15、ld millions of copies. The film, a production by David O.Selznick, exceeded all expectations, receiving critical and public acclaim that included an unprecedented ten Academy Awards.1 Even today, Gone with the Wind, despite its many historical inaccuracies, forms the basis of American popular memory
16、 of the Old South in the years since the Civil War, but Margaret Mitchells tale is the one that is most deeply embedded in American culture. The novel mainly describes the life of Scarlett who is the daughter of Taras master around the American Civil War. Meanwhile with the hint of a triangular love
17、 between Scarlett, Ashley and Rhett, the novel depicts a wide and prosperous picture of the social life of the South in America. An important element of the storys popularity is Scarlett OHara, the outstanding heroine who is full of conflicting and complicated features. This article analyzes the cha
18、racter of Scarlett from three aspects: the first one is her attitude towards life around the civil war; the second one is the exterior and internal reasons for the shaping of her character; the last one is Scarletts attitude towards love and marriage. The analysis aims at showing the eternal charms
19、of the image, Scarlett in the novel.Chapter One the Period before the War Mitchells work relates the story of a rebellious Georgia Southern belle named Scarlett OHara and her experiences with friends, family, lovers, and enemies in the South during the antebellum period, the War of Northern Aggressi
20、on, and the Reconstruction era.2.1 About the TitleThe title of Gone with the Wind is taken from the first line of the third stanza of the poem Non sum uails eram bonae sub regno Cynarae by Ernest Dowson: “I have forgotten much, Cynara! Gone with the wind.”6 The title phrase also appears in the novel
21、: When Scarlett of French-Irish ancestry escapes the bombardment of Atlanta by Northern forces; she flees back to her familys plantation, Tara. At one point, she wondered, “Was Tara still standing? Or was Tara also gone with the wind which had swept through Georgia?”7The title is beautiful, gone wit
22、h the wind, everything, like the old traditional South, like Melanie, like the slave system and Scarletts love to Ashley2.2 The Plot SummaryThe novel opens at Tara, the OHaras plantation in Georgia, with scarlet OHara flirting idly with Brent and Stuart Tarleton, twin brothers who live on a nearby p
23、lantation. Amidst the chatter, the pair tells Scarlett that Ashley Wilkes, the man Scarlett secretly loves, and his cousin Melanie Hamilton, a plain and gentle lady from Atlanta, are to be married. Shocked, Scarlett sits in silence until the two leave, without inviting them to dinner. Ignoring her m
24、ammys cautions against the cold, Scarlett goes to meet her father to confirm the news. After discovering the truth of the engagement, Scarlett is miserable, but realizes that Ashley has no idea that shes in love with him. She plans to make Ashley jealous by surrounding herself with boys in love with
25、 her at the barbecue the next day at the Wilkes plantation of Twelve Oaks, and then afterwards admit to him that she prefers him above all others. She never thought of the war, even it would break out soon, even everyone in the South was talking about it included her father, what she cares is only A
26、shley, the man she loved. But things did not go according to plan, when she finds Ashley later, he tells her that though he lives her, he will still marry Melanie. The innocent poor girl was really hurt. She slapped Ashley in his face. Moreover the unexpected man Rhett Butler, hidden behind a couch
27、during the emotional scene, sees Scarlett throw a vase across the room in anger after Ashley leaves, and is impressed by her fire. But Scarlett still holds the idea that she herself is the true love of Ashley. To revenge Ashley, she decided to marry Charles Hamilton who she didnt love at all, but Ch
28、arles sister Melanie really appreciated that. So both couples married within two weeks, just at the beginning of her marriage, Scarlett regretted her decision and also the war broke outBefore the war, Scarlett lived an elegant and leisure life. Its just such kind of life made her selfish and vanity.
29、 For love she is stubborn and wayward. She had romantic emotion to love. But, at that time, ladies and gentlemens demeanor formed the atmosphere of the traditional society. She was born in a sumptuous manor Tara in Georgia South America. Her parents want to make her a lady, and gave her very traditi
30、onal education. Scarlett didnt like doing that, she pretend to be a lady in front of her parents, but she went her own way at other times. In her inner world, she wanted an unrestricted and free life. So, a very proud own, extremely conceited but very beautiful charming Scarlett jumped out in front
31、of us. Scarlett was very proud that so many handsome young men surrounded her, and she was always the very center of them. But Ashley was the only young man that she admired, indulged and deeply loved. She was a proud girl, so proud that she believed deeply Ashley loved her even she got the news he
32、will marry Melanie.2.3 Scarlett in the Period before War2.3.1 Education of the Women in the South before WarScarlett OHara, a Southern girl before the Civil War, is no exception. As an ordinary girl growing up in Southern culture, Scarlett is undoubtedly deeply influenced by the prevailing ideas of
33、what a Southern woman should do in a male-dominated world. Gradually she becomes a woman, a representative of Southern women. To the Southern woman, marriage is the destiny traditionally offered to her and she is constantly taught the art of catching a decent and wealthy husband as soon as possible.
34、 The unmarried woman suffers from the poor situation and tries every means to catch a husband. Simone Beauvoir say in The Second Sex, “ In France, as in America, mothers, older friends, and womens magazines cynically teach young women the art of catching husbands, as a flypaper catches flies. It is
35、a kind of fishing or hunting that requires great skill.”8 Slowly Scarlett is brought up, not apparently different from other girls. Like other girls, she is extremely interested in love and marriage. Scarletts mother Ellen, by soft-voiced admonition, their common Mammy, constant carping and labor to
36、 inculcate in her the qualities that will make her truly desirable as a wife. She does not disappoint them in this aspect because, by the age of sixteen, she has learned to use the attributes of womanhood to advance predatory designs: the manipulation and seduction of men. Extremely selfish in love
37、and marriage, “she was constitutionably unable to endure any man being in love with any woman not herself” (p.16). Bored by the Tarleton twins talk of war, she moodily changes the subject to something far more interesting to her: the next days barbecue and hall at the Twelve Oaks. Deeply rooted in W
38、estern culture is the assumption that a womans energies are properly devoted to the chores of her family. In the South, little attention is paid to womens education and educational opportunities for girls are more limited than those for boys. In the opening chapter of the novel, we got the informati
39、on that Scarlett is not offered enough education and she has not opened a book since she left the Fayetteville Female Academy at the age of fifteen. However, the door of education is much wider for the boys. Stuart and Brent, the Tarleton twins, have been expelled from the University of Georgia, the
40、 fourth university that has thrown them out in two years, when they sit with Scarlett in the cool shade of the porch of Tara, the plantation of Scarletts father Gerald OHara. Unexpectedly, they are soon offered another chance to go on with their college education. All of a girls education, if there
41、is any, is reduced to the arts and graces of being attractive to men. It is universally acknowledged that scarlet eventually becomes a belle in the neighboring counties after years of the conbined efforts of her mother and Mammy. She does not feel sorry for her lack of education. In fact to all men
42、in the South, lack of education carries no shame at all, though they are given more chances to receive education. The things that matter to men include such things as rainsing good cotton, riding well, shooting straight, dancing lightly, and squiring ladies with elegance and carrying liquor like a g
43、entleman. Brought up in such an environment, Scarlett is actually a representative of Southern women who are deeply influenced by Southern culture.Scarlett shares dissemblance, an essential trait of Southern Womanhood, with the other girls. Thanks to her mothers and Mammys continuous admonition and
44、harping, she becomes a fairly beautiful, sweet and demure girl. Men have a common interest in appreciating the beauty, sweetness and demureness of a girl. Scarletts beauty is partially inborn and partially acquired, but her sweetness and demureness are chiefly achieved by means of dissemblance. Scar
45、lett understands of how to dissemble her own true feelings is even better than that of other girls. Scarletts “manners had been imposed upon her by her mothers gentle admonitions and the sterner discipline of her Mammy, her eyes were her own” (p.5). Her mother Ellen does not realize that it is only
46、a veneer, for Scarlett always shows her best face to her mother, concealing her escapades, curbing her temper and appearing as sweet as she can. She is utterly willing to pretend to be sweet and demure in order to succeed in catching her beloved Ashley as her husband.2.3.2 Scarlett the Rebellious GirlThe woman chained to her
