Dianne SeamanGUEST
Let's say hypothetically I'm in Atlanta and I go to her...
Dianne SeamanGUEST
I, I'm drawn to her home where she lived when she wrote a lot of Gone With the Wind, and I have this spontaneous past life emotion surge up.
Dianne SeamanGUEST
Now, that was in 1979.
Dianne SeamanGUEST
Now, I was in Atlanta, and basically for about five minutes 1979 and 1920s Atlanta coexisted at the same place.

speaker_3HOST
The landscape is soaked in a history of immense wealth, horrific brutality, and profound moral contradictions.
JeanHOST
Let's start with the absolute giant in the room, the sweeping epic, Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel, Gone With the Wind.
JeanHOST
We are talking about a massive romanticized depiction of the South during the Civil War and Reconstruction, introducing the world to Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.
speaker_3HOST
Right.
speaker_3HOST
Gone With the Wind is the grand, highly debated mythology of the South.
speaker_3HOST
It romanticizes a plantation economy and a social order that was built on human bondage.
JeanHOST
Right, which is why it's so debated.
Jeff O'NealHOST

Jeff O'NealHOST

Rebecca SchinskyHOST
Big look for the Hobbits.
Jeff O'NealHOST

ShrutiHOST
And the way you interpret a book is going to be different than how someone else interprets a book.
ShrutiHOST
And if I take an example of a book from a while ago, like Gone with the Wind, for example, the only difference difference in the way you can interpret the book is your opinions or feelings about the characters.
ShrutiHOST
There's nothing gray or unclear about what actually happened, but by making it unclear what actually happened, you're just adding more layers of things that can be interpreted in different ways.
ShrutiHOST
And in a way, it's almost like parallel with what happens with the news and kind of like clickbait and rage bait and things where everyone just like has a split, like a different reaction based on what's happening that doesn't even necessarily have to do with facts.
MattHOST
Yes.
MattHOST
They get gone with the wind and they read it out loud to each other.

It brings up another question about, like, what does life look like as a widow? Because you mentioned being on the same page, but you had to do this by yourself.
