Detailed explanation-1: -In Gone with the Wind, Mitchell writes about slavery from the perspective of Southern plantation owners. She depicts house slaves like Mammy and Pork as devoted and loving servants whom the whites treat like family. In the novel, all masters treat all slaves well.
Detailed explanation-2: -ABSTRACT Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind is usually considered a sympathetic portrayal of the suffering and deprivation endured by Southerners during the Civil War. I argue the opposite, that Mitchell is subverting the Southern Myth of the Lost Cause, exposing it as hollow and ultimately self-defeating.
Detailed explanation-3: -Margaret Mitchell wrote, “If Gone With the Wind has a theme it is that of survival. What makes some people come through catastrophes and others, apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under? It happens in every upheaval. Some people survive; others don’t.
Detailed explanation-4: -Self-reliance As the Key to Success The characters in Gone With the Wind are most successful when they depend on no one but themselves. Scarlett refuses to listen to other people’s opinions and builds a successful business relying only on her own judgment and skills.
