《飘》读后感100字

Gone with the wind is my favorite. Every time I watch it I enjoy it even more. Funny how people call her a spoiled brat and focus mostly on the love interests. This is not a history lesson, nor is it a glorification of the south that was. The book was a better portrait of a woman with amazing survival instinct. Scarlett was a ballsy character with strength and brains to survive in a mans post-war world. Having only majored in flirting, she takes over after the deaths of her parents and friends, and still hangs onto to the homestead to support her relatives and servants. Her tomorrow is another day and doggedness in the face of war and poverty were inspiring to me.
Scarlet lost an amazing man, lost her Mr. Right. She is very capable, kind, stong but stupid in love.

“Miss Melly is dead. You certainly have all the evidence you want to divorce me and you havent enough reputation left for a divorce to hurt you. And you havent any religion left, so the Church wont matter. Then—Ashley and dreams come true with the blessings of Miss Melly.”
“Divorce?” she cried. “No! No! Rhett tonight, when I knew, I ran every step of the way home to tell you. Oh, darling, I—”
“Scarlett,” he said heavily, “I dont want to hear—anything.”
“But you dont know what Im going to say!”
“Darling, Im going to tell you everything,” she said,putting her hands on the arm of his chair and leaning down to him. “Ive been so wrong, such a stupid fool—”
“Scarlett, dont go on with this. Dont be humble before me. I cant bear it. Leave us some dignity, some reticence to remember out of our marriage. Spare us this last.”
“But I will tell you,” she began rapidly, as if fearing his hand upon her mouth, silencing her. “Oh, Rhett, I love you so, darling! I must have loved you for years and I was such a fool I didnt know it. Rhett, you must believe me!”
“Oh, I believe you,” he said at last “But what of Ashley Wilkes?”
“Did it ever occur to you that I loved you as much as a man can love a woman? Loved you for years before I finally got you? I loved you but I couldnt let you know it. Youre so brutal to those who love you, Scarlett. You take their love and hold it over their heads like a whip.”
She sat, hardly breathing, listening, waiting.
“It was so obvious that we were meant for each other. So obvious that I was the only man of your acquaintance who could love you after knowing you as you really are—hard and greedy and unscrupulous, like me. I loved you and I took the chance. I thought Ashley would fade out of your mind. But,”he shrugged, “I tried everything I knew and nothing worked. And I loved you so, Scarlett. If you had only let me, I could have loved you as gently and as tenderly as ever a man loved a woman.”
Suddenly she was sorry for him, sorry with a completeness that wiped out her own grief and her fear of what his words might mean. It was the first time in her life she had been sorry for anyone without feeling contemptuous as well, because it was the first time she had ever approached understanding any other human being.
“Ah, darling,” she said coming forward, hoping he would put out his arms and draw her to his knees. “Darling,Im so sorry but Ill make it all up to you! We can be so happy, now that we know the truth and—Rhett—look at me, Rhett! There—there can be other babies—not like Bonnie but—”

Someone is manipulative and selfish yet still indescribably charming.

She looked up to meet his dark eyes and caught an expression which startled and puzzled her at first, and then made her suddenly smile, a sweet and charming smile which was seldom on her face these days. What a perverse wretch he was, but how nice he could be at times! She knew now that the real reason for his call was not to tease her but to make sure she had gotten the money for which she had been so desperate. 
“Come, Scarlett. tell me everything. You should have no secrets from me. Surely, I know the worst about you.”
“Oh, Rhett. youre the worst—well, I dont know what! No, he didnt exactly fool me but—” Suddenly it became a pleasure to unburden herself.
