In "Gone with the Wind", Rhett Butler and Scarlett are the most eye-catching couple, and also the most controversial couple. They are so similar in terms of personality and attitude, so they have known each other since they got to know each other. From the day Scarlett met, Rhett Butler could see keenly that she was the same kind as himself. Therefore, he never hides his appreciation for her.
Before meeting Rhett Butler, Scarlett once said in a chat with someone: "Aunt Jinxi once told me my fortune, saying that I would marry a man with black hair and a long black beard."
Rhett Butler happens to be such an image.
The first time they met was at a party. At that time, she found him standing alone in the hall, staring at her with an indifferent and not very polite look, which made her feel very complicated. , On the one hand, I was proud that I could arouse his interest, but on the other hand, I felt that his eyes were very rude.
Soon, while chatting with others, she learned that he was a man with a very bad reputation because he once stayed out all night with a girl, although he later explained that the two of them did not have sex that night. What happened, but the girl's brother asked him to marry his sister because he had ruined his sister's reputation, but he refused because he thought she was a fool, so the girl's brother insisted She fought with him to determine the outcome. During the fight, her brother was hit by him and died. After that, no one liked to get too close to him.
After learning the news, Scarlett secretly admired him because he refused to marry a stupid woman.
When Scarlett confessed to Ashley but was rejected, the conversation between the two happened to be heard by Rhett Butler who was resting on the sofa. Rhett Butler joked: "Eavesdroppers often hear some very beautiful things. And something useful."
Scarlett scolded him for not being a superior person.
Rhett Butler retaliates: "You are not a classy woman either. No matter who she is, as long as she says and does the things I just heard, she can no longer be considered a classy woman." , "But high-class women are rarely attractive to me, and you, you are a young girl with an extraordinary spirit and worthy of admiration, so I have to take off my hat to you."
This was their first confrontation, and Rhett Butler was so angry that Scarlett slammed the door out. She had never seen anyone dare to talk to her like this before, so she instinctively became somewhat interested in this man.
Later, she got married several times for various reasons, and each time ended in disgrace. During this period, Rhett Butler was always by her side, quarreling with her while patiently waiting for her to fall in love with him.
However, she never showed any love for him, even when she borrowed money from him to keep Tara during the war, she never said a word about liking him.
Naturally, Rhett Butler did not lend her money. In his original words, the reason was: "When I found out that what you needed was my money instead of me, a charming person, I was disappointed and disappointed. The pain tore my feelings apart."
Of course, another reason was that he was in jail at the time and had no way of getting money to give her.
So, in order to get money to keep Tara, Scarlett once again married an old man she didn't love at all - Frank Kennedy, because this man owned a store and had cash.
In this way, Tara was saved, but Frank Kennedy contracted influenza two weeks after the marriage, and his sawmill had to be managed by Scarlett.
The sawmill quickly became famous under Scarlett's management, but at that time there was no woman like her who was doing business in the public eye, so the outside world continued to gossip about her.
But after being released from prison, Rhett Butler admired her approach very much and was the only one who was willing to listen attentively to her talk about how to run a business. This made her unconsciously look forward to his visit, because and Every conversation he has is a kind of fun and challenge for her, a little spice in her boring married life.
In fact, Scarlett had already fallen in love with him at that time, but her emotional intelligence was really not high, and she was a relatively rough person emotionally, so she didn't realize it.
It is also possible that she is vaguely aware of it, but is just unwilling to admit it or think about it deeply.
Later, Frank Kennedy was shot and killed by the rebels, and Scarlett became a widow again. This time Rhett Butler did not wait any longer, but immediately proposed to Scarlett.
Scarlett was puzzled, so Rhett Butler explained: "I have always wanted you. Ever since I saw you smashing vases and cursing in Twelve Oaks Village the first day, I felt that you were not a classy woman." , I just want you. I can't wait for you all my life, I hope to get you when you change your husband."
This time Scarlett finally agreed.
After their marriage, Rhett Butler personally bought her all kinds of beautiful clothes and built her a beautiful house, making her the envy and jealousy of the locals.
And he encouraged her to say whatever she wanted, without restraint.
Therefore, after her marriage, she spent every day in beautiful clothes and banquets full of guests. When she was tired from dancing and lay in Rhett Butler's arms in a daze, she would always feel... She unconsciously thought of Ashley, imagining how great it would be if Ashley was the one holding her arms at this moment.
Whenever she does this, Rhett Butler will get up and run away from home in anger, and will not come back until the next day. But every time he came back, Scarlett never took the initiative to greet him or apologize to him, which made him feel deeply disappointed.
His wife is actually like a child, not good at taking care of and comforting her husband's emotions.
But whenever she had those dreams about war and hunger, Rhett Butler would hold her tightly in his arms, comfort her with gentle words, and said: "I will definitely make you live a stable life." Life."
Later, they had a child, a beautiful girl, and they named her Bonnie.
Rhett Butler doted on Bonnie. Not only did he often accompany her, he also bought her a horse and tried every means to correct her night crying syndrome.
Scarlett had never seen a man doting on his children so much, so she couldn’t stand it. What she didn’t know was—— Rhett Butler knew that he couldn’t get Scarlett’s heart, so he This love for her was transferred to their children.
Later, Bonnie unfortunately fell off the horse while riding and died. This incident brought a great blow to Rhett Butler and Scarlett, especially Rhett Butler, as if the sky was falling. Since then, he has become much more depressed than before.
And Scarlett refused to have any more children, which made Rhett Butler feel even more disappointed and helpless, but due to the man's dignity and respect for her, he did not force her.
It’s just that the relationship between the two became a little subtle, and Scarlett didn’t care about his feelings, often talked back to him, and said some willful words that made him feel sad and disappointed. From time to time, the drama of the Cold War was staged.
When Melanie died in childbirth, Scarlett realized that Ashley and Melanie were the most suitable couple. She and Ashley were not the same kind of people at all, so she also I gave up my obsession with Ashley.
At the same time, Scarlett suddenly realized that Rhett Butler was the person who loved her most and was the most suitable for her.
She finally understood that she had been relying on Rhett Butler's love for her for so many years, but she took this love for granted. Not only did she not show any cherishment, but she also relied on it many times Doing whatever he wants will undoubtedly hurt his heart.
Now she finally sees clearly, she knows that she has always loved him, but because of her lack of appreciation, the relationship has been torn into pieces, and she has to quickly find a way to repair it.
So she immediately went to see Rhett Butler to confess and repent to him, but Rhett Butler, who was already frustrated with this relationship, said: "I ran out after quarreling with you that night, and the next morning Even if you came out to greet me when you came back and showed me a little, I thought I would kneel down and kiss your feet, but you didn't do that."
"It was my fault that you got sick that time. , I stood at the door of your room, hoping you would call me, but you didn't, so I felt stupid.
"
" The reason I love our child Bonnie so much is because she is different from you - she loves me. So I am very happy to be able to give her the love you don't want. "
Rhett Butler continued with a bit of self-deprecation: "Scarlett, I am forty-five years old. When a person reaches this age, he should start to cherish those things that he easily abandoned when he was young, such as family. Harmony, reputation and stability, deep roots, etc. I am too old to carry the burden of lies and live in disillusionment with semblance of respectability. ”
This is what Rhett Butler said to Scarlett before he left. From it we can see that his disillusionment with Scarlett’s love was the main reason for his decision to leave. At the same time, He also found that his own thoughts had changed from when he was young. Now he began to pay attention to things that he did not pay attention to before, such as family and reputation, so he longed for a gentle and considerate wife, a good reputation and a stable and harmonious family. .
The reason why Scarlett and he have reached this point is that their thoughts are not on the same wavelength. Scarlett still looks like him when he was young, but he began to long for someone who could look like him. Melanie, a gentle and considerate wife, longs for the warmth of having several children around her.
These are exactly the things that Scarlett does not have, at least at this stage, she does not have it and often does. Going the other way made Rhett Butler, who had been patiently waiting for her for many years, lose the confidence to continue waiting, so he decided to leave.
How many people's marriages begin with mutual appreciation, but then end up with each other. In the following years, the marriage became disintegrated due to increasingly inconsistent thoughts. This is something worth pondering.
In the sequel, Scarlett and Rhett Butler got back together, but that is another story. Written by one author does not represent the original author's intention.
If we analyze "Gone with the Wind" carefully, we may understand that the chance of Rhett Butler and Scarlett finally getting back together is relatively low.
With Rhett Butler's wisdom and knowledge, he must have thought carefully before making the choice to leave. He knew that a woman with a lack of emotional intelligence like Scarlett might not be able to deal with Rhett Butler even if she was given another thirty years. Love gives appropriate feedback and gives him the tenderness and consideration he wants, so he is not willing to waste it like this anymore
