Thanks, Bramley. The book is very long to read because it's very descriptive.

Thanks, Bramley.

 

i don't agree with the first two character assessments. I feel they will expect those to be adhered to. I see them differently. I'd advisde anyone to read the book and make up their own minds.

 

That sums up the joy of reading any book....to form one's own opinion of the characters and

their interaction. Films and stage productions are based on the director's opinion, which is often

far removed from one's own conception.

And never as vivid as the images in your head.

Unfortunately the Rhett in my head was Clark Gable.

 

When I got hold of a copy of the GWTW book, I could then see Rhett as a figure physically very like Darius.

 

Scarlett describes his dancing, bold, dark eyes, eyes which danced with amusement - I've been on the receiving end of those often enough to know, Darius fits that description to a T.

 

 

And the more you read, the more it's Darius. Maybe that's the reason i enjoyed it so much.

 

I've just re-listened to the videos in Sights, and they did say that Margaret Martin ' CREATED characters who became an integral part of the lives of the main characters of GWTW'.

So there will be cast members whose names we do not recognise from the book.

Are you referring to the first time Aldo Scrofani speaks in the Rhett Butler video, Bramley?

 

What he actually says has always confused me because it never made sense to me BUT he doesn't say Margaret Martin, he says Margaret Mitchell, the authoress of Gone With The Wind.

I think that Margaret Martin has used people like paul Williams and Prophet as characters to take the narrative forward. They only exist as names in the book. It allows her to pass more information on and keep the show very active and not bogged down in detail.

that makes sense Meg....they did say it would be narrated and there isn't a narrator

 

 

From what I remember of Nicholas Nickleby, there wasn't a named narrator. Ithink even Nicholas himself did it occasionally.

 

Sorry, Baytree is right. I find it confusing, Margaret Mitchell and Margaret Martin. Must listen more carefully!

Me too.

 

As I say, I don't get what Aldo Scrofani is trying to say there. I'm sure it's not what came out of his mouth. I must go back and read it again.

I can't get the videos to play on the GWTW homesite, but they play on the GWTW Facebook site.

I'm playing the Rhett one as I type. Maybe your ISP was just busy.

You are ahead of me B.T. What is ISP?

Internet Service Provider - I'm with Orange.

 

I'm with Pipex now I know what we are talking about.

The videos work fine now that I have upgraded the flash player.

There you are then. All you needed was an updated Flash player. I enjoyed Flash Gorden - is he related?
