Just finish reading this book
Quite interesting…
background is the American Civil War
*
But the only thing is it's slightly long
It took me 2 weeks plus to finish the novel
But imagine the writer using
10 years to complete it
should pay her tribute for her great effort
*
I think is very appropriate for the writer to
Make Scarlett the protagonist in the story
Her characters portrayed are so real
*
And at certain points
I thought I share some similarities with her
Head-strong, arrogant, unforgiving, jealous…
*
The other characters in the novel
are quite real and impressive as well.
*
The love story part is so so long…
Supposed Scarlet gets the chance
to marry Ashley
but she married Charles
out of fury for people
who have been gossiping about her
*
two months later
she found herself a pregnant widow
gave birth to a son
*
then she escaped from the war scenes
with the help of Rhett
a rough man, known to be a rogue
*
after the war
she was trying to rebuild her home
out of desperation for money to pay tax
she marries her sister's fiancé, Frank
takes control of his business
*
her business tactics makes her
an unpopular figure
then Frank is tragically killed by KKK
*
Remorseful after Frank's death
Scarlett marries Rhett
who is aware of her passion for Ashley
but hopes that one day
she will come to love him instead
*
Scarlett eventually comes to
realize that she does love Rhett
but only after the couple
has been through so much that
Rhett has fallen out of love with her
*
so she never really meet a true soul mate
she married thrice
all three with the man she doesn’t loves
ultimately when she came to
realize her mistake
it was already too late
*
so…
is it true that
in our life time
we will only meet that particular one once
and if you miss that only chance
you will miss it forever
*
or…
if we have missed the previous one
we should forget about him/her
and learn to receive another new person
*
love is…
a funny little game
*
