In Gone with the Wind, there are several representatives of Southern Gentlemen, like O’Hara, the lord of the manor and the father of Scarlett, Ashley, as a second manor generation, and the second husband of Scarlett, Frank。 They are all recognized as Southern Gentlemen by the society。 But another typical Southern Gentleman has scarcely been well-acknowledged, whose name is Rhett, the main hero in this novel。 Rhett is uninhibited, but his character traits have a certain complexity, with a rogue mask and a gentleman character in heart, on behalf of a unity of opposites as the Southern Gentleman, which makes it difficult to tell what kind of person he is。
