Gone With The Wind #1

I am reading Gone with the Wind, and in the beginning of the book I didn't understand, but as I read further on I started to like it even more. When it got to the part of the barbecue, thats the scene that caught my interest. That is where Scarlett told Ashely that she loves him. I thought that was really selfish of her because she knew that Ashley was going to propose to Melanie. For Scarlett to say that to Ashley now, its just wrong. She should have told him how she felt a long time ago. I read anothehar book called The Boleyn Inheritance and Scarlett reminds me of a young girl named Katherine. Scarlett and Katherine are young and too flirtatious for there own good. Also both of them can have any man they desire. In Gone with the Wind I am up to the part with the war and when Scarlett was reading Ashley's letters that he sent to Melanie. It was really rude of her that all she can think about was the letters weren't love letters. Just because they weren't she thought maybe I still have a chance with Ashley, he still loves me and want to marry me. I hope soon she will get over him and just accept the fact that Ashley is with Melanie. I mean she is so in love with him she waits for everyone to leave the house, so she can sneak in Melanie's room and read her private letters. Its not that I don't like Scarlett as a character she just needs to let things go.
