What makes Butler unforgettable for readers is his unsettling moral ambiguity, which Clark Gable brilliantly communicated from the screen in the movie version of Mitchell's work. Her clever choice of Butler's wartime calling aggravates the unease with which readers contemplate Butler, for the author made him a blockade runner. As hard as Butler is to figure out-a true scoundrel or simply a great pretender?-so is it hard to morally or historically pigeonhole the blockade running captains of the Confederacy.

(collectively, “AVELA”) appeal a permanent injunction prohibiting them from licensing certain images extracted from publicity materials for the films Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, as well as several animated short films featuring the cat- and-mouse duo “Tom & Jerry.” The district court issued the permanent injunction after granting summary judgment in favor of Warner Bros.

  • Business Ethos and Gender in Margaret Mitchell's Gone with The
    Business Ethos and Gender in Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind Krisztina Lajterné Kovács University of Debrecen [email protected] Abstract After the American Civil War, in the Southern agricultural states the rise of capitalist culture and the emergence of a peculiar business ethos in the wake of Reconstruction did not take place without conflicts. Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind dramatizes the outsets of these economic changes which were intertwined with gender aspects, all the more so, since the antebellum Southern system was built on the ideology of radical sexual differences. Scarlett O’Hara emerges as a successful businesswoman whose career mirrors the development of Atlanta to an industrial center. This aspect of the novel, however, is mostly silenced or marginalized in criticism. Now, with the help of the economic and social theories of Max Weber, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Jessica Benjamin, I am reading business and financial success in terms of rationality, irrationality, masculinity, femininity, and violence versus aggressiveness to sketch a portrait of a businessman. Keywords: Gender, Economics, Binary Oppositions, Separate Spheres “If [ Gone with the Wind ] is indeed propaganda, it is not for a return to plantation life and economy, but for the very marketplace, laissez-faire ethic which made Margaret Mitchell so popular” (Adams 59). This comment by Amanda Adams highlights the curious fact that the story of Scarlett O’Hara as she is becoming a successful business(wo)man in Atlanta, which indeed constitutes the

  • Open Tiffany Wesner Thesis Final
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DIVISION OF HUMANITIES, ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES GONE WITH THE WIND AND ITS ENDURING APPEAL TIFFANY WESNER SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Baccalaureate Degree in American Studies with honors in American Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Raymond Allan Mazurek Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Sandy Feinstein Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The white antebellum woman has occupied an evolving archetypal status in American culture throughout the twentieth century. In 1936, Margaret Mitchell published Gone with the Wind and extended the tradition of featuring Southern belles in novels. However, Mitchell chose to alter stereotypical depictions of her heroine and incorporate a theme of survival. Her main character, Scarlett O'Hara, was a prototypical Southern woman of her day. Scarlett was expected to conform to rigidly defined social boundaries but, through acts of defiance and independence, she forged new paths for herself and her family along her route to survival. This thesis investigates the 1939 film adaptation of Mitchell's novel and the contributions of David O. Selznick, Vivien Leigh, and Hattie McDaniel to the story that chronicled Scarlett's transformation from stereotypical Southern belle to independent survivor. This analysis demonstrates that Scarlett depicted the new Southern Woman whose rising to define a diversity of roles embodied the characteristics of the New Woman. The film’s feminist message, romantic grandeur, ground-breaking performances, themes of survival through times of crisis, and opulent feminine appeal all combined in Gone With the Wind to create an American classic with enduring appeal.

BRENT What do we care if we were expelled from college, Scarlett. The war is going to start any day now so we would have left college anyhow. STEW Oh, isn't it exciting, Scarlett? You know those poor Yankees actually want a war? BRENT We'll show 'em. SCARLETT Fiddle-dee-dee. War, war, war. This war talk is spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn't going to be any war. BRENT Not going to be any war? STEW Ah, buddy, of course there's going to be a war. SCARLETT If either of you boys says "war" just once again, I'll go in the house and slam the door. BRENT But Scarlett honey.. STEW Don't you want us to have a war? BRENT Wait a minute, Scarlett...

Gone with the Wind and the Myth of the Lost Cause An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Literature. By Caitlin M. Hall Under the mentorship of Joe Pellegrino ABSTRACT Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind is usually considered a sympathetic portrayal of the suffering and deprivation endured by Southerners during the Civil War. I argue the opposite, that Mitchell is subverting the Southern Myth of the Lost Cause, exposing it as hollow and ultimately self-defeating.

Variously, it could be (and R is) defined as a p rejudice of dislike/disdain/distrust against a person of a particular race, because of his race and not the person, himself. Or it is reckoned to be manifested in one person's dislike/disdain/distrust of another person even though the object - person's race is not a contributing factor to the supposed - bigot's view. Alternatively, it could be discerned in the words of a person who is making a sweeping statement attributing to a race of people a defining or frequently - observed characteristic (even if positive ). Or, an accusation of racism need not, perhaps, be justified at all; it is merely the 'gotcha' word that wins an argument by default. For if the speaker is successfully maligned, his argument will be dismissed out of hand. Gone With The Wind is di smissed by many critics as a racist film, and therefore, unworthy of discussion. Given that neither blacks, slavery, nor emancipation are a central focus of the film, it is difficult to describe the entire production as racist. However, the film may very well betray racist tendencies in how it handles — or ignores — black characters.
