I think Scarlett is a good role model

I agree that she was a strong character, but as far as being a witch, I don't think so. I think her strong personality was out of the norm and that was way she was protrayed as being manipulative and strong.

You have to remember that she broke the mold of what a woman should have been during those times. In today's world, I think that she would fit right in.

However, there is a part of me that did feel sorry for her. Her manipulation of people was her ulimate downfall. She faught for someone that did not share her effection and in the end she lost someone she loved because of her obsession with somoene else.

I think that this film was an eye opener for woman to not play the games with other people and their emotions. It does show a strong person that would do anything to survive, yes, but in the end what did she really gain???

I think that she was a strong charcter that character is what kept those around her alive when she was needed, but just when the world calmed down she reverted back to using her womanly charms to blind side people and use them.

I felt sorry for her because I don't think she really knew what love was, she was just a woman that wanted her own way and she didn't realize or cared who she used to get it. Yes, she would have fit nicely in today's world. I see more and more charcters like her everyday.

Scarlett is written as a very strong woman, that's for sure. But a good role model? I don't think so. Her intentions are almost always completely selfish, and her methods are often immoral and sometimes illegal. NOT someone I would want to emulate, or want my daughters to emulate. I'd rather we just read about her or watch her in the movie, and learn from her actions.
