[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought that Scarlett's patrician mother (Old South aristocracy) was the contrast with her "Mick" (Mitchell uses this term throughout the novel) father. Just as Scarlett is a contrast with the Old Guard with her willingness to scrap and fight for her survival. Sort of the aristocracy who are refined and mannered but weak and will die out in a crisis vs. the unmannered proletariat who are equipped to survive.[/quote] Yup. I think it's new south vs. old south symbolism.[/quote]
