Standards of Men and Gone With the Wind

So, watching Gone With the Wind because Charlotte needs to for her Sword of Freedom Class, and I've come to two conclusions.

(1) Scarlett O'Hara is a terrible person. Selfish, manipulative, vindictive and intent on getting what she wants because of the things she cant even try to have.

(2) Clark Gable is a VERY handsome man. The classic kind of handsome, that no matter what the trend of good looks is, his kind of handsome will never go out of style.

This is about as romantic as Romeo and Juliet. I'm surprise that more people don't hold their love to Scarlett and Rhett's example the way they do to the Shakespearean tragedy. Because this is definitely on par with that love disaster.
