[Opinions] Re: Melanie?
in reply to a message by Lily
I have to admit, the existence of Melanie Griffith totally slipped my mind, and, yes, I can see her as trashy. So that could explain it. It's a shame, though, that a celebrity can ruin the image of a name.
My husband never read GWTW, only saw the movie, and only at my insistence. I can remember that during the movie, he snorted in disbelief and disgust during the childbirth scene, when Melanie says something along the lines of "Oh, Scarlett, I'm sorry to be so much trouble to you. You'd be home with your mother if it weren't for me" and this while she's in the throes of labor. And on the way home, he said she was too much of a goody-goody. So you're not the only one! This has gotten OT, but I kind of like when that happens. :-D

I always thought Melanie in GWTW was annoying. It seemed like she was deliberately written that way to me!
Melanie Wilkes from GWTW is why I made this post so it's not too far off topic, haha. I'm currently reading the book, but I'm only halfway through so no spoilers please!
