I was introduced to Scarlett (of Gone With The Wind) from another classic I read over 30 years ago. In an introductory notes, Scarlett was compared to Tess (in Tess of D'Urbervilles). I recentky read GWTW for the first time & it is a great novel - I like it just the way it is. I even read the sequel (not as great) to GWTW. Well I'm a Nigerian & know not much about your America & their ways. π
Thanks for the insightful revision points - helped to refresh my memory.
