Gone With the Wind

Well, some thousand page books can be read in a relatively short time, and seem to remember GWWT being one such. It would be interesting rereading it. I read it several times in HS, then saw the movie several times. I wouldn't mind going back for a reread to remind myself what the movie missed. Go ahead and nominate it and see what happens.

Gone with the Wind is one of my favourite books and I would love to re-read it sometime. I think the film misses out a couple of Scarlett's husbands!!

The film has all three of her husbands, but skips two of her children. Also skips a wealth of great story. It really would have made a better miniseries.

I'll have to wait for an appropriate theme to come back around.

I could have swore a couple of husbands were missing

1. Charles Hamilton
2. Frank Kennedy
3. Rhett Butler

That's all the husbands Scarlett ever had.

The missing children are Wade Hampton Hamilton and Ella Kennedy.

Well, I knew something was missed out!

It's obvious now that I do need to have a re-read!

I've never seen the movie, but I would guess it also leaves out all the backstory on Scarlett's parents. Not absolutely necessary to the plot, but it does add so much to the story overall, and helps in understanding Scarlett's character.
