That poem made me think of this:
and how different Gone With The Wind would have been if Scarlett had understood her heart. Also, for the record in the great debate, I never thought Scarlett was a victim of spousal rape. Possibly because I never see Scarlett as a victim of anyone or anything. Your mileage may vary.
oh I have always thought Scarlett always knew her heart, but was denied. In the end she ended up with her true love. I do love Rhett over Ashley though, and I would agree not rape. I do love that book …
In the end, she was alone. Though an argument could be made that Scarlett was her own true love. 😉
I think Tara was her true love.
God that’s a good book, that you can take so many different things from it … and you know I love those Fontaines and the Calverts
Her love for Tara was one of the things that made Alexandra Ripley’s sequel such a disappointment.
I read no sequels.. because how could there be one as good?
You made the right choice.
