    I am thankful not to have been born and raised during this time period for the following reasons: For me it seems sheer nonsense to corset your body so tight that you would vomit. As a single, young woman, the idea of playing a game of cat and mouse with prospective beaus and most of the time ending up marrying someone you don’t even love is preposterous. Then adding insult to injury you run an entire household while your husband brags and takes all the credit. If the wife dies the husband doesn’t have to dress in black for three years with no social outlet. Boy, it certainly was a man’s world.

    Being close to halfway through the book you can’t help but say to yourself will Scarlett ever grow up, become a caring mother to Wade, and a true, unselfish friend to Melanie? As a parent there is a good lesson to be learned surrounding the character of Scarlett. It does not pay to spoil or indulge your child with every whim that you can afford. Scarlett was a spoiled child/young woman who toiled with all the young mens feelings and look what it afforded her.
