[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655904, member: 1550"] Well, it did, but you could see that she was pretty much doing what we do to our Difficult Child...enabling his helplessness. And he had a few meltdowns where he almost betrayed his wife because of his attraction to Scarlett and she was ready to "do it" but he backed off every time and said, "NO! NO! We will NOT." Once he planned to leave with Melody, but she used Melody's love for her (Melody had no idea that Scarlet loved her husband) and Scarlett talked Melody into staying on Tara with her by crying and saying Ashley was ungrateful and wouldn't stay and help her when she had offered him half interest in her mill. He had wanted to strike out on his own or felt he never would. You really got to see how browbeaten Ashley was when he said, bitterly, "Scarlett, look at me. I will stay here. I won't go to Atlanta. I can't fight you both." He turned and walked away, but you know Scarlett knows that he isn't happy about it and that she is feeling badly about it...however not enough to tell him she's changed her mind. She was selfish until the very end, yet I admired her strength. Man, she was the first strong woman written about. She was a feminist; a survivor. But she was very seflish too. Yet i doubt most people who read the book dislike her. She was a very interesting mix. Read it one day. [/QUOTE]
