Character Profiles
Scarlett O'Hara
Scarlett is the protagonist of the novel and the events and characters are seen mostly through her eyes. Born into a wealthy plantation family, Scarlett longs to be a "great lady" like her aristocratic and saintly mother, Ellen, but in fact takes more after her father, Gerald, a willful, self-made man of practical Irish peasant stock. Scarlett is headstrong, selfish and ruthless. Before the war, she takes care to hide these qualities under a veneer of ladylike charm and her efforts are mainly directed to attracting men away from other women. When the war leads the O'Haras to lose their wealth, Scarlett has to find a new role. She gives up pretending to be the demure Southern belle and allows the calculating and domineering aspects of her character free rein, utilizing whatever means are necessary to become a wealthy and successful businesswoman. Determined not to lose her family plantation, Tara, the one constant love of her life, she triumphs over huge adversity to save it and turn it into a viable farm. During the difficult period of the war and subsequent Reconstruction, Scarlett financially supports her family and household, including the Wilkes family.
Scarlett first marries Charles Hamilton to wreak revenge on Ashley Wilkes, whom she has loved from childhood but who has infuriated Scarlett by marrying Melanie Hamilton. Scarlett has a son, Wade Hampton, by Charles before Charles dies in the war. Subsequently, Scarlett marries Frank Kennedy, another man whom she does not love, in order to pay the taxes on Tara. She and Frank have a daughter, Ella. Scarlett scandalizes Frank by her insistence on running her own businesses, but he is too weak to stand in her way.
Scarlett alienates much of Southern society with her "unwomanly" behavior and unscrupulous business practices, but does not care for the opinions of others. The only person who both sees her for what she is and loves her is Rhett Butler, who becomes her third husband. Scarlett and Rhett have a daughter, Bonnie, who becomes their favorite child.
Scarlett is so self-absorbed that she has little insight into other people. She spends most of the novel in love with Ashley Wilkes, a man who is both completely different from and utterly unsuited to her, and thus fails to notice that Rhett Butler is similar to her, is a perfect match for her, and loves her intensely. Though Melanie Wilkes believes that Scarlett supports her and her family out of altruistic motives, in fact Scarlett only does it for Ashley. Scarlett's fixation with Ashley drives much of the plot. It fatally undermines her marriage with Rhett and she only comes to see Ashley's faults and Rhett's strength when she has already lost Rhett's love. Scarlett is also blind to Melanie's true nature for most of the novel, feeling contempt for Melanie's outward frailty and timidity and failing to recognize her great inner strength. Scarlett only realizes how much strength she draws from Melanie and how much she relies upon her when Melanie is dying. Melanie only sees the good in people, and she remains Scarlett's staunch defender in the face of much criticism and resentment from other people.
Scarlett symbolizes both the Old and New South, and her fate parallels that of the South during the war and Reconstruction period. Her clinging to Ashley represents the Old Southern part of her, whereas her attraction to Rhett represents the New Southern part. Both Scarlett and the South have to overcome terrible hardships and adapt to the changing times in order to survive. They must set aside the Old Southern values of chivalry, the importance of 'good' breeding, integrity and kindness in favor of the New Southern (influenced by the North) values of entrepreneurship, ruthless opportunism and financial success. Scarlett adapts extraordinarily well because her hard, ruthless character finds a match in the nature of the times; it could be said that she was designed for this age.
Rhett Butler
Rhett is the dark, dashing and disreputable son of a wealthy old Charleston family. Disowned by his family and expelled from West Point for dishonorable behavior, Rhett is something of an outsider in genteel Southern society. Cynical and brutally honest, he delights in puncturing pomposity and hypocrisy by telling the truth as he sees it, caring little about what others think of him. When the war breaks out, he does not immediately follow the patriotic young men into the army, but becomes a blockade-runner and later, a speculator, in line with his opportunistic conviction that there is as much money to be made in the destruction of a civilization as in its rise. By the end of the war, Rhett is one of the few wealthy people in the South.
Rhett recognizes a kindred spirit in Scarlett and quickly falls for her. Alone among her acquaintances, he sees through her every trick and deception, but loves her anyway. One of the tragedies of their relationship is that he is unable to tell her of his feelings. Instead, he hides behind a veneer of sardonic humor and bland indifference that Scarlett is too insensitive to penetrate. At the end of the novel, he reveals how much he has loved her and explains his reticence: "You're so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip." Another reason why he keeps his emotions under wraps is Scarlett's obsession with Ashley. This finally wears out his love for Scarlett and at the end of the novel, he leaves her.
That Rhett has a good heart under his cynical shell is clear from his many selfless acts. He risks his own life to save Ashley and other Atlanta men during a Ku Klux Klan raid, and his devotion to his daughter by Scarlett, Bonnie, becomes legendary among the people of Atlanta. Most importantly, he supports and helps Scarlett in many ways. Rhett lends her money to buy the sawmill, and when the rest of Atlanta is condemning her for her unwomanly behavior in running her businesses, he is the only person who encourages her. She comes to rely on him as the only person to whom she can talk with total honesty, though typically, she fails to understand that his unflagging support and understanding are signs of his love for her. She also spends most of the novel only seeing Rhett's disreputable aspects, dismissing him as a "scoundrel" and "not a gentleman." This also becomes Atlanta society's view of him when he is engaging in speculation, profiteering, and trading with the Yankees at the expense of the South. Only Melanie is his constant champion, maintaining that he is much misunderstood and better than people think him.
In many ways, Rhett has feminist instincts. He helps three women start or expand their businesses - Scarlett, Belle Watling, and Mrs Merriwether - at a time when 'decent' women were not supposed to engage in trade. Also, he finds it incomprehensible that women are supposed to disappear from society when they are pregnant.
Rhett symbolizes the New South, the values of entrepreneurship and ruthless opportunism that the South is forced to adopt under the influence of the North in order to survive the war. Most of the time, he refuses to conform to Southern patriotic expectations and is openly contemptuous of them. However, on two occasions, Rhett reveals that he has more of the Old Southern gentleman in him than he cares to admit. The first occasion is after the Yankee bombardment of Atlanta, when he leaves Scarlett to make her own way back to Tara and goes to join the Confederate army at a time when defeat seems imminent. The second occasion is at the end of the novel, when he again leaves Scarlett, this time to make peace with his prominent Old Southern family and to recapture something of the refined life of a Southern gentleman. Rhett's unexpected patriotism symbolically suggests that however much the South adapts to the values of the changing times, at its heart, it maintains the dream of graceful living that characterized the Old South.
Ashley Wilkes
Ashley is a Southern gentleman born into the wealthy family that owns Twelve Oaks plantation. Though he is attracted to Scarlett, he recognizes that she is very different from him, and marries Melanie Hamilton, who is very like him. Ashley stands in contrast to Rhett for most of the novel. He is honorable, courteous and skilled in the gentlemanly pursuits of the arts, poetry, and riding. After the war, unlike Rhett and Scarlett, he fails to adapt to the changing times and his weaknesses become more obvious. He dreams of the old days, when life had a beauty and grace that has been swept away by the war. Scarlett supports him and his family at Tara, but he proves a poor farmer. Then she sets him up in business as manager of her mill in Atlanta, but he fails to make a profit. He sacrifices his honor by accepting Scarlett's charity, and never recovers his self-esteem.
Ashley further compromises his honor by admitting to Scarlett that he loves her and kissing her. He later says that he regrets not marrying her. Ashley's actions in marrying Melanie rather than Scarlett and continuing to foster Scarlett's love for him seem both lacking in courage and disrespectful to both women. Only Rhett sees this clearly throughout, though after the scandal breaks about Ashley and Scarlett's embrace at the lumber yard and Ashley simply hides behind Melanie's honor, Scarlett too begins to wonder whether Ashley has played the "manly" part.
Only when Melanie dies does Ashley realize how much he loved her and depended upon her strength. Now that Ashley is deprived of the prop of Melanie, Scarlett finally sees him as he is, a weak man, even a child who needs to be looked after. She sees that it is not Ashley whom she has loved all these years but a creation of her imagination.
Ashley represents the Old South and those Southerners who yearn for the days before the war. He is unwilling or unable to change with the times and thus is one of those who are "winnowed out" by the war. Scarlett's fixation with him represents that part of her that clings to the past. Finally, she realizes that pining for the lost world of the Old South makes people weak and unable to act, and is able to let go of Ashley.
