How odd that you would post this thread. A day before you posted there appeared a blog post on Daughter of Ayn (http://daughterofayn.com/ayn-would-have-loved-scarlet-ohara/) which suggests similarities. Before that, I had never read ANY comparisons of Gone With the Wind to Ayn Rand. That post, at the bottom, also notes the rape and roughness similarities. It also compares Rhett to Wynand and Scarlett to Ayn's heroines. How odd that two people would consider this within a day of one another.
