In the beginning, I was attracted by the fire and perseverance of Scarlett O'Hara, who so bravely pursued the love and life she wanted, and who always stood firm to meet it head on and never gave up, despite repeated setbacks and the many pressures that relentlessly engulfed her hopes. Melanie Hamilton first appeared to give a very light impression, a gentle and weak traditional woman, innocent and kind, she seems to be a shadow, floating in the Scarlett's surroundings, she changed her mind from the fire started in Atlanta, only after giving birth to a child, she was pale but did not say anything by Rhett Butler held to the broken crate, in the fire in the sky, but in the darkness of the night, she wholeheartedly trusted the Scarlett; In the dilapidated Tara Manor, she was the only one who always supported Scarlett, and when Scarlett was forced to shoot the stragglers who broke into the manor, she stood at the corner of the staircase in a single coat, dragging her heavy saber with a serious brow, as if she were a strong lioness who would fight to the death with any bullies who bullied Scarlett. At the time, Scarlett laughed inwardly at Maelani, and years later, she realized how much the defenseless woman loved her, how much this little sister-in-law and love interest meant to her.
Scarlett and Roseanne seem to stand in two extremes, one as fiery as fire, one like water like tenderness; a spirited, capricious, stubborn, an introspective, easy-going, forgiving, but after repeated readings, but feel that the two women are so imaginative, they are all the same thorned roses, just a bright red, a pure white. They are always courageous and do not shy away from the world's eyes and judgment, they are like pliable weeds, vibrant under the world's wind, rain and snow.
Relative to Scarlett's exposed toughness and tenacity, Melanie's toughness like water without a trace but more powerful, she seems to be God's confidant specially given to Scarlett, between Scarlett and other people built a bridge, she respects the tradition, but is different from those who adhere to the rules of the traditional women, she appreciates Scarlett's wildness and enthusiasm, know clearly that those wildness and enthusiasm symbolizes the power of life, she faithfully followed the traditional women, she is the most important thing to do, she is the most important thing to do.
Scarlett is the only person other than Rhett who really understands Scarlett, and she is the one who understands how valuable Scarlett's life force is, which is as gorgeous as fire.
At any time, no matter where Scarlett, her back is always standing Maelani, in the charity ball Scarlett to dance as a widow when she defended her; in Scarlett's sister refused to do farm work when Maelani dragged the weak body efforts in the fields under the scorching sun; in the surroundings of the people of the Scarlett as a woman but in cold-blooded means of doing business, employing the prisoners to work but acquiesced to foreman When the people around her refused to talk to her when she was a woman but did business in a cold-blooded way by hiring convicts to work but acquiesced to the foreman's deduction of food and wages, Maelani earnestly declared with tears in her eyes that she would not talk to anyone who rejected her little sister-in-law; at the moment when Scarlett and Rhett were discouraged and hated each other because of the accidental and untimely death of Mai-lan, it was she who diluted their pain and despair with her sea-like tolerance and understanding.
Scarlett did not realize that she was quietly changed by Melanie, in the war, Melanie insisted on burying those who died in battle in the South of the Yankees, her stubbornness is no less than Scarlett, she is different from Scarlett is that she has the general tolerance of the abyss, she will not be ridiculed because of the stupidity of those who are the wives of the world, she carefully maintains those of the former graceful and cumbersome traditions, but does not would not succumb to corrupt stereotypes. This seemingly powerless and weak woman, in the moment of food shortage at Tara Manor, resolutely decided to give alms to those from the front line routed down the stray soldiers. Roseanne tolerates Scarlett's contempt for her, she loves the little sister-in-law stronger than a man with all her heart, although Scarlett is selfish, capricious, looking down on others, only money in the eyes of the heart, vulgar taste and show off wealth.
When Rosemary dying moment will be Ashley delivered to Scarlett, this like a wild horse like a steel knife of the woman only to wake up, the original of her side only Rosemary really love themselves, in her most needy time, has always been this she thinks that like a bunny as weak and stupid rivalry accompanied by their own support for their own protection of their own. What would she do without Melanie? It turns out that she is strong because of Rosemary stood firmly behind her, in this world, only Rosemary understand her, appreciate her, tolerate her. In this world, only Meilani really love her.
They are, in essence, resolute women, so they support each other, Melanie is more aware of this than Scarlett, so she has been using all their strength to maintain Scarlett.
Scarlett finally realized that Ashley is just an illusion and fantasy of her own making, it is Roseanne's tolerance to save her stupid adoration, Scarlett had a deep desire to become a mother's expectations of the elegant noblewoman, in fact, Roseanne is the image of what she hoped to become, and she clearly know that she can not be like Roseanne, intoxicated with those with the reality of the livelihood of the unhelpful poems and songs, the so-called ideal of the soul. She knows that she can't indulge in the poetry and songs that don't help her make a living like Melanie.
Scarlett and Melanie are two equally beautiful roses, without Melanie, Scarlett's passionate life seems to be lonely, without Scarlett, Melanie's brave and strong lack of dependence. More than once, Roseanne looked adoringly at Scarlett and said, "Darling, you're so brave, I'm so proud of you! I want to be like you!
When all the love has faded bright colors, the only thing that really belongs to Scarlett is Maelani's heart without the slightest reservation. She believed in Melanie's words that Rhett loved her, and so she stood at Tara Manor, believing that tomorrow would be a new day!
