Do you think Scarlett got Rhett back?

[raccoon]

I don't. I think there had been too much "bad stuff" for Rhett to go back to her.

Your thoughts?

[blueraven95]

1. yep

I don't think he could stay away from her.


A little like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

2. I agree...

They were two people meant for each other, but unable to be together. I suspect they spent the rest of their lives attempting to have a relationship.

3. Frankly, my dear, I couldn't give a damn.

:rofl:

4. They're both too self-absorbed to love anyone else. nt

6. She did on "The Simpsons"

The residents of the Springfield Retirement Castle are watching "Gone With the Wind" when we reach the final scene. As Scarlett is worrying about "where will she go, whatever will she do?" Rhett turns to her and says, "Frankly my dear, I love you! Let's re-marry!" as "Edited for Seniors" appears on-screen. From the audience, Hans Moleman is heard to ask, "Didn't there used to be a war in that movie?"

8. it was terrible

[skygazer]

9. No

I think Rhett finally wised up. And I don't really think Scarlett did, no matter what sort of epiphany she thought she had.

[pitohui]

10. i don't think it matters

tomorrow is another day and if she doesn't get rhett back, she'll get another man

think about the sociopathic, manipulative women you've known, if one man finally does "wise up," there is always another who is waiting to be dazzled and ensnared

now as she ages, the next guy may not be as dashing or as attractive as rhett, but there will be some guy

example, i knew a woman like this who was a drug addict as well as a professional con artist, eventually she lost her looks to the drugs and time, but she still has a man supporting her, it's just a very old (and one would presume very blind) man

11. God I hope not. Poor bastard.

12. You all act like Scarlett is the bad one in this

1. Rhett knew she loved someone else when he married her-he talked her into marriage when she was drunk and remorseful over the death of her 2nd husband, who was really too stupid to live. She never cheated on Rhett. He cheated on her repeatedly with that whore, Belle Watling, and would throw it in Scarlett's face that he preferred a whore's company to his wife's.

2. The one occasion with which he has to reproach her for her feelings for Ashley was a situation that didn't even involve romance or lust. They were comforting each other about losses of childhood friends they had in common, who died during or after the war. Even Melanie knew this, which is why she protected Scarlett from the social fallout. India Wilkes was a bitch who never got over Scarlett stealing hubby #1 from her stupid sister (Honey Wilkes), so she tried to take Scarlett down for an innocent act.

3. Yes, Scarlett was an obnoxious, arrogant, shallow woman. Rhett told her he loved her for those reasons, and for her smart business sense.

As Stephen King had a character say years later, "Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive". Scarlett survived.

I think that they could have worked it out, if he stopped drinking and carousing and if she lightened up a little bit and responded to his romantic overtures. When Melanie died, she realized that she didn't love Ashley at all, and was able to redefine that relationship as a friendship, and herself as a godmother to Ash and Melanie's kid (who was friends with her kid by marriage #1, conviently left out of the movie, along with her daughter by Frank Kennedy). Especially if she had another baby, and it was a boy (a girl would remind them too much of their dead Bonnie, which they already spent too much energy blaming each other over).

Also, Rhett loved Scarlett's kids by her previous husbands and may have wanted to continue those relationships. The best way to be stepdad is to stay married to mom.

Once Mammy got some rest at Tara, she would have been back, trying to get them back together, too.

In today's world, they would have fought the day Melanie died (where the book ends), and been screwing in the closet at her funeral.

14. Regarding your point #1--however, Scarlett told him she didn't want

to have sex with him any more after Bonnie was born. That continued for a good while.
