Ponyboy compares Dally to the southern gentleman in "Gone with the Wind" because he sees a blend of toughness and vulnerability in Dally's character. Just like the southern gentlemen who embody a certain charm and chivalry despite their harsh environments, Dally displays a rough exterior but also has moments of loyalty and care for his friends. This comparison highlights the complexity of Dally's personality, revealing that beneath his hardened facade, there are deeper emotions and values.
