Scarlett hates Melanie in the begining, for Scarlett thinks she is in love with Ashley Wilkes, Melanie's husband. Melanie, oblivious to Scarlett's love for Ashley, loves Scarlett like a sister. Toward the end of the book, Scarlett and Ashely are caught hugging each other, (And in those days if a married man hugged a woman, it would be considered cheating on his wife) and they were caught by India Wilkes, Ashley's sister, who tells Melanie. Melanie now knows of Scarlett's lust for Ashley, but still defends her and loves her. In the end of the book, when Melanie dies, Scarlett realizes that she loved Melanie, and that she never loved Ashley, but she loved Rhett Butler, whom she was married to at the time. But when she goes home, she tells Rhett that she loves him, not Ashley, and he doesn't believe her, and leaves her.
