The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: never spoke alone and she was desperate to question him. She
wanted to know whether he now hated her and exactly what he had
told Melanie, but he held her at arm's length and silently pleaded
with her not to speak. The sight of his face, old, haggard with
remorse, added to her load, and the fact that his mill lost money
every week was an extra irritant which she could not voice.
His helplessness in the face of the present situation irked her.
She did not know what he could do to better matters but she felt
that he should do something. Rhett would have done something.
Rhett always did something, even if it was the wrong thing, and she
unwillingly respected him for it.
