My girlfriend insisted I read Gone with the Wind, she said it was literature. So after much resistance, I finally did. In the middle of the book, I suddenly got it and told her, “Hey wait a mind, Scarlet O Hara is a bitch!”
She replied, “yep.”
So I said, “But I thought she was the heroine.”
She replied, “yep.”
That’s why wives and GF’s love both movies. men are morons and women are heroines. They just want to emasculate us while we watch it with them s/
here’s the alternative ending to Gone with the Wind

Scarlett’s a bit of an anti-heroine. In the course of the book, on the plus side, she saves her home, provides for her family and servants and starts a successful business. On the down side, she’s has no scruples in achieving her aims. She’s admirable in many ways. Rhett is her counterpart - he, too, is unscrupulous but also highly intelligent and opportunistic. It’s really a wonderful book.
