 Gentility and Gender in Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Scarlett and Melanie, Mitchell's two main female characters, are polar opposites: Melanie is a lady, Scarlett is not; Melanie is traditionally feminine, while Scarlett adheres to a traditionally masculine way of thinking and acting.
Scarlett, though cast out by everyone else, is treated by Melanie with "love and outspoken trust" when suspected of having an affair with Ashley; Melanie believes Ashley and Scarlett love each other only as brother and sister, to the contrary of what she has been told (853).
This manner, this grasping of traditions, is still excusable in Melanie, as she is, after all, a woman, and made strong through the "inner grace" she possesses as a woman.

 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).
The novel's racial attitudes were softened—offensive language and references to the Ku Klux Klan were removed, and the sexual overtones of the attack on Scarlett in the freedmen's settlement were deleted.
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.

Melanie gives birth to Ashley's child on the day the city falls to the Yankees, but of course Rhett shows up in time to save the day.
