[quote=Anonymous]The slaves are depicted more like servants than slaves. Slave narratives make it clear that slaves were raped and subject to severe punishments, even in 19th century obuscitory language. It describes, but more importantly, believes in, the idea that southerners were aristocrats, and that by being aristocrats, were superior human beings. Melanie and Ashley are saintly. No one learns anything from the war. Scarlet emerges as a shrewd businesswoman, and gets rich. I think Margaret Mitchell accurately described the psychology of many people. They longed for that society and believed in it wholeheartedly. It also depicts the horror of the Civil War and the many casualties very effectively.[/quote]
