请求《飘》中scarlett与ashley的关系！英文的！

Ashley is the man with whom Scarlett O'Hara is obsessed. Gentlemanly yet indecisive, he loves Melanie, his cousin and later his wife, but is tormented by an obsession with Scarlett. Unfortunately for him and Scarlett, his failure to deal with his true feelings for Scarlett ruins any chance she has for real happiness with the true love of her life (Rhett Butler). Ashley is a complicated character who is sympathetic to the cause of the North. He claims that he would have freed the slaves that worked on his plantation had the 'war never come'. He pleads, in vain, to his wife Melanie to move to the North after he came back from the War. He ends up working for Scarlett, living off her generosity, because he is a terrible businessman.
