarlett now rather through the eyes of Melanie, what strength of spirit she has, after all, to survive after all the difficulties that she had to endure. Her character cannot be called pleasant, she regularly plays dirty tricks on the less fortunate women around her. And Rhett is a match for her, he is also not a real gentleman, although he sometimes commits noble deeds. But the most important thing, in my opinion, is what this book talks about - how fragile mutual happiness is and how difficult it is to meet it. You learn this together with Scarlett.
I first read this book back in school. It captivated me so much that after reading it, I was probably still impressed for a week. I watched the film afterward and really liked it.
I re-read it the other day, of course, that “Wow!” — there is no effect like in childhood, but the interest and overall impression are still very strong. Still, love is a very strong thing.
Scarlett and Rhett Butler seem to be made for each other - only like this strong people can overcome everything that befalls them. Yes, they are far from ideal people, but who among the strong is not a sinner.
Author of the great novel Gone with the Wind Margaret Mitchell She didn’t live a very long and very difficult life. The only thing she created literary work brought the writer world fame and wealth, but took away too much spiritual strength.
The film based on the novel by American writer Margaret Mitchell “Gone with the Wind” was released in 1939 - just three years after the publication of the book. The premiere was attended by Hollywood stars Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, who played the roles of the main characters - Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. A modest thin woman in a hat stood at a distance from the movie beauties. The frenzied crowd hardly noticed her. But this was Margaret Mitchell herself, the author of the book, which during the writer’s lifetime became a classic of American literature. She basked in the glory of her work from 1936 to 1949 - until the very day of her death.
Sportswoman and coquette
Margaret Mitchell was almost contemporary with the 20th century. She was born in the same Atlanta (Georgia), which became the setting for her immortal novel. The girl was born into a prosperous and wealthy family. Her father was a lawyer. The mother, although officially listed as a housewife, joined the suffragette movement - women who fought for their voting rights.
In general, the author largely based the green-eyed Scarlett O'Hara on herself. Mitchell was half-Irish and Southern to the core. But one should not think that the writer was some kind of old maid in pince-nez and with a pen in hand. Not at all.
The novel "Gone with the Wind" begins with the phrase: "Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful." But Margaret Mitchell was beautiful. Although, apparently, she did not consider herself particularly attractive, since she began the novel with such a phrase. But she was clearly being modest. Her dark hair, almond-shaped green eyes and slender figure attracted men like a magnet. But contemporaries remembered Margaret not as a flighty beauty, but, first of all, as a wonderful storyteller and an amazing listener of other people's memories. Both of Mitchell's grandfathers served in the Civil War between the North and the South, and the future writer would spend hours listening to stories about their exploits during that time.
This is how one of her friends later recalled Mitchell: “It is difficult to describe Peggy (Margaret’s childhood nickname - author’s note) with a pen, to convey her cheerfulness, her interest in people and a thorough knowledge of their nature, the breadth of her interests and range of reading, her devotion to friends, as well as the liveliness and charm of her speech. Many Southerners are natural storytellers, but Peggy told her stories so funny and skillfully that people in a crowded room could listen to her, transfixed, all evening.”
Margaret combined a passion for coquetry and sports entertainment, extraordinary learning abilities and interest in knowledge, a thirst for independence and... the desire to create a good, but completely patriarchal family. Mitchell was not a romantic. Contemporaries considered her practical and even stingy. Legends later circulated about how methodically she extracted royalties from publishers, cent by cent...
While still at school, the lawyer's daughter wrote simple plays in a romantic style for the student theater... After receiving her secondary education, Mitchell studied for a year at the prestigious Massachusetts College. There she was literally hypnotized by the ideas of the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. It is quite possible that the American would have become one of his students and followers if not for a tragic event: in 1919, during the Spanish flu pandemic, her mother died. And shortly before this, Henry, Margaret’s fiancé, died in Europe.
Desperate Reporter
Mitchell returned to Atlanta to take over the management of the house. The girl was too young and energetic to be depressed. She did not fussily look for herself new batch- here the suffragist “part” of her nature came into play. Instead, she chose a career she loved, becoming a reporter for the Atlanta Journal.
Margaret's light and sharp pen quickly made her one of the publication's leading journalists. Patriarchal Southern society had a hard time digesting a female journalist. The editor of the publication at first directly told the ambitious girl: “How can a lady from a good family afford to write about the inhabitants of the city’s bottom and talk with various ragamuffins?” Mitchell was surprised by such a question: she could never understand what women worse than men. This is probably why her heroine Scarlett was one of those about whom in Russia they say in the words of the poet Nekrasov: “He will stop a galloping horse and enter a burning hut.” The reports from the journalist’s pen were crisp, clear, and did not leave the reader with any questions...
During the war, Mitchell worked for the Red Cross. The photo shows a visit to a warship in 1941.
Atlanta residents recalled: her return to hometown created a real sensation among the male population. According to rumors, the educated and elegant beauty received almost four dozen marriage proposals from gentlemen! But, as often happens in such situations, the chosen one was far from the best. Miss Mitchell could not resist the charms of Berrien "Red" Upshaw - a tall, handsome man. The groom's witness at the wedding was a modest, educated young man, John Marsh.
Margaret saw family life as a series of entertainments: parties, receptions, horseback riding. Both spouses adored equestrian sports since childhood. The writer also endowed Scarlett with this trait...
Red became the prototype for Rhett - their names are similar. But, unfortunately, only in external manifestations. The husband turned out to be a man of a cruel, violent disposition. Just a little bit - he grabbed the gun. The unfortunate wife had to feel the weight of his fists. Margaret showed here too: she is not cut out for it. Now there was a gun in her purse too. Soon the couple divorced. All the city gossips watched the humiliating divorce procedure with bated breath. But Mitchell went through this test with her head held high. Margaret's tenure as Mrs. Upshaw was short. And then - I wasn’t even divorced for a year!
In 1925 she married the modest and devoted John Marsh. Finally, quiet happiness settled in her house!
Book for husband
The newly minted Mrs. Marsh resigned from the magazine. Why? Some say: due to an injury received when falling from a horse. Others say: Margaret decided to devote time to her family. In any case, she once said: “ Married woman must be first and foremost a wife. I am Mrs. John R. Marsh." Of course, Mrs. Marsh was lying. She had no intention of limiting her life to the world of the kitchen. Margaret was clearly tired of reporting and decided to devote herself to literature.
"Gone With the Wind". In the first year after publication, more than a million copies of the novel were sold.
She introduced only her husband to the first chapters of Gone with the Wind. It was he who became her from the first days best friend, critic and advisor. The novel was ready by the end of the 1920s, but Margaret was afraid to publish it. Folders of papers were collecting dust in the closet of the Marsh's new large house. Their home became the center of the town's intellectual life - something like a literary salon. One of the editors of the Macmillan publishing house also dropped by.
Margaret couldn't make up her mind for a long time. But still I gave the manuscript to the editor. After reading it, he immediately realized that he was holding a future bestseller in his hands. It took six months to finalize the novel. The author came up with the final name of the heroine - Scarlett - right in the editorial office. Mitchell took the name from a poem by the poet Dawson.
The publisher was right: the book instantly became a bestseller. And the author became a laureate of the prestigious Pulitzer Prize in 1937. To date, the total circulation of her book in the United States alone has reached almost thirty million copies.
But neither fame nor money brought happiness to the writer. The peace of the house, which she and her husband had so protected, was disrupted. Margaret herself tried to control cash flows into her own budget. But financial matters only brought fatigue. I no longer had the strength to be creative.
And then faithful John fell ill. Mitchell turned into a caring caregiver. And it turned out to be difficult, because her health began to rapidly deteriorate. By the end of the 1940s, the couple's health began to improve. They even allowed themselves small “cultural” forays. But the returning happiness was short-lived. In August 1949, a car driven by a drunk driver hit Margaret, who was walking with her husband to the cinema. Five days later, the author of Gone with the Wind died.

Chapter 1
Scarlett O'Hara was not a beauty, but men were unlikely to realize this if, like the Tarleton twins, they became victims of her charms. The refined features of her mother, a local aristocrat of French origin, and the large, expressive features of her father, a healthy Irishman, were very intricately combined in her face. Scarlett's wide-cheeked, chiseled face involuntarily attracted the eye. Especially the eyes - slightly slanted, light green, transparent, framed by dark eyelashes. On a forehead as white as a magnolia petal - ah, this white skin that the women of the American South are so proud of, carefully protecting it with hats, veils and mittens from the hot Georgia sun! - two immaculately clear lines of eyebrows quickly flew up obliquely - from the bridge of the nose to the temples.
In short, she presented a charming sight, sitting in the company of Stuart and Brent Tarleton in the cool shade behind the columns of the spacious porch of Tara - her father's vast estate. It was 1861, a clear April day was approaching evening. Scarlett's new green floral dress, made up of twelve yards of muslin, lay in airy waves on the hoops of the crinoline, in perfect harmony with the green morocco white heels her father had just brought her from Atlanta. The bodice of the dress hugged her impeccable waist, undoubtedly the thinnest in the three counties of the state, and a perfectly formed bust for sixteen years. But neither the decorously straightened skirts, nor the modesty of the hairstyle - pulled together in a tight knot and hidden in a hair net - nor the small white hands sedately folded on the knees could deceive: green eyes - restless, bright (oh how much willfulness and fire there was in them! ) - entered into an argument with polite, secular restraint of manners, betraying the true essence of this nature. The manners were the result of the gentle instructions of the mother and the harsher nagging of the Mother. Nature gave her eyes.
On either side of her, casually lounging in chairs, the long, muscular legs of first-class riders in knee-high boots stretched out crossed at the ankles, the twins laughed and chatted, the sun hitting their faces through the tall, stuccoed glass windows, forcing them to squint. Tall, strong-bodied and narrow-hipped, tanned, red-haired, nineteen years old, wearing identical blue jackets and mustard-colored breeches, they were indistinguishable from each other, like two bolls of cotton.
Against a green background of young foliage, the snow-white crowns of flowering dogwood trees shimmered in the slanting rays of the setting sun. The twins' horses, large animals, golden bay, matching the hair of their owners, stood at the hitching post in the driveway, and at the horses' feet a pack of lean, nervous hounds, invariably accompanying Stuart and Brent on all their trips, squabbled at some distance, as befits to the aristocrat, a spotted Dalmatian dog lay with his muzzle down on his paws and waited patiently for the young people to go home for dinner.
The twins, horses and hounds were not just inseparable comrades - they shared stronger bonds. Young, healthy, agile and graceful, they were a match for each other, equally cheerful and carefree, and the young men were no less ardent than their horses - hot, and sometimes dangerous - but for all that, meek and obedient in the hands of those who knew how to manage them.
And although all three, sitting on the porch, were born for the free life of planters and from the cradle were brought up in contentment and ease, surrounded by a host of servants, their faces did not seem either weak-willed or pampered. In these boys one could feel the strength and determination of the villagers, accustomed to living under open air, without particularly burdening your brains with boring book wisdom. Clayton County in North Georgia was still young, and life there, in the opinion of the inhabitants of Charleston, Savannah and Augusta, had not yet lost some of its roughness. The older, more sedate inhabitants of the South looked down upon the new settlers, but here in north Georgia a slight deficiency in the subtleties of classical education was no one's fault if it was compensated by good skill in what was of real value. And what was valuable was the ability to grow cotton, sit well in the saddle, shoot accurately, not lose face at dances, gallantly court the ladies and remain a gentleman even when drunk.
All these qualities were to a large extent inherent in the twins, who were also widely famous for their rare inability to assimilate any knowledge gleaned from books. Their parents belonged more money, more horses, more slaves than any other family in the county, but in terms of grammar the twins were inferior to most of their poor neighbors - "starves", as poor whites were called in the South.
It was for this reason that Stuart and Brent were lounging on Tara's porch that April afternoon. They had just been kicked out of the University of Georgia, the fourth university in two years to show them the door, by their older brothers. Tom and Boyd returned home with them, not wanting to stay within the walls educational institution, where the younger ones were not at home. Stuart and Brent viewed their latest expulsion from university as a very funny joke, and Scarlett, not once all year - after graduation high school, Fayetteville boarding school for young girls, - who did not pick up the books of her own free will, also found it quite funny.
“I know it’s neither hot nor cold for you that you were expelled, and for Tom too,” she said, “But what about Boyd?” It's like he really wants to become educated, and you pulled him out of the University of Virginia, and the University of Alabama, and the University of South Carolina, and now the University of Georgia. If he continues like this, he will never be able to finish anything.
“Well, he can study law just fine in Judge Parmalee’s office in Fayetteville,” Brent replied nonchalantly. - Besides, our exclusion, in essence, does not change anything. We would still have to return home before the end of the semester.
This is war, stupid! The war is due to begin any day now, and we won’t be poring over books while others are fighting, as you think?
“You both know very well that there will be no war,” Scarlett waved it off in annoyance. - All this is just talk. Ashley Wilkes and his father were telling Dad just last week that our representatives in Washington would come to this very... a mutually acceptable agreement with Mr. Lincoln regarding the Confederacy. And in general, the Yankees are too afraid of us to decide to fight with us. There will be no war, and I'm tired of hearing about it.
1Plot
A novel about the civil war between the northern industrial and southern agricultural states of America. The political and economic situation in the country was developing in such a way that it was not profitable for northerners to keep slaves to work in factories; they needed civilian workers, while for southerners slaves were ideally suited to work in the fields. As a result, in response to demands from the north for the abolition of slavery, the southern states tried to form their own state. This is how the war began.
Charming Scarlett O'Hara, half Irish, has the rare gift of charming men. She is sure: everyone is crazy about her, especially Ashley Wilkes, who will one day become her husband. But at one of the balls, the beauty is disappointed: Ashley is engaged, but not to her, but to his cousin Melanie, who seems to Scarlett to be a loser and not at all beautiful. Why did he do this?
Scarlett is sure that if she just explains to Ashley, admits that she doesn’t need fans for nothing, everything will miraculously return to normal, and Ashley will immediately ask her to marry. After listening to her explanation, Ashley admits that her feelings are mutual, but he cannot break his word and therefore marries Melanie. To top it all off, it turns out that their conversation was accidentally overheard by Rhett Butler, a man with a fairly tarnished reputation. In confusion, Scarlett runs out of the library where everything happened and hears the girls she knows, including sisters Ashley and Melanie, discussing her. Wanting revenge on Sweetie Wilkes, she accepts the proposal of Charles Hamilton, Melanie's brother and Sweetie's admirer. A month later she marries him.
The war begins. Charles dies in the southern camp, contracting pneumonia and not even having time to go into battle, leaving his wife as an inheritance of a son Wade. She is 17 years old, but she is a widow, she will have to mourn for the rest of her life, which, however, is over for her. There are no more dances and fans, no more carefree and happiness.
Frightened and shocked by such a rapid change in life, Scarlett goes to Atlanta to visit her husband's relatives. She stays with Aunt Pitty, where Melanie also lives, knowing this, Scarlett does not lose hope of meeting Ashley. There she again meets Rhett, who now helps her regain her former carelessness, assures her that not everything is lost for her. And although she goes against the rules and takes off mourning ahead of time, Scarlett is happy. The only thing that poisons her life is the caustic remarks and jokes of Rhett, who, it turns out, is incredibly rich, and shows Scarlett signs of attention.
The southerners' strict views on the rules are gradually changing, the war dictates its own rules, young girls - and Scarlett is already considered a respectable matron, although she is only 19 years old - allow themselves what she would never allow herself. The familiar world is collapsing: before, everyone lived in their own tight circle, knowing each other since childhood, but now these boys are in foreign lands, and Atlanta is filled with new faces. Melanie is pregnant, the pregnancy is very difficult, Ashley is missing and, apparently, is in captivity. The Yankees are getting closer and closer to Atlanta, residents are leaving the city. She needs to escape, but Melanie won’t survive the move, and Scarlett, bound by the promise to take care of Melanie and the child given to Ashley, cannot leave her, although she is visited by thoughts that it would be better if Melanie died.
On the day Atlanta fell, Scarlett is the only one next to Melanie and delivers her child, now Ashley has a son - Beau.
Rhett, having learned that Melanie gave birth, finds a thin nag with a stroller and they leave the besieged Atlanta. However, halfway through, Rhett declares that duty and honor call him to enlist in the ranks of the Confederates, and he must leave the women. Scarlett, distraught with horror, vows to hate him until her death and the journey home begins. There are soldiers all around, you can’t tell whether they are your own or strangers, but you have to beware of both. However, Scarlett, Melanie, two children and the maid Prissy manage to get to Tara safely. It should be quieter there, away from the noisy world. Tara is intact, although dark and empty. The Yankee headquarters was set up in the house, the blacks fled in horror, only the most faithful remained - the nanny of the entire female half of the family O Hara - Mommy, Gerald's footman - Pork, and his wife, Sambo, Dilsey. But Scarlett soon learns that her mother died shortly before her return, while caring for her sisters who were sick with typhus, and some time later it turns out that her father, unable to bear the loss, lost his mind. It seemed to him that Ellin was somewhere nearby, about to enter the room, rustling her black dress, which smelled of lemon verbena. He lost interest in life, he was no longer interested in business, “as if Ellin was the one auditorium, before which a fascinating performance called “The Life of Gerald O'Hara” was performed, and now the hall was empty, the stage lights went out...” But Scarlett had no time to grieve, she, willy-nilly, turned out to be the only person who was able to solve problems, and There were a lot of problems, but the main one was where to get food, and she began to establish life in Tara. Little by little, neighbors appeared, all rich planters in the past, but now impoverished ragamuffins, living in worse conditions than their blacks lived. During that period, Scarlett killed a Yankee robber who was trying to take Ellyn's jewelry out of their house, and Melanie helped her bury him. The Yankees were buried in the garden. Nobody else ever found out about it. The world in which everyone lived has collapsed, and then there are taxes. Scarlett doesn't have the money to pay for Tara, so she decides to swallow her pride and turn to Rhett for help. She goes to Atlanta, but finds out that he is in prison. All her dreams - to caress Butler and beg for money - collapsed.
Out of desperation she marries Frank Kennedy, the fiance of his sister Suellen. And then Rhett returns from prison. “He rushed to my aid, wanted to do everything in his power,” Scarlett realized that Rhett loved her. And she loved Ashley.
Scarlett and Frank have a daughter Ella Lorina. Ashley and Melanie, with Scarlett's help, moved to Atlanta. Scarlett continues to look after Ashley, finds him a job and never stops dreaming about their possible happiness. Frank dies in a shootout during a Ku Klux Klan raid on a free black camp. Rhett proposes to her the next day.
And so - new life Scarlett! Joy, wealth, feasts! Rhett doted on his wife and daughter - Bonnie Blue Butler. But their daughter, aged 4, broke her neck after falling from her pony. Rhett and Scarlett finally quarreled.
Dies due to Melanie's pregnancy. She dreamed so much about a second child, why? - Scarlett did not understand the joys of motherhood at all. But she loved Melanie so much! Melanie, who took Ashley away from her - there is no more that childhood love and stupid jealousy. “Take care of Rhett. He loves you so much,” Melanie left for another world with a happy smile on her lips...
No more love for Ashley. But Rhett is not around either. He left forever. But Scarlett is determined to find him.
Nothing. I'll find Rhett. Tomorrow. Tomorrow will be another day.

Data
- At first, the author planned to call the novel “Tote Your Heavy Bag” or “Tomorrow is Another Day.” The title "Gone with the Wind" is based on the third stanza of Ernest Dawson's poem "Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae":
I have forgot much, Cynara! gone, gone with the wind,
Flung roses, roses riotously with the throng,
Dancing, to put your pale, lost lilies out of mind;
But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,
Yea, all the time, because the dance was long:
I have been faithful to thee, Cynara! in my fashion.
