The best thing about this story is that almost all its characters are grey. There aren't just good guys and bad guys. Each person is both and each has reasons for the way they think, act and react. Guess, that's what makes them humane and extraordinarily powerful and different from other classics.

[@adsoyad2320]

Moon Dasgupta exactly

[@amandadle]

Exactly. I feel like people overlook Scarlett's strong will and integrity in keeping Melanie safe. She had some decent traits, although the convict labor is deplorable. People demonize Scarlett and hold Rhett on a pedestal and say she didn't deserve him, like he treated her like a princess. In the book, Mitchell even says that he's the one man who doesn't respect Scarlett and wants to domesticate her basically (loving her like a "pet"), like that's a good thing. He loved her because she was like a wild horse, but did not see her as an equal.

One reason she had to rely on Scarlett was because she was so sick and weak after giving birth. Nothing immoral about that. She repaid Scarlett with fierce loyalty. Defending her when no one else would. The whole point of the Melly character is to contrast her virtue with Scarlett's deception and greed.

Leslie Howard was a brilliant actor, IMO. I have seen 25+ of his movies. He only agreed to do GWTW bc he was promised he could act in & produce Intermezzo by Selznick. Intermezzo is a terrific movie. He didn't like the milquetoast character of Ashley. He never saw the completed movie bc his visa was about to expire & he had to return to Britain & he forfeited his profits from GWTW. He wanted to do what he could against the Nazis & he gave his life for his efforts. Love you forever, Leslie!

Exactly. Ashley found Scarlett charming and sexy. He was impressed with various aspects of her personality, but he was not in love with her. She was the kind of woman he'd flirt with or date, but never marry. And once he was married to Melanie, he was too decent to cheat on her with Scarlett. Scarlet mistook his intrigue with her to be genuine love and thought that it was only Ashley's sense of duty and honor that kept him from being with her. She was right that Ashley should have told her years ago that he really loved Melanie. Scarlett had spent years loving the fictional Ashley and not the real Ashley.

I don't think it was a crush. Scarlett did love Ashley, but part of her infatuation was that she really thought Ashley wanted her. First she thought, as she said when she broke the vase, that he was too afraid to marry her because they were very different. Then she assumed he had too much honor to leave his wife and child for her. At the end she realizes that he found her charming and sexy, but he never really loved her the way he loved Melanie.

Ashley was one of the worst characters in the book. He's victimizes himself for not being able to adapt to the post-war life and dwells on past privilege and tradition. He just bitches and moans and does a horrible job getting his hands dirty to survive (how he sucks at chopping wood lol).

[@tracys169]

I didn't think this was manipulation. It was his true self. He was being honest about attracted to her but he was also honest that he couldn't leave his wife and son behind. But I do think his ego was properly stroked by having a woman like Scarlett (beautiful, passionate, strong) wanting him and repeatedly coming on to him. I think he found her properly 'hot' (for lack of a better term) and would have sex with her if his 'honor' didn't prevent him to do so. He is human, come on LOL. But y'all are right that he was not very able to adapt to the post-war life like Scarlett and Rhett (who are willing to get their hands dirty literally and figuratively). Melanie noticed this too, that's why she asked Scarlett to care for Ashley after she's died.

[@QuietlyCurious]

Many, many people do. It's very common behavior unfortunately

[@indhuskitchenandvlogs]

@@tracys169 you r right. Ashley is stuck up in the lost world.cant adapt to the post war world. Many were like this. In "Glass menagerie" these stuck up ppl are shown living in an imaginary world. They continue their old life of grandeur in imagination living in poverty ,hard up to pay their bills, but won't lose their honour. Like fragile glass pieces in a menagerie they live and the least reality will shatter them to pieces. Here Ashley is pathetic when he says he wants to escape from reality. Scarlett on the other hand is strong. She delivered Melanie's baby with little knowledge of "birthing babies", drove the hard rode to Tara amidst war with a new born baby ,tired Melanie and the "simple minded"Prissy.She asks to tie the stray cow in Twelve oaks to feed milk for Melanie's, baby. She is the real fighter. Rhett goes to fight in the end of war ashamed of himself after seeing scarlet's fighting spirit. The true fighter in Gone with the wind is Scarlett who always works hand to have "food on the table"for her folks and "pay taxes"for Tara which is her only sheter.she became a business woman trading in lumber a great leap in those days. She is shrewd ,as timber is an important raw material for connstruction in post war Atlanta burnt down by Sherman.

@ThatsNotPoetry I think that was intentional. The film seems to be aware that while Scarlett and Rhett have good in them, they are at times the most spoiled, whiny, selfish, and manipulative people you would ever see. However that's what makes them so entertaining to watch (particularly when together) and makes their positive elements shine all the more. Scarlett holds her family together and Rhett's willing to help others when the time comes and he doesn't put up with nonsense.

So it is his honor what is holds him back to fuck Scarlett nothing else. And do you want to hear another "funny" thing? Scarlett never thought of Ashley with lust EVER. She thought their "love" is pure - haha, how she was wrong all along, it is really tragic.

She also understood that Ashley was just as attracted to Scarlet as every other man in her orbit. The great tragedy is that Ashely is horribly weak and ambiguous with Scarlet.

In truth, her feelings for Aslhey is just a teenage girl crush that never disappered. Ashley on the other hand, he was only attracted to her phisically and probably enjoyed the fact that a woman like Scarlett wanted him that much. Despite caring her for her as a friend, he always made up excuses to why they coudn't be together (Honor being the most prominent one.) but in truth, he loved his wife but wanted to have sex with Scarlett but his Southern Gentleman sense of honor prevented him from doing it..

I don't necessarily like Ashley's character, but tbh, I kind of 'get' why he's lusted for Scarlett. His wife is so frail that sex would probably hurt her and they probably had to have very little of it or abstain because she would probably die if she got knocked up (and they're pretty fertile that he managed to knock her up the first 'leave' he had). So, in the book, he is this young mid 20s man, red-blooded (sure he may be quiet/introverted but still a sexual being) and to have this gorgeous, charming young woman (who's the belle of the ball basically) kept throwing herself at him, professing her love. Who wouldn't be tempted? He's human. But at least, he was 'honorable' enough to stop from having sex with her... Yeah, imo, he's too 'honest' to admit that he was lusting after her but he was honest to tell her that he wouldn't leave and hurt Melanie. Even when he did say he didn't love her, she wouldn't 'take' it. That's how stubborn our Scarlett is lol.

ashley love scarlet but he knows that he is not match for her because they were different in character.in the end he realized that he loves melanie.but melanie is going to die.scarlet in the end realized too that the man she really like is rhett.she realized too that she dont realy like ashley.she thinks ashley will like a baby that she need to take care too.instead that ashley will take care of her.rhett is so manly and strong and always care for scarlett.but sadly rhett is already gave up on her because he thought scarlett will never loved him and rhett go away from scarlet.in the end scarlett choose not to give up on rhett and decide to find him

[@DarthTofu2]

I love the way Cracked comments are always at the top of these videos within a day of the article being posted.

[@hardToSignUpHere]

more than that, Rhett is immature, but, yes, he has experience, if that's what you mean! :p

[@NERFgunWARLORD]

Hey I'm a guy and my name is Ashley -------why mom why did you name me this?!!!

[@ejrobison99]

Ashley is such a WIMP while Rhett is so awesome!!!!!!!!! Why Can't Scarlett be satisfied with Rhett? (who she doesn't deserve!) Oh Scarlett.....

[@amandadle]

BLTKellys and he left her in the woods in the middle of the war with a dying woman and her newborn child, continually cheated on her, and was extremely emotionally abusive. Scarlett “emotionally cheated” on Rhett with Ashley but he married her knowing she loved him, so he lashed out by actually physically cheating on her. He demonized Scarlett for not loving him back, but he was such a dick to her that I don’t even blame her. I could go on and on lol

[@VTMCompany]

This is the best scene in GWTW. Scarlett's true love will always be Ashley, not Rhett.

[@clararodriguez-bc3xo]

Lee la novela. Scarrlett solo al final Conprendio que no era amor.era capricho.y el verdadero amor lo dejo Pasar. Un problema muy recurente entre Las mujeres.

[@arontamas5639]

Unfortunately people down to the Earth have such a crush for people who like to dream.

[@QuietlyCurious]

Maybe if they had hooked up once, it would snap both of them out of the fantasy. Sometimes u have to see for yourself that it's simply lust and nothing more.

[@abandonallhope.1040]

I think Ashley knew it was a fantasy the entire time but just didn’t have the courage or moral fiber to admit it. As for Scarlett, if Ashley had slept with her, I think it would have confirmed in her mind his feelings for her and would have made things worse.

[@QuietlyCurious]

@@abandonallhope.1040 oof good point

Ơ nhưng mà Ashly đã hôn Scarlett khi anh ta đã có vợ, đây là hành động ngoại tình mà??? Hay thời xưa người ta sống thoáng vậy chứ mình xem bị giật mình luôn á, xem cut nên chưa hiểu toàn cảnh, ai giải thích cho tui vớii

[@PungiFungi]

Watching Gone With the Wind, especially during the aftermath of the Civil War, I totally understand why the memory of the Civil War is still so vividly alive in the South. The Confederate monuments we see in the South were a bone tossed by the North as some sort of olive branch. Hence I cringed at the SJWs of today who are trying to remove these monuments, trying to be relevant and historically significant.

I feel like Scarlett here....💔

I cant see Scarlet cryies for the one who love

[@VAUGHANMM]

Ashley is bipolar. So is Scarlett and Rhett. As a matter of fact, everybody is kinda of bipolar to some extent.

[@katiekim2023]

How could they bear with burdens at the time? It totally makes sense all of them in war and after war were bipolar

[@fakesmile5428]

Monique Vaughan bipolar? ahahahaha

Should I name my son Ashley??

I thought that was a female name.

@missmuggledetector agreed. i just dont agree that he should be remembered for wanting scarletts body

[@katiemckeiff8472]

I dont get Scarlet she could never marry him because the Wilkes ONLY married their COUSINS and she is NOT his COUSIN

[@collinsrob]

[@marbel388]

Is true 😀

[@christinaaudet1]

What's "Cracked"???

[@breeannwatkins6314]

I dont know what Scarlett saw in him.

[@mrtyrant1680]

She idealized her feelings for Ashley due to how much she misses her old life before the war. What she felt for him was more of an obsession due to Ashley representing everything that she lost and hoped to regain. In truth, her feelings for Ashley is just a teenage girl crush that never disappeared. (Also, the actor in the film was a complete miscast, because in the book, Ashley is a handsome young guy.)

[@dariasus7084]

They don’t deserve each other - I like Ashley as a character because of all his dignity and honour but somehow I feel like they manipulate each other throughout the book

[@furosemide7400]

Scarlett ne renonce jamais!

@TraceurMeeka Yes she does. Cracked just proved it.

Both British.

[@hardToSignUpHere]

now you do really made some comments over here... ;) i just watched the film, so what do i know... i can understand if you think director could have made a better interpretation of the characters. i just dont agree with many other people that rhett guy is that awesome, unless you are a really boring person with very low self-esteem

[@IloveGorgeousGeorge]

That's a funny way to make me a sandwich.

[@josiahthomas9649]

In all honesty, Scarlett really is a total bitc* and I do not know or remember ever hearing that Scatter the character has a mental disorder of any kind. Please correct me if I am wrong or if in the book it says anything about her having a mental disorder. I know she is very self centered and only cares about herself. But she lives in a marriage to Rhett who she does not ever love. She lives her life in complete bitterness and unhappiness. I know in real life the actress Vivien Leigh did have severe bioplar disorder and depression. That is not out of disrespect for her. She is an incredible amazing actress. I just mean that I feel that she was able to connect very well with Scartlett in this iconic classic role. I do not know really what kind of person Viven was but I do know that she was somehow able to her emotional stability and latch it to connect that element with Scartlett O'Hara. Just some of my thoughts

[@Daviticus042]

Feminist icon, right there...is it any wonder that the women's movement is so out of balance?

[@windstorm1000]

she's feminist icon---there's different types--has own business, plays both Ashley and Rhett, does her own thing.

[@carolinaamaya2714]

:(

[@christinaaudet1]

lol

[@vicongos]

@Daviticus042 i can't believe anyone would make scarlett a feminist icon. as an independent girl, i am disgusted of her.

[@windstorm1000]

she's very much feminist! are you kidding!?

[@dora1980]

Scarlett was not a feminist or independent at all. She was married 3 times, if I remember correctly, and she did it for the money.She married men she didn't love only because they were rich.

[@Tania-rg7jp]

@@dora1980 Scarlett is a fictional character but women back then largely couldn’t work. Your husbands wages determined your life. Also do not forget SCARLET grew up wealthy. So she is MERGING her wealth with any man she marries.

[@OreadNYC]

​@@windstorm1000 She spends the entire film allowing her obsession with a man whom she cannot have -- another woman's husband -- to determine most of her actions. She marries three men whom she does not love, one out of sheer spite and the other two for money -- and she doesn't have any respect for two of them. She doesn't have much patience with or respect for anyone whom she can't make use of for her own personal benefit, and she's inclined to take action without sparing much concern for the potential impact of her actions and decisions on other people. There's much more to being a feminist than simply being stubborn and strong-willed.

[@OreadNYC]

​@@Tania-rg7jp No, she didn't. Even if Tara hadn't been pillaged by the Yankees and nearly everything of value removed, the Union blockade would have made it difficult for the O'Hara family to find a market for their cotton. Whatever wealth the O'Haras still have at the end of the war is either in the form of Confederate currency -- which at that point is absolutely worthless -- or in the house and land (since Lincoln has formally freed all the slaves). The land is still viable and thus still worth something, but probably not as much as it once was since most of the slaves are gone. Remember the scene in which Tara's former overseer visits? He's there to buy Tara out from underneath Scarlett, probably for pennies on the dollar. The reason why Scarlett goes to visit Rhett in jail is because she believes she can get money from him to pay the debts on Tara -- and when Rhett turns her down and she sees Frank Kennedy, she lies to him about Suellen marrying someone else so that she can get the money from him.
