What am I reading?

I honestly can't tell anymore if Margaret Mitchell wants me to despise Scarlet or if my distain is was unintended. Grandma Fontaine is the only character in this book that acts in a manner worth of praise.

This book is Margaret Mitchell's self insert fanfiction for the civil war.
Scarlet is a Mary Sue.
I question this book's literary value.
This book's main worth is to demonstrate how misguided and racist a 1930's Georgian woman could be.
Anyone who tries to defend this book to me is in for an uphill battle.

This book is racist. I had always been told that the romance plot in this book was so amazing that it was worth subjecting myself to all the bigoted hateful language.
The romance plot is abusive.
I'm very tired.
