This passage deeply reveals the conflict between Scarlett's fantasy and reality about love. 3. The cruelty of war and the changes in life "The past is past. The dead will never come back.

I want to marry you to protect you, let you be free everywhere, and be satisfied with everything - just like I did to Melanie later. Because you have been through a struggle, Scarlett. No one knows better than me what kind of suffering you have suffered, so I hope you can stop fighting and let me fight for you." "Looking at Will in the dimly lit corridor, Ashley thought, Will would never understand Scarlett O'Hara's feat: she wore a dress made from her mother's velvet curtains and inserted rooster tail feathers to conquer the world." 16-18.
