In the history of American Entertainment, no subject has been more historic than the Civil War. Whether in novels, television shows, or movies, some of the most beloved and durable works of historic culture have used the war as a point of reference, departure, or focus. But no work about the Civil War has attained the place of gone with the wind.

In my opinion, the main character of the novel/movie Scarlett O'Hara was the best character of all. She was the spoiled, manipulative daughter of an Irish immigrant plantation owner. She faces the changes in her life due to the American Civil War. She had a very much closed mind. It was never opened to ideas. Later on in the movie, she was the head of the family, after the deaths of the main family members. She was the one who encouraged the whole family to work hard in Tara and pay the back the taxes ($ 300). Another incident was the pregnancy of Melanie's child while Atlanta was on fire. She had to drive the carriage all the way to Tara. Another incident was the emotional support to Ashley and Melanie and many more In one way, these events was a lesson to herself. On the other hand, she becomes entwined with a mysterious, charming man named Rhett Butler. Rhett recognizes "and admires "Scarlett as scheming and ambitious. Through war, peace, marriages, births, and deaths, Scarlett continues her pursuit of Ashley while Rhett continues his pursuit of Scarlett. Both the movie and book versions of gone with the wind became important documents of American culture for the rest of the world. .
