  "As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when information technology's all over, I'll never be hungry once more. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill. Equally God is my witness, I'll never exist hungry again!"

• Scarlett waltzing delicately into prison house, wearing the finest apparel e'er seen in the South, despite being a few years out of fashion, and despite the fact that she barely has money to buy nutrient. The fabric of the wearing apparel looks very much like the late defunction at Tara...
• Scarlett shooting the Yankee soldier right between the eyes. No one invades Tara when Scarlett is there.
  • Melanie, who has risen from her sickbed and is holding a sword she can barely elevator, sees the dead Yankee and says, "You killed him!... I'm glad you killed him."

• The impromptu ruse Rhett thinks up to make the Yankees recall the gentlemen of Atlanta were not involved in the Shantytown raid. Especially awesome is how well Melly plays along.

• Mammy revealing she understands that Scarlett plans on stealing Frank Kennedy from Suellen in society to get the money for the taxes on Tara - and giving Scarlett her total back up.
• "Bluntly, my dear, I don't give a damn." Now that's a line worth waiting 4 hours for.
  • A bit of context: afterwards years upon years of having her own manner and essentially stepping on people, Scarlett finally gets told off. The line is Rhett cementing that, no matter what she tries, Scarlett cannot win this one.
• "All we got is Cotton, Slaves, and Arrogance!" speech. Rhett manages to debunk the inflated fantasies of a roomful of Southern Gentlemen who are convinced they will defeat the Yankees by pointing out that the Northward have a fully equipped Navy and Army along with factories that tin can make weapons with a swell sense of at-home and dignity.
  • Ashley declares he will fight for the South only it's a sad, sad thing if things aren't even attempted to exist resolved peacefully while warding off any criticisms of his more hot-blooded peers and gently telling Charles that there is no manner he'd win in a fight with Rhett when the latter was defendant of cowardice.
• The ending. As Scarlett breaks downwardly afterward saying farewell to a dying Melanie and declining to end Rhett from leaving, she remembers her father's words about Tara. And just every bit she did before, she gathers her strength and swears to return to Tara and find a way to get Rhett back. Subsequently all the tragedy she's been through in the past twelvemonth, Scarlett refuses to be brought downward by it.

  Scarlett: Tomorrow is another day!

If anyone merely Melanie had washed so, they would take been fabricated just as much an outcast as Scarlett; but as things go, Melanie's unyielding defense force of her friend sparks a miniature civil war in the boondocks. Her spoken language is well-nigh plenty to make the reader believe that Scarlett is a good person.
