Blog with the Wind - Day 3 of 5

"Gone With the Wind" features the paradigm of matriarchal virtues in Scarlett's mother, Ellen O'Hara.

Mrs. O'Hara moves through the novel with a graceful deftness attributed to her character. She is kind, charitable, and treats every other character as an equal - even her slaves - based on her view that all humans are equal in God's eyes.

Today's quote is about the providencial Mrs. O'Hara:

"Her mother was the embodiment of justice, truth, loving tenderness and profound wisdom - a great lady."

Guess what I'm writing in Mama Morgan's Mother's Day card this year? It's hard to understand why the producers cut this fantastic quote out of the film.

If you're ever looking for a new compliment to bestow to a woman in your life, try taking a bit of beautiful vocab about Mrs. O'Hara.
