I MEAN CMON SCARLETT I'D POUR MYSELF OVER RHETT LIKE HOT FIRE
yes she waaaaassss in love with ashley but maybe people back in those days dont rlly care for at-the-time-being lust, they want true love asap. or is it just about scarlett's true obsession that got in the way?
and definitely clark gable was smoking hot

are those in favor.............. agree with my words?
Scarlett's obsession definitely got in the way.
She is such a dominant personality this could have been an unconscious wish to be with someone she could dominate. What she had not yet learned is that you can't respect anyone you can dominate and that there is no love without respect.

You have to understand that Ashley was the only eligible bachelor who didn't fall prey to Scarlett's wiles and charms.
So Scarlett, in her foolish, adolescent mind, convinced herself that Ashley was in love with her.
It was just her willful vanity, that's all.
Yes, Ashley did have a physical desire for Scarlett, but his true, real love was Melanie.
Both Rhett and Melanie were aware of that fact, but narcissistic Scarlett refused to open her eyes to the truth of the matter--until Melanie was dying.
It was then she finally realized that Rhett was her soul mate, but by then it was too late.
Scarlett's infatuation might have been easier to understand had Ashley been played by a younger, more attractive actor.
Leslie Howard was terribly miscast, but that fact has been discussed many times already.
That doesn't exclude my theory and I do agree with you. She liked challenges. She also couldn't imagine there being any man whom she couldn't conquer.

She even believed that she could win Rhett back.
Molly Haskell was right in her book: at the end, Scarlett was "unchanged and unchanging".
By today's standards, and even as far back as 100 years ago, many women preferred 'Rhett' over 'Ashley', but by the standards in which the film was set, 'Rhett' and 'Scarlett' too, was an outcast.
shareHaha. I also think Rhett is far more likable. I really agree that Scarlett is obsessed with Ashley, not in love with him or even really attracted to him. I think it bugs her that he is the only guy not fawning over her.
shareI do like Rhett as well. The way he told off Scarlett at the end was priceless.

Throughout the film, Scarlett keeps being told marrying Ashley would not be a good idea. Her father told her, Mammy told her, even ASHLEY told her!
Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
