“My only hope is that Damon/Bonnie don't end up like Rhett/Scarlett in the sense that because Scarlett took Rhett's love for granted, Rhett ended up ditching Scarlett because of it. I just hope that when Damon does come to realize that he really does love Bonnie in the end that Bonnie doesn't reject Damon and his love for her because that would be really tragic, the same way that Gone With The Wind ended in tragedy.”
Well i been hoping that she doesn’t end reject him because she feels like a rebound... like a short fanfic that i read some time ago Second Choice (the title say it all)
or worse when he realize his true love is bonnie it would be too late... because she could had a child, someone for who she couldn’t just run away to the eternity adventure, therefore/or she will end up been too old for them to have a real relationship (not only platonic love). as peter pan and wendy (please don’t laugh of me), what I want to explain is that, he will be still a young man but she will be a woman -with family, and another type of life- thus they would be in different parts of the road or their paths would been apart for too long for reunite them… they would/could have little in common, I mean when they become vampires the maturity also stop in some way.. because they STOP LIVING THE HUMAN LIFE, some experience make us mature and they can experience them if you stop living, stop growing up. They can have the theory, see the demonstration of that but they would never practice them, at least, in LJS's books so far…
“ All the while, like Rhett did with Scarlett, Bonnie hid her feelings for Damon and held back on expressing them to him or to anyone and because she loves and cares about Damon so much, she lets Damon obsess over Elena (this proved that Rhett was actually a very selfless individual after all, just highly misunderstood, like Bonnie is) and have a chance at pursuing something with her, even though deep down inside, it may be painful for her.”
But she also hides her feelings because of Elena… when Damon kiss her in vicky’s backyards (?) she start to think in Elena I mean: ugh, come on he is kissing you!!! and of course the spoilers of midnight of what Stefan says to Elena (im not going to say anything in case you haven’t read it and don’t plan to do it so, otherwise I guess you know what I mean :)).
Yes you are right SHE IS SELFLESS!! So selfless that she put herself aside for her best friend and the love of her life!! Meanwhile Elena gives a sh!% the anybody!!!!
“What do you think of my comparison? Do you think that it is legitimate?”
OH HELL!!! I’m torn.. How you explained it I agree the relationship of DB can be compared to S/R… but I always thought that the story of Gone With The Wind is more related with the main trio, to me Elena is too selfish like Scarlett. Damon is always at her service but at the same time he confronts her, he has a strong character (similar to Rhett)… I hate the idea of these two together and I don’t want that the story of DB end tragically like S/R neither…
But I could live with the idea of DE if and only if the Vampires Diaries end as tragic as Gonne With The Wind or worse, after all when I already crying because DB and SE didn’t end like I would want it, what if I drop some more tears… even it could comfort me a little… I have my masochist moments I know…
To me Elena could have some remorse but never ACT selfless, she don’t care if with her behavior she hurt her boyfriend, his brother, her BEST FRIEND! And all the people that did put their life in danger more that once for her!!! It’s like she can’t really put herself in the shoes of the others… she can’t give up something or do something that means a real sacrifice to her person, first it is her well-being, then of her loved ones... she saves, helps, protects them because she can’t live without them, NOT because she only want the best for them. She still has a childish selfishness and as Stefan said in the story "Blood will tell" Bonnie is more woman than many adult ones... in this aspect is more mature than Elena IMO … because while her whims are intact Elena will be fine.
I am not speaking of solidarity but of charity. She can save the world but she can’t rid off of this need that she has to be the center of the world, everybody put her in a pedestal, being the most beautiful, the most beloved… BULLSHIT!! she trying to save the slaves or the town? ..Ha!… Please give to this girl a Nobel Prize!
Ok… now im rambling about how much loathing awake in me Elena… and that is not important here (though it was gooood release it)…
I have problems with the relationship of Stefan and Bonnie as Ashley and Melanie, between them never existed that type of love like Stefan for Elena or Bonnie for Damon, but they personalities are more similar A/M. Bonnie loves her friend so much, she can sacrifice herself for Elena… and trust Elena, while she dismiss Bonnie, for her childish manners or whatever… But she is stronger, powerful and at the same time much more better person!!
Both Damon and Stefan are in a similar position to Rhett’s, they love Elena and did a lot for her… Stefan loves her in another level to me, because he can let her go if that is what she wants, even meaning the end of him… She takes his love for granted, but some day she could cross the line and Stefan -I hope- will say ‘I love you but I can’t live like this anymore’. I know that the love don’t mean deserve someone, but I’m sick of her behavior and I think that everything have a limit, Damon is his brother for God sake! But Stefan is so passive that remind me to Ashley.
Meanwhile Damon remind to Rhett, he and Elena they are similar, strong characters but that doesn’t mean that they are for each other… Damon isn’t that bad person but he try to remain the appearance because he think that that is show weakness. And Elena in the other hand is not a saint angel; luckily she knows that and knows that Stefan loves her with all her flews her relationship with him never could be compared to one with Damon. Because DE are so selfish that are going to kill each other at the end when the honeymoon ends and the real coexistence begins.
Damon did a lot for Elena although he said that he wants her (I don’t remember if he said that he loves her exactly, perhaps because DE moments make me sick! And as auto-defense I tend to forget them). But she loves Stefan. I know she do but she is constantly playing this sickish game with Damon… She could love him too but I think that is, more like friendship, similar to another book couple Bella and Jacob … the problem is that the in their selfishness allow lust win…
So.. Basically I like your comparison, it could be legitimate but IMHO there are others stories more similar to the relationship between Damon and Bonnie and Gone With The Wind is more related to others relationships of The Vampire Diaries… And I really hope that DB don’t end up like S/R, but if DE does happen I want a tragically end!!! That Elena realizes that she don’t love Damon like she loves Stefan but Stefan would be fed up of that situation and will say ´enough is enough´… or Elena would spend so much time in the middle of the two brothers that Stefan would leave her because he would want to give her freedom to be with Demon but Damon would so sick that he wouldn’t mind anymore if she loves him and go away… or something like that… I really want that the brothers to have at least a bit of pride as Rhett!
Sorry all my digressive, i hope made my point clear. It was difficult explain myself in English… but when I began to comment I couldn’t stop at all!
