閱讀下列短文,從所給的四個選項中,選出最佳答案
Scarlett came into power at Tara now and, like others who became top leaders suddenly, all the bullying(威嚇人的)nature in her rose to the surface. It was not that she was basically unkind. It was because she was afraid that others would learn about her short-comings and refuse to obey her. Besides, there was some pleasure in shouting at people and knowing they were afraid. She was not blind to the fact that her character was changing. Sometimes when she made others frightened, she wondered where her good manners had gone. All the gentleness Ellen had tried hard to put in her had fallen away from her as quickly as leaves fall from trees in the first cold wind of autumn.
Time and again, Ellen had said, “Be firm but be gentle with those below, especially darkies(黑人).”“But if I was gentle, the darkies would sit in the room all day, talking endlessly about the good old days when a house Negro wasn't supposed to do a field hand's work,”she would answer.
She couldn't even love her sisters now. They were simply a dead weight on her shoulders. As for cherishing(珍愛)them, wasn't she bathing them, combing their hair and feeding them, even walking miles every day to find vegetables? If she was overly kind and gentle to them, they'd probably stay longer in bed, and she wanted them on their feet again as soon as possible, so there would be four more hands to help her
