Blog Post 5 Gone With The Wind

I never saw the movie Gone With the Wind until this class. I had always heard great things about it. I know its a classic and i was excited to finally watch it. To my surprise, I was kind of dissapointed in it.  I didnt really know what the movie was about prior to watching it but I expected it to be completely different then it was. When everyone started dying one by one i felt like I was watching sothing from shakespear because he is known to do that in his scripts. I am not saying that I hated the movie, It was interesting to watch and kept me engaged. The whole movie, I was confused with the whole marrying his cousin thing. I dont understand why that happened in the first place. Was that ok to do back then because no one seemed to care? 
I tried finding an article that got into that more but I couldnt find one. 

The article that I found talks about how the media portrays different prospectives on race in a white society during civil rights. It talks about the different faces that scarlett has and how each face she has connects with the prospectives of blacks and whites.
