Margaret Mitchell

 The Creators, Directors, and Producers of Gone With the Wind


Margaret Mitchell wrote and created the book Gone With the Wind. Gone With the Wind is one of the most impressive books in literature because it is historical fiction that describes how racism and war are unneeded. Mitchell's impressive book described the realities of warfare and how war is not good. The book describes the time after the Civil War and Lincoln's assassination. While the Union was beginning to heal and be reconstructed, we learn that racism still existed.

The book described how life was not perfect then because of the practice of racism. It is noted that there was significant racism in the South and how racism is also not needed in life. Gone With the Wind described the reality of war seeing how both sides were devastated by the war. (The Civil War was a war of necessity due to the need to end slavery and racism.) However the book details about how warfare, in general, is not a solution to problems. The Reconstructed South had tremendous setbacks and had to be rebuilt. 

Gone With the Wind, initially, described an amazing female protagonist who did not get discouraged and was positive. Despite going through difficulties from having to rebuild, Scarlett O' Hara, has optimism and keeps persevering. Scarlet is a different character that also detailed the feminist psychology in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Scarlett was also quite fickle having the affection of males, yet did not care about the males that liked her. Instead she liked another individual who did not like her.

Gone With the Wind describes how racism and warfare are not positive and do not help. Scarlett persists to rebuild despite the setbacks and difficulties of the Civil War. We learn about different individuals who were of dubious character and parasitic in the racist idolators (while appearing to be Christian, the racists were actually idolators), carpetbaggers, and scalawags who were essentially idolators who loved money above everything including loyalty. Racist idolators hated that slavery was abolished and turned to envy and hate. Carpetbaggers were northerners who went to the South and attempted to steal while appearing kind and compassionate. Scalawags were individuals who made money from being opportunistic in the Civil War not having loyalty to either side and only caring about making money. Scalawags obtained resources and went to either side selling resources only caring about money. Essentially carpetbaggers and scalawags were idolatrous socialists in those times. It may have been that racist socialists and/or money loving idolators (it is difficult to say if there is separation between both forms of idolatry) were who planned the assassination of Abraham Lincoln for actually wanting to improve the United States by ending slavery, promoting equality, and caring about his citizens instead of loving money and inequality (iniquity).

Gone With The Wind, the Film

Gone With the Wind was made into a blockbuster film that won multiple Academy Awards in 1939. Gone With the Wind had fifteen script writers, three separate directors, and thousands of intricate costumes from the Civil War era. It was one of the most impressive films of all times for being able to describe the truth about how pacifism is desired to warfare. (The Civil War was justified because racism has no place in civil society.) Yet the film also described how there were socialist individuals who only cared about making money once the war was over. They did not want the war to end and for the nation to heal. They wanted continual warfare so that they could keep making money. (This describes the individuals who love unneeded warfare seen in Vietnam and other wars.) 

The film was impressive because it was able to reprise the Civil War era with impressive cinematography. It was five or six hours long and was denoted to be an impressive project by the makers of the movie. The film also described how Scarlett was a feminist who wanted to lead. The film described that while having multiple suitors, she wanted the man that did not want her. Once she had the man that did not want her, she did not want him anymore (This describes the irrationality of marxist-feminism.) Scarlett finally falls in love with, Rhett Butler, a scalawag, who is not a saint yet also does not allow for Scarlet to lead him and manipulate him (While scalawags were negative in history, in the fictious film, Butler is described as a man that has self respect and is not manipulated by Scarlett.) Butler cares for Scarlett yet knows that she is opportunistic. Scarlett marries Butler and they have a child, yet Scarlett does not care about her daughter. Once her daughter dies from falling of a horse, Scarlett does not care and Butler sees that Scarlett is a narcissist. Butler leaves Scarlett after she has no feelings about her daughter, and describes how there are women that are not good and should be avoided.

Marxist-Feminism and Narcissism

Scarlett did not care about her daughter and actually saw her as competition. The film and book describe how marxist-feminists do not care about their children. Scarlett hated and envied her daughter for having the filial love of Rhett Butler. Butler loved his daughter and cared about her. Instead of Scarlett caring about her family, she despised and resented having a daughter. Butler acknowledges this and is confused with how Scarlett could be so cynical and envious. When Scarlett's daughter dies, she does not mourn and does not care. Scarlett is a marxist-feminist who only cares about herself and not others. Scarlett initially is presented as a positive individual who has to rebuild despite adversity, yet it is found out at the end of the film that she is actually narcissistic, egoistic, callous, and idolatrous. 

Butler realizes that Scarlett is worse than what she appeared to be. Butler sees that Scarlett did not care about her daughter and saw her as competition instead of her child that needed affection and a stable environment in which to live. Scarlett only cares about how she is seen by others and not about her family. Butler realizes this and decides to leave Scarlett. Butler is an impressive character who is able to have self-respect and does not cater to Scarlett's fickle whims. Scarlett has been denoted as a role model for socialist feminists and may describe why the film was removed from streaming services. (Socialists removed the film in the 2010s not out of feeling offended for the racism of those times since socialists are racists, but because they did not want individuals learning about marxist-feminist psychology seen in Scarlett's example. Marxist-feminists were saying that all women are perfect when that is not true. Gone With the Wind also describes marxist psychology in the carpetbaggers, scalawags, and radical racist feminists like Scarlett denoted at the end of the film and book.)

Deceitfulness in the Scalawags

The scalawags had boats and ran trading routes in both the North and South. They loved war because they made money not caring about human lives. Butler was a scalawag who loves money, yet the love of money causes him to meet Scarlett and like Scarlett. Scarlett was attracted to Butler because of his money. Scarlett was not a good person despite appearing to have manners being egoistic. The only positives of Butler was that he loved his daughter and did not let himself be manipulated by Scarlett. Scarlett goes from being the protagonist to a villain for describing how she only cared about herself, her appearance, and money. Butler while not being a good person, did care about his daughter and had self-respect leaving Scarlett.

Historically, scalawags were scoundrels who appeared to have manners yet cared only about money. Scalawags were essentially criminals who did not care about their country and only cared about paper money. Scalawags were socialists. Gone With the Wind taught the need to be aware of negative individuals that are narcissists and only care about money. Scarlett is a flawed character who cares more about her appearance than her family. Initially, she is portrayed as brave, sociable, and civil but by the end of the film and book, we learn that she is different.
