Rhett was pretty self-centered to. The perfect N couple.

PR,

Scarlett and Rhett were manipulators (exerting shrewd or devious influence especially for one's own advantage).  Beneath manipulation lies a lie.  Follow the lie!  That, for me, is the quickest and most accurate way to tell an N's from a  non-N.   Manipulators often operate on charm, innocence and sweetness.  The more of it they exhibit the greator their mastery of the art of manipulation.  I wouldn't go so far as to say that all charming, sweet, innocent people are narcissists, but sooner or later, before I become vested in a relationship/friendship,  I need to see more than those three character traits.   Manipulators = narcissists in my book every time!
