About Rhett Butler
If the name Rhett Butler does not conjure up an image in your mind then you need to rent the film Gone with the Wind! Gone with the Wind was first created as a book by Margaret Mitchell. The book is based on the Civil War in the south, and how it changed one southern belles life, as well as her friends and family. Rhett Butler is one character from the book, and essential character that needed to be in the movie. At first Rhett Butler seems like no gentlemen to title character {Scarlett O’Hara}, but eventually she falls in love with this dashing man. Rhett Butler was played by the great Clark Gable in the 1939 film. He truly gave the character the real characterization needed to make a great film. Though others have tried to play Rhett Butler they do not hold a candle to Clark Gable opposite Vivian Leigh. Rhett Butler was always enamored of Scarlett O’Hara and goaded her into marriage. He was a disowned member of his family, didn’t want to join in the fight and always a gambler. However, he eventually entered into the war and wins Scarlett’s hand. They have one child together, another lost in miscarriage in the book and movie. The first child Bonnie dies in a tragic accident.
