In "Gone with the Wind," Tara represents the traditional Southern values of family, honor, and resilience, serving as a symbol of the Old South's agrarian lifestyle and its attachment to heritage. In contrast, Atlanta embodies the bustling, evolving urban landscape, reflecting ambition, practicality, and the societal changes brought about by the Civil War. Together, these settings highlight the clash between the romanticized past and the harsh realities of a changing world, with characters navigating their identities within these contrasting environments.

In "Gone With the Wind," the characters represent various aspects of Southern society during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. Scarlett O'Hara embodies the tenacity and resilience of the South, while Rhett Butler symbolizes the disillusionment with traditional Southern values. Other characters, like Melanie Wilkes, represent the idealized Southern womanhood and gentility, while villains like Ashley Wilkes reflect the conflicts between old Southern aristocracy and changing social dynamics. Together, they illustrate the complexities and contradictions of a society in turmoil.
Before the war: scenes involving Tara and 12 Oaks were located in Clayton County. During and after the war, Atlanta is the main setting.
