In "Gone with the Wind," Melanie Wilkes is Ashley Wilkes's first cousin. Their close familial relationship is highlighted throughout the story, as both belong to the same social circle in the South during the Civil War era. Melanie's loyalty to Ashley and her character's gentle nature contrast with other characters, particularly Scarlett O'Hara, who is also in love with Ashley.
