I think she wanted him because he was unattainable, and she was used to getting everything she wanted. I think that if she got him, she would eventually despise him for what she would see as his weaknesses, and it would happen sooner rather than later.

To throw advice from another fandom into the mix, as Spock said to Stonn: "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true. "

"I think that if she got him, she would eventually despise him for what she would see as his weaknesses, and it would happen sooner rather than later."

I think, in the book anyway, Scarlett came to that very revelation. I think it was when Melly died and Ashley latched onto Scarlett to handle everything, and she realized that was how Ashley would always act in a crisis. Granted I only read the book once, a long time ago, but wasn't that what made her realize Rhett really was the man for her?

I think that was also in the movie. It's been a long time since I read the book, but I definitely recall that in the movie, when Melanie is dying. Which, slightly OT, but Melanie and Scarlett saying goodbye to each other always made me cry buckets. Scarlett was always oblivious to how much she loved someone until they were leaving her.

That's exactly what happened. She realized that he was stuck in the past, always dreaming about and wishing for the days gone by, and would never move forward, and never be in tune with the present day.

She also realized he was just a kind of ideal, that she'd built up in her head, and that she didn't really love him, she actually loved Rhett.

I was always so angry that it took her that long to figure it out.
