The basic story for Gone with the Wind is a sheltered, spoiled, rich girl realizing the hard truths of the real world during the particularly bloody Civil War period of American History.
She goes from being doted upon and having every need taken care of to working her own land in order to keep her home, which was an extremely hard thing for her.
I don't think the story was a tragedy at all - instead I saw it as a story of triumph over adversity. While she had a hard time of it, she still managed to keep Tara and became (what I think we all consider) a real person.
Disturbingly, I read the book as a fairly sheltered young man myself - I distinctly remember reading a part where a wounded soldier was having his leg cut off with a saw - with nothing to anethatize him. For some reason, that really hit home for me - I'd never thought about how gruesome that war must have been.
