Notes
Gone with the Wind is a historical novel by Margaret Mitchell, published in 1936, that tells the story of Scarlett O’Hara, a headstrong and determined Southern belle, as she navigates life, love, and loss during the American Civil War and the Reconstruction era. Set in Georgia, the novel captures the fall of the Old South and the drastic social and economic changes that follow. Scarlett's complicated relationships—particularly with the charming but cynical Rhett Butler—form the emotional core of the story. Through her struggles, the novel explores themes of survival, identity, pride, and the shifting roles of women in a changing world. It remains one of the most popular and controversial American novels, known both for its sweeping romance and its portrayal of race and Southern heritage.
