Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell | Epic Civil War Romance, Pride & Survival | Classic Audiobook Part 1

★★★☆☆ (3.5 / 5 Stars)

Gone with the Wind, written by Margaret Mitchell, is a sweeping epic of love, loss, and endurance set against the collapse of the Old South during the American Civil War. Through the fiercely willful character of Scarlett O’Hara, the novel explores human pride, moral blindness, perseverance, and the cost of survival divorced from virtue. While the book reflects the cultural limitations and romanticized assumptions of its time, it nevertheless offers a powerful meditation on suffering, disordered attachments, and the illusion of self-sufficiency. For Catholic listeners, the novel is best approached as a moral tragedy—one that reveals the consequences of pride, the fragility of earthly security, and the necessity of humility and rightly ordered love.
