Melanie Hamilton

Melanie Hamilton Wilkes is the tritagonist of the 1936 romance epic novel Gone with the Wind and later the 1939 film of the same. Melanie is the sister-in-law of the central protagonist Scarlett O'Hara and later her closest companion.
==Characteristics & Personality==
Unlike most of the central characters in both the book and film adaptations of Gone with the Wind, Melanie doesn't do much in term of action while Scarlett is a determined and ruthless oppurtunist and Rhett drives through a city engulfed in flames. What makes Melanie so heroic is her pure heart and endless compassion. She is properly described by Rhett Butler as "the only completely kind person I ever knew". In comparison to Scarlett, she is much more idealistic, feminine, compassionate and moral. Despite her endless optimism, she is very grounded and calm, being the only person Rhett would allow to comfort him when his daughter died.
