Answer: Stuart Tarleton

In the book, Stu Tarleton was courting India Wilkes when Scarlett decided to make him notice her. Thereafter, both Stu and his twin, Brent, were devoted to Scarlett, to India's chagrin. Then, at the barbecue, Scarlett steals Charles Hamilton from India's sister, Honey, who is not a character in the movie.

2. In the movie, Scarlett whispers something to Cathleen Calvert about Rhett Butler. In the book, we find out what she says. What is her question to Cathleen?

Answer: "Did she have a baby?"

Cathleen tells Scarlett that Rhett took a Charleston girl out buggy riding without a chaperon, and that they stayed out all night. It caused a scandal when Rhett refused to marry her the next day.

3. True or false: In the movie, Scarlett's wedding was the day after Melanie and Ashley's wedding.

4. In the book, Scarlett was pregnant four times. How many times was she pregnant in the movie?

5. True or false: In the book, Melanie offers her wedding ring as a donation at the Bazaar, and Scarlett follows suit, for the same reason.

Answer: False

In the book, Scarlett takes her ring off because she feels left out when everyone else is offering jewelry to donate to The Cause; Melanie attributes her motives to pure unselfishness and loyalty, and does the same. In the movie, Melanie offers her ring first.

6. When Rhett and Scarlett are waltzing at the bazaar in the movie, Rhett tells Scarlett he wants to hear the words "I love you" from her. Does he say this in the book?

Rhett doesn't even let on that he loves Scarlett years later when he asks her to marry him; he is aware that she is still in love with Ashley and doesn't want to put his heart on the line for her to break.

7. Which of the following Atlanta characters from the book does not exist in the movie?

Answer: Archie

Suellen had tried to take advantage of Gerald's addled mind by making him sign an oath that he didn't understand. Gerald's senses had returned at the last minute, and he refused. Feeling betrayed by his daughter, he had gotten drunk and broken his neck trying to jump the fence the way he had when he was younger.

9. In the book, Suellen ends up marrying Will Benteen, a "Cracker" who comes to live at Tara after the war. Does Suellen marry in the movie?
