I think if I'd read the book instead I would have had a greater feeling of emotion toward Melly. @Auntie I remember seeing the movie as a teenager and being completely enamored with Scarlett.

It was good for me (being quite naive) to see someone like Scarlett and someone like Melly. To know that there are people like both of them, and desire to be like Melly with love and honesty and compassion and strength no matter what. I read this when I was in high school.

I know I missed much of it by rushing through some parts because I wanted some answers more quickly. I also want to see the movie again! @Courtney The setting/society was fascinating! After I've had several hours now to kind of digest the book, I really find myself loving the character of Melly so very much. She was such a lady through the entire story and her character had such incredible depth to it. I can appreciate Scarlett, but love Melly the most. @Lisa I plan making room on my “yearly re-reads” shelf for this.

I had a difficult time getting behind Scarlett in the book, because she was so awful at points, but the resolution is oddly satisfying all the same. And the setting! The setting/society was so much more the draw for me. I know what you mean!
