Synopsis "Rhett Butler"

Una obra inspirada en la conocida novela Lo que el viento se llevó, y como en esta última, los personajes principales son de nuevo Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Pittypat y Scarlett. En esta nueva versión se otorga especial protagonismo a Belle, dueña del prostíbulo Chapeau Rouge, a su hijo Taz y a Rosemary (hermana de Rhett). En este caso Rhett es el protagonista indiscutible, quien merma el peso y brillo que Scarlett y Tara tienen en la obra de Margaret Mitchell, para acaparar toda la atención del lector hacia su persona. A pesar de que la historia de amor entre Scarlett y Rhett sigue teniendo un valor indiscutible en la novela, en esta ocasión el autor se centra en describir con detalle todos aquellos acontecimientos que marcan la vida del protagonista desde su infancia. El escenario histórico en el que se desarrolla la acción cobra un papel muy relevante en esta versión y se convierte en un elemento indispensable de la misma, sin el cual la obra perdería gran parte de su atractivo. Las constantes alusiones al desarrollo de los acontecimientos políticos en el país, el papel relevante que el autor adjudica al conflicto racial entre negros y blancos, la esclavitud, la guerra de Secesión, etc., compiten en protagonismo con las historias de amores y fracasos de todos sus protagonistas, de modo que ambos se complementan de forma armónica. / Was it strictly necessary to our understanding of Gone With the Wind's dashing hero to flesh out his backstory, replay famous GWTW scenes from his perspective, and crank the plot past the original's astringent denouement? Perhaps not, but it's still a fun ride. In this authorized reimagining, Rhett, disowned son of a cruel South Carolina planter, is still a jauntily worldwise charmer, roguish but kind; Scarlett is still feisty, manipulative and neurotic; and the air of besieged decorum is slightly racier. (Rhett: ""My dear, you have jam at the corner of your mouth."" Scarlett: ""Lick it off."") But it says much about the author's sure feel for Margaret Mitchell's magnetic protagonists that they still beguile us. McCaig (Jacob's Ladder) broadens the canvas, giving Rhett new dueling and blockade-running adventures and adding intriguing characters like Confederate cavalier-turned-Klansman Andrew Ravanel, a rancid version of Ashley Wilkes who romances Rhett's sister Rosemary. He paints a richer, darker panorama of a Civil War-era South where poor whites seethe with resentment and slavery and racism are brutal facts of life that an instinctive gentleman like Rhett can work around but not openly challenge. McCaig thus imparts a Faulknerian tone to the saga that sharpens Mitchell's critique of Southern nostalgia without losing the epic sweep and romantic pathos. The result is an engrossing update of GWTW that fans of the original will definitely give a damn about. Copyright © Reed Business Information
