		Ashley does not prosper in this novel; his good manners and gentlemanly pride become cowardice and lead him into imprisonment, poverty, and dependence upon women: his wife for strength and Scarlett for subsistence.
		Ashley and Melanie, related by blood and alike in temperament, are meant for one another, alike because of their socially-accepted good manners.
		Ashley's long attraction to Scarlett is just as simple: he loves her as a sister for their long friendship, and Scarlett notes that he "only wanted me like - like Rhett wants that Watling woman!" (1002).

	Assassination of Ashley Wilkes - Professor Wilkes - University of Georgia School of Law
		When we think of Ashley Wilkes, Margaret Mitchell's quintessential antebellum Southern gentleman, we instinctively visualize Leslie Howard, the gifted, exquisitely sensitive English actor who played the character so memorably in the classic 1939 motion picture Gone With the Wind.
		Leslie Howard was a great motion picture actor with a wistful face and a haunting, silvery voice; he was also a great stage actor, an author of belle-lettres, a radio broadcaster, and a movie director and producer.
		As an actor he specialized in playing idealists (such as Ashley Wilkes) and heroic men of action (such as the Scarlet Pimpernel).

		Ignoring all the talk that Ashley is all but engaged to Melanie Wilkes, Scarlett decides to make certain Ashley knows her feelings and chooses his family's annual barbeque to tell him.
		Ashley declines her feelings in a totally ambiguous way and leaves her to throw her temper tantrum in the library where Rhett Butler is resting.
		Rhett Butler, by now considered a hero amongst the townspeople for being a blockade runner and smuggler, manages to keep in touch with Scarlett even though he is aware of her feelings for Ashley Wilkes.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Gone With the Wind (Film)
		The 1939 adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel, produced by David O. Selznick, featured such well-known actors as Clark Gable (Rhett Butler), Olivia de Havilland (Melanie Wilkes), and Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes), and made a star of actress Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara).
		Leslie Howard was embarrassed by the Ashley Wilkes role.
		Such events as the start of the war, Gettysburg, the siege of Atlanta, Sherman's march through Georgia, and Reconstruction provide a historical background for the main focus—Scarlett O'Hara, her unrequited love for Ashley Wilkes, and her marriages, especially her turbulent relationship with her third husband, Rhett Butler.

		As she ascends the staircase, Scarlett asks one of her girlfriends, Cathleen Calvert (Marcella Martin) to identify the "nasty dark one" [dark-haired and devilish-looking] that is standing alone at the foot of the staircase.
		Ashley thinks he loves Scarlett, but he is extremely wimpish and inadequate in contrast to her harsher, more ruthless qualities.

	Lance Mannion: The Klansman and the self-pity of Ashley Wilkes, Part One
		Even the one main character who misses the Old South, Ashley Wilkes, seems to hate himself for not being able to adapt and move on more than he longs for a return of the way life used to be.
		When you get down to it, Ashley is the only character who thinks about politics and when he does he is mostly highly critical of his own.
		I also seem to recall from reading the book that Ashley wasn't so hot on the war, but wasn't as vocal about it as Rhett, and went out of class/local loyalty more that ideology, which was stupid, but, hey, GWTW was only ever meant to be entertaining.

		Ashley Wilkes was not a wimp at all.
		I never thought of Ashley as a wimp either, but more as a man who let chivalry and gallantry and gentelmanly behavior get in the way of what he really wanted.
		Gore is like Ashley Wilkes to me, I've decided, because he is a decent man, but too romantic, honest and principled to survive the harsh realities of life when it counts.

		Ashley sits home too many weekends and is thoroughly tired of the second-tier activities her singles group plans (from chain-restaurant lunches to geek-movie viewings).
		However, Ashley and Company are not allegorical characters a la Bunyan, and sometimes their characters could use a little more old-fashioned development in order to be seen as full, modern human beings, and not simply caricatures of early millennium born-agains.
		Ashley and Brea's conversation after the latter's miscarriage made me wonder if Billerbeck had ever spoken to a woman who has experienced pregnancy loss.

		Another choice for Ashley was Ray Milland, who was attractively weak but too beefy to play the role, and his accent was wrong.

		When she finds out that Ashley plans to wed his cousin, Melanie Hamilton (Olivia de Havilland), she sneaks down during the afternoon nap period for the women, and pleads with Ashley in the library, to marry her instead.
		When Ashley and Melanie announce their wedding plans for the next day, Scarlett also agrees to marry Charles Hamilton, when he asks her, not because she loved Charles, but because Charles was Melanie's brother, which means she could keep in contact with Ashley through the family connection.
		Leslie Howard was convincing as the mild-mannered Ashley, who lacked the nerve and guts to tell Scarlett from the beginning that he didn't love her, which would've saved a lot of grief and pain to others.

	ASHLEY \| Baby Names \| AOL Parenting
		Now the number one girls' name, or close to it, in most states, Ashley is a name that seems to have been propelled to popularity to a great degree by a soap opera character: the beautiful, ambitious Ashley Abbott, who debuted on The Young and the Restless in 1982.
		Its ambisexual image was undoubtedly one factor that attracted droves of parents to Ashley, though the name very quickly became almost exclusively feminine, and does indeed have a sound that is soft and pretty, certainly another ingredient in its success.
		But unless Ashley is the name you love far above all others, or you like the idea of giving your child an extremely popular name, we advise you to steer clear of this choice from now on.
