A sentence

"She is the only dream I had that lived and breathed and did not die in the face of reality."
--- Ashley Wilkes
(in Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind)

This is perhaps the only sentence uttered by Ashley that I like (or are there more?). Its beautiful, poetic, and honest. :)

  5. I always thought of Ashley as a feeble person..with no charms.. all nice no spice kinda.
    It seems that mitchell made such a weak character of ashley so the strength of butler seems enormous in comparison.

  6. Yeah...absolutely! Ashley is very very weak. And he was there just to make Rhett look strong..a fact that's emphasized by their physics as well.But I somehow feel that Mitchell, very cleverly, actually created just 3 really strong characters. And all of them are women, incidentally. Scarlett, Melanie and Ellen.
