Rhett is the only guy that makes Scarlett’s pulse pound.
He believes Scarlett is capable of great passion. He gives her THAT in a time when sexual pleasure was considered a sin for women.
He sees Scarlett for who she is. A woman who values herself above everything else. A woman who loves and seeks the finer things in life.
A woman who uses her intelligence to make others do her bidding. She is his counterpart. This makes him the man for Scarlett.
He’s the only man who can hold his own against her. He challenges her to be kinder to others and to be honest about what she wants.
He never agrees with her unless he thinks she’s right. He doesn’t use his intelligence against her in the way she uses hers against all men she meets.
He is capable of great assholery but also the guy who sees Scarlett’s toes tapping beneath her widow’s dress.
Although he knows it will shock everyone at the ball, he makes sure Scarlett takes a turn on the dance floor.
Rhett Butler is a knockout!
