“You can’t have him,” she continues, her voice getting colder. “He’s not yours to have, he’s Rhett’s.”
First, he is a person, not a possession, not a pet; he doesn’t *belong* to anyone.
Second, even if he were someone’s to possess, Rhett’s been dead and buried for over a year, while he’s still a young man. Is he supposed to mourn Rhett until the end of his days? Isn’t he allowed to have love in his life after Rhett? How utterly cruel and selfish of Elaine to think like that.
And don’t even get me started on the cruel treatment of her own flesh & blood.
