[Gone with the Wind] Miss Margot

The anomaly between Scarlett and Charles can't be hidden from anyone at all. Whether it's Charles's downcast or Scarlett's indifference and indifference, it is very worrying for those who love them.Charles is Melanie's older brother, and Scarlett is Ellen's daughter. Both Melanie and Ellen are examples of old-fashioned southern ladies, weak, lovely, beautiful, and delicate. Also strong.

But this kind of strength is very feminine, soft and strong, just like a mother protecting her child.But it's not like Scarlett, full of edges and corners, and quite aggressive.

Whether it is Ellen or Melanie, when they show their strength, they will hide their edge for fear of offending others, let alone hurting them.But Scarlett is different. She doesn't care about other people's feelings unless the person is very important or meaningful to her.

Just like now, sitting in front of her mother, smelling the fragrance of her body, this fragrance can calm Scarlett down quickly every time in the past, but this time, Scarlett can't hide her guilt.

Because Ellen asked her: "Scarlett, what happened? Did you have any trouble with Charles?"

At that moment, Scarlett was ashamed.

Because she didn't want to make her mother sad, let alone let her down on her.

In the old days, etiquette required women to be submissive to men, not to talk back, not to have opinions, to say "yes, sir" to things, never to say no.

Just like when Ellen was still at Tara Manor, she went to deliver Amy from the poor white family next door and baptized the child who died shortly after birth. Ellen would never shirk or hesitate about this kind of thing , but when she met her husband, she would still talk to him in a negotiating tone.

This is also the requirement of women in this era. They cannot oppose their husbands, but must obey them. They must thank their husbands even if they have made achievements, and praise each other for their good vision...

Both Margo and Scarlet scoffed at this idea.Especially Scarlett, when she was a girl, she made faces in front of the black mother more than once to express her dissatisfaction with this kind of thinking, and after going through so many things, Scarlett even expressed her dissatisfaction with this idea more than once. Disdain for an old custom.

In the original book, she felt pain, and felt that what her mother taught her was wrong, but she didn’t realize that it was because of the change of the times and the disappearance of black slaves, so everything based on this economic foundation disappeared.

And now she feels pain, in addition to the words "times have changed" that Margot occasionally sighs, it is also because of dissatisfaction.

"Why can't I if Margot can?"

If it wasn't Ellen, if Scarlett's mother wasn't Ellen but Mrs. Merryweather or Mrs. Whiting, Scarlett would definitely ask this question.

But the truth is, Scarlett's mother is Ellen!

Therefore, when she felt her mother's sadness, Scarlett could only whisper: "Mom, oh, mom, I'm sorry."

Scarlett knew he was embarrassing his mother once again.

Ellen took her daughter's hand and said, "Margo is right. You have always been the child I worry about the most. I know how stubborn you are. My daughter, this is also what worries me the most. You are too stubborn. "

"Mom, you mean Margot?"

Ellen said: "Yes, this is the difference between you and Margot,"

As she spoke, she motioned Scarlett to look out the window. She saw Margot holding a small parasol and holding her husband's hand. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the nearby grove. Whether it was Margot or George, they There are smiles on their faces.The sun shone on them, coating them with a beautiful halo, just like the old days before the war started.

Scarlett froze.

She and Margot were twins, not to mention she was a bright girl herself.She understood immediately what her mother meant.

Both are daughters of the O'Hara family, the same age, and both have a lot of jobs, but no matter how busy they are, Marge will find time every week to get in touch with her husband, just like today, spending a few hours Time for a walk.Not to mention, she spends a lot of time every day playing games with her children and teaching them how to read.

But Scarlett hadn't talked to her husband for a long time, let alone her son Wade Jr. was terrified of her.

Staring outside in a daze for a while, Scarlett came to his senses only when Margot and George walked away.

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

"Scarlett, why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything wrong, I mean, you didn't do me any wrong. You shouldn't be apologizing to me."

"Oh, mom, mom..."

"Scarlett, tell me, what's going on? I'm worried. Tell me baby, will you?"

Scarlett finally couldn't bear it and threw herself into her mother's arms:

"Oh, Mom, I, I'm so scared..."

"Oh, it's all right, it's all right, baby, it's all right. The war's over."

Scarlet shook his head desperately:

"No, it's not over. We white women are likely to be attacked on the street, but our men are likely to be thrown into the prison by the Yankees if they want to protect us. I understand this, I see it all But mother, Charles doesn't understand! He's taking me on a trip... Oh, mother, he doesn't understand at all..."

"So, this is your disagreement?"

Ellen held Scarlett by the shoulders so that her daughter could look her directly in the eyes.

Scarlett nodded.

Ellen shook her head: "Poor child, you are frightened, the war is over."

"No, the war is not over."

Scarlett said it emphatically.

Looking at such a daughter, Ellen didn't know what to do.

She knew very well that Scarlett was definitely not that kind of timid girl.She knew very well that Scarlett dared to ride a horse from a very young age, even if she always worried that she would break her neck when she saw it!

Therefore, Ellen felt that Scarlett would cry so much, besides not wanting her to be sad, there was another possibility.
