Name 100 Gone With the Wind Characters

This is the novel rather than the movie, so there’s a lot more to play with. The sequel, Scarlett, never existed and as such no character unique to it may be included, though characters referenced in GWTW but not actually portrayed (such as Ellen’s cousin/lover Philippe, for example) can be included.

We’ll do one at a time, but I am gonna start off with Scarlett’s immediate family at the beginning:

Scarlett O’Hara

Parents:

Gerald O’Hara
Ellen Robillard O’Hara

Sisters:

Careen O’Hara
Suellen O’Hara

Emotional Mother:

Mammy

That’s 7 (counting Philippe).

Scarlett’s husbands:

Charles Hamilton
Frank Kennedy
Rhett Butler

That makes ten

Her brothers- Gerald O’Hara Jr. number 1, number 2 and number 3- (all dead in infancy before the book opens) make 13.

Scarlett & Rhett’s daughter:
Bonnie Blue Butler

All the Union soldiers who burn Atlanta.
