Why I chose this subject?

I began working on this topic because I was interested indiscovering different conceptions of thinking concerning

peoples way of life in the nineteenth century.

Reading Margaret Mitchells novel, Gone With the Wind, Idiscovered a world dominated by strong values, a world which

glorifies the independence of a nation.

In the next chapters I want to show some aspects that reallymatter to people who face up with social inequalities.

The book, in fact, ends with a weary but optimistic plan

for the future: Scarlett has lost Rhett, who she now

knows is her only love: With the spirit of her people

who would not know defeat, even when it stared them in

the face, she raised her chin. She could get Rhett back.

She knew she could. There had never been a man she

couldnt get, once she set her mind upon him,but she

has the strength and faith in the future to enable her tosay: Ill think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it

then. Tomorrow, Ill think of some way to get him back.

After all, tomorrow is another day.

PRCIS

In her novel, Margaret Mitchell managed to create a

world seen by different points of view. She showed that

a culture can be transformed and people can suffer the

consequences. Mitchell also emphasized the womens

role in a society dominated by men.

In my opinion, Mitchells novel is a huge step towards

societys emancipation being at the same time a symbol

of womens fight to find their place in a world

dominated by strong values concerning their role insociety.
