I really love the part where Mitchell talks about how Scarlett understands how to play men, but doesn't even begin to grasp the inner emotional lives that make them respond the way they do. IIRC, the narrator likens it to viewing other people as akin to mathematical equations (the only subject she ever excelled at in school).

It's an insight that really helps me know how to interpret her character. She has feelings towards others, but at the same time she's inherently incapable of true empathy. I do think Vivien Leigh tries to put that into her performance, but a lot of shading is inevitably lost in the process of adaptation.

Yes! She listens to Old Miss talk about watching her mother die and she has no real sympathy, she's just impatient with the 'looking back' sentimentality and wishes old people didn't talk like that. Oh, Scarlett!
