Do you not understand that fiction always reflects non-fiction? My God! It's not like Margaret Mitchell didn't know anything about the war. In fact, it's said that there are no factual mistakes in GWTW - down to the type of buttons on the women's dresses.

I guess you think Homer and Euripides weren't reflecting history.

Always?

My God! It's not like Margaret Mitchell didn't know anything about the war. In fact, it's said that there are no factual mistakes in GWTW - down to the type of buttons on the women's dresses.

And the fact that there was no Rhett Butler, no Scarlet O'Hara, no Tara...

I guess you think Homer and Euripides weren't reflecting history.

I guess you think that Carl Sandburg wrote a dead-on accurate biography of Lincoln.
