Romanticizing The South In Margaret Mitchell's Gone With The Wind
Authors : Mokhtari Walid . Moulfi Leila .
Abstract
After the South was vanquished in the American Civil War (1861-1865), Southerners could not help live with defeat and its consequences. The South as a region has long been different than the North of the United States, and such a difference brought forth throughout the years, the war and its destruction. After Reconstruction, many Southerners believed that they have to fight again, but this time not with weapons and ammunitions, but with pens and belle letters. Margaret Mitchell, the well-known writer did just that with her work, Gone With the Wind (1936) which became an embodiment of the Southern Civil War novel for at least five decades since its publication. The novel glorifies the Old South, in that focusing on the Southern cavalier, the Southern aristocratic lifestyles, and the feeling of nostalgia to the past.
