Proposed Chapters for April 4
Chapters 37-45
Where am I?
Chapter 37, Scarlett has just married Frank Kennedy, in order to pay the taxes on Tara.
I will be playing major catch-up this week. Other than Scarlett’s attempt to win Rhett over with a green velvet dress from Ellen’s curtains I find this section to be a little difficult to get through. As much as I dislike Scarlett for stealing her sister Suellen’s beau, I have difficulty liking or feeling sympathy for Frank who couldn’t see past Scarlett’s Southern Belle acting. {although the same could be said about Charles} I guess I have always felt that this part was filler between the burning of Atlanta and Scarlett’s marriage to Rhett.
