Analysis of Scarlett in Gone with the WindYang Tingting( College of Foreign Languages, West AnHui University, 1003Class,2010010100)Abstract:Having read the novel Gone With The Wind written by American writer Margaret Mitchell,I was deeply shocked. The novel, which Margaret spent about 10 years on, not only created a myth,but also show her own personal charm to the world. Novel's underground is based on the Civil War which happened in the United States, according to the changes of the Civil War starts the circumstances, so it has divided the macro history into micro history of personal experience. We can realise that misty thinking of Margaret through characters changes of people.This novel has represented the turbulent social reality in the South in American Civil War. Scarlett O’hara is beautiful then, in order to realize her dream of living better, she regards love and marriage as a chip of trade. There’s no true love in her three marriages, until the end, she understands that Ashley, the person she bears in mind for twelve years is not her true love, but one beautiful unreal image belongs to the South in the past and does not adapt to this coming new society. The person who she really loves is similar to her --- Rhett Butler.Key words:Growth; Character of Breaking the Rules; Hopes and defect; Conclusion1. Scarlett’s GrowthScarlett's growth can be divided mainly in two periods，before the Civil War and after it．To understand Scralett，we should know the two different ways of life have a great influence on Scralett’s character．Before the Civil War breaks out, Scralett as well as other old aristocratic young ladies in the south lives an easy，luxurious life full of barbecues，balls andflirting with beaus．For a young lady who has only got 16，the life for her just means learning the arts and graces of being more attractive to men，which is also the south society’s regulation of woman．On one hand，by the diligently stubborn teaching of her mother and black mammy, the seed off the purity and tradition are buried deeply in her mind. But on the other hand，her Irish father also influences her by the Irish stubbornness，arrogance，etc．These two spirits conflicts frequently in the young girl’s mind．Just like her spreading skirts，the demureness of hair netted smoothly into a chignon and the quietness of small white hands folded in her lap, her true self was poorly concealed．After the Civil War, Scralett’s true self, which is apparently opposite to the lady-mannered discipline of the old south，crazily yield sand matures in the desolate earth after the war．Scarlett’s anti-traditional behavior is more and more undisguised．2. Scarlett’s Character of Breaking the RulesPart of Scarlett's enduring charm for me is her aspiration to break the rules. She challenges nineteenth-century society's gender roles repeatedly, running a store and two lumber mills at one point. Scarlett is in some ways the least stereotypically feminine of women (in other ways the most), and the more traditional Melanie Wilkes is in many ways her foil. But Scarlett survives the war, several marriages, the birth of children, and even a miscarriage. Melanie, on the other hand, struggles with fragile health and a shy nature. Without Melanie Wilkes, Scarlett might simply be seen as harsh and "over the top", but beside Melanie, Scarlett presents a fresher, deeper female characterization; she lives a complicated life during a difficult period of history.3. Scarlett’s Hopes and defectsThe other charm of Scarlett to me is that she is always full of hopes of tomorrow, life and the future. Some of her lines from Gone with the Wind, like "Fiddle-dee-dee!" "Tomorrow is another day," "Great balls of fire!" and "I'll never be hungry again!" have become well-known all around the world. She is charming and candid．Thedream of tomorrow would call back the strength to live today, and the hope of future would help her to swallow all the bitterness of the present．The land is the only thing，which helps her to maintain her consciousness of tomorrow．From the beginning to the end，land Traa is always the core of Scralett’s life．Her constant care for Traa is never stopped because only from it her consciousness of tomorrow can be realized．Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything．For it’s the only thing in this world that lasts；it’s the only thing worth fighting for.Scarlett is remained as one of the most controversial literature figures from the day the book published till now．Her bad deed，bad words and bad thoughts after the war-time appropriately reflect her natural character——mixture，she is a blending of the good and evil，of practical and ideal，of despair and hope，and of yesterday and tomorrow．She is by far the most developed character in “Gone with the Wind.” She stands out because she is strong and saves her family but is incredibly selfish and petty at the same time4. ConclusionFrom the analysis of her character, she cannot be regarded as a perfect woman. By a rough glimpse, she seems to be a rude，ignorant，and hypocritical remaining of the old Southern aristocrats．Just like other southern people，she hates the war, disgusts the new established south government, deeply recalls the previous life，together with the careless revealing of her attitude towards slavery．They become the root where the criticism derives from．However, Scarlett is real and believableI think every one of us has her own desires, each person is serching for her own happniess . The desire will be a driving force for us, and the desire can improve the development of culture. Science and technology may also lead to crime and war. Though desires may have some bad effects on us, it very important. We will pursue our own happiness, although we there might be some difficulties and disputes, we should not give up our desire!Forgetting th e past doesn’t really mean that n othing has happened. Forgetting thepast is to accumulate energy of the future．Th e purpose of Scarlett’s looking forward is to survive to fight, because that is the miracle literature has created to attract，to move，and to encourage the people wherever they are．The old are gone with the wind, while the new are gathering new strength to march on.。

电影赏析 Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind1.Describe Scarlett’s personality. Who is she more like, her Father or hermother? Why? How does her personality reflect the changes that took place in the South from before the war to after the war?Scarlett is intelligent, independent, indomitable, trustworthy, and optimistic; at the same time, she is selfish, vain and greedy.She is intelligent, independent and indomitable. When the war was over and everything was broke into pieces, She had the great courage to face the reality by herself and did not bow to fate. She insisted to return home and undertook the whole family’s burden and fighted against the fate without cowardice and grow to maturity. She is trustworthy. She never gave up helping Melanie even in danger just because she made a promise to Ashley. Her classic line,”Tomorrow is another day,” showed her optimistic attitude towards life. However, She is selfish, vanity and greedy. She married to her sister’s fiance and later married to Rhett Butler.This was because she wanted to live a good life and to rebuild her family. And she used all kinds of means to gain profit. Just as she said: ”If I had to lie, steal, cheat or kill, as God as my witness, I’ll never be hungry again.”Scarlett is more like her father. She possessed manly characters. At the early time, She rode horses. She is stubborn and carefree, like her father. She always disobeyed her mother and mammy’s words and did not behaved like a lady. She never cared about other people’opinion over her. She just did whatever she wanted to. So she still wanted to dance and took part in activities just after her firsthusband died and she became a widow. While her mother was completely a lady, gentle and mild. She cared a lot so that she dismissed a servant just because the servant had relationship with a lady and made her pregnant.Before the war, Scarlett was stubborn,carefree, naive, and vigorous. These symbolized the peaceful, graceful and noble life in the South. After the war was broken, everything was changed. Scarlet had to become strong and grow to maturity. She struggled to survive. She became indomitable and independent and even more powerful than men. She had to undertook the whole family’s burden. Because her mother died and her father went crazy.This implied that people in the South were struggling to build a new country though the war had brought away everything.2.Describe Rhett Butler’s personality. How does he also represent the values ofboth the “Old” and the “New” south?Rhett Butler is courageous, confident, challenging, farsighted, responsible, sober-minded, determinated, and wit; while he is also selfish and jealous.He grew up in the last brilliance of the Old South and in an aristocratic family . At that time, every man was desired to be a gentleman. In my opinion, He is a real gentleman. Though he was unpopular or unacceptable among people because of his way of doing things. However, he did not care whether he was regarded as a gentleman or not. He always pursued the maximized personal interests, which represented the capitalism in the “New” south. But he was not mean, he was generous instead. He donated mang things for the soldiers in the war and later he alsodetermined to join the war as a member in the south though he clearly predicted the failure of the war.3.What do you admire and like about these two characters? Is there anythingabout their personality or character that you do not like?From these two characters we can see the complexity of human nature, both good and bad; these human characteristics showed up vividly. Firstly, I admire their courage to challenge the society. Then, In Scarlett’s part I admire her optimistic attitude towards all the difficulties in hard times; while in Rhett Butler’s part I admire the far-sight and vision possessed by him, he predicted the failure of the war, and he made a careful consideration for his daughter’s further so that he started to care about others’ opinion and tried to leave people a good impression.However, I do not like their attitude towards love. Scarlett did not have a good thought about the relationship between Rhett Butler and she, which led her tragic marriage. While Rhett Butler was jealous and did not show his love to Scarlett though he loved her so deeply.4.Describe Ashley Wilkes personality. How is he a contrasting charactercompared to both Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler compared to both Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler?Compared to both Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler, Ashley Wilkes had a totally contrasting character. He is gentle, hesitant, cowardly, and nostalgic. Ashley Wilkes was a complete gentleman in everyone’s eyes while Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler were not. He did not know his own heart so that he was hesitant when facingScarlett’s love towards him untill his wife died, which was a contributing factor to Scarlett’s tragic marriage. After the failure of the war, he dared not to face the reality and he was always immersed in the memories for the twelve oaks time.5.What is your favorite scene in the movie?My favorite scene is the last one when Scarlett returned to Tara and uttered the classic line: Tomorrow is another day. It gave me hope. I appreciate such kind of optimistic attitude. Also it arouse a kind of strong love for the land .。

关于《飘》中斯嘉丽的性格分析

Analysis of the Character of Scarlett in Gone with the WindAbstract:This paper mainly discusses Scarlett’s particular characters. Scarlett, who’s clever,stubborn and hard-working, is different from other aristocratic woman. She has been married for three times and killed a soldier; then buys sawmills, peddles timbering herself and earns money openly. The worst thing is she succeeds in business while other gentlemen lead poor lives. She is different, and also damned. But she is judged as a new woman in the old time.Key Words：Rebellious; different; new woman关于《飘》中斯嘉丽的性格分析摘要：这篇文章对于文学名著《飘》中的女主人公—斯佳丽·奥哈拉的独特个性进行了分析。

斯佳丽不同于其他贵族妇女，她聪明﹑迷人﹑勤勉并且倔强而坚定。

她共有三次婚姻，枪杀了一名正在家中行窃的北方士兵；后来买下锯木厂，自己为卖木材而四处奔波，最后公然地赚取了很多钱。

在许多绅士还过着贫困潦倒的生活时，她却获得了成功，这是人们认为最不能接受的事情。

她与众不同，因此被谴责，但却是“旧”时代的“新”女性。

关键词：反叛；与众不同；新女性Katie Scarlett O′Hara, the leading role of Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, always gets mixed reception. Scarlett, who’s clever, coquettish, stubborn and diligent, is different from other aristocratic woman. She has been married for three times and killed a thieving Yankee soldier; then buys sawmills, peddles timbering herself and earns money openly. The worst thing is she succeeds in business while other gentlemen lead poor lives. She is different, and also damned. She is judged as a new woman in the old time.Undoubtedly, if Scarlett were in our society, she would live comfortably. Meanwhile, she is a good example of survival. But we can not imitate Scarlett in all her ways. On the other hand, criticsnowadays should criticize Scarlett in a new way, the way of how to survive in modern society.Ⅰ. Present Social Situation of WomenSome novels and fictions create the images of women who are successful in career and gain respect from people. But these images are just the good wishes of the writers. The reason why these writers create such heroines is partly that in real life under that background, women can not easily succeed either in family life, career or interpersonal relationship.An ideal woman is one who should at least be successful in career, family and interpersonal relationship. But do not be scared of the three goals which seem difficult to achieve. To be an ideal woman, one can get some inspiration or suggestions from Scarlet and Melanie, the two heroines in Gone with the Wind.Ⅱ.Description of Scarlett’s Special Characters and StylesBefore the Civil War, Scarlett lives in a nearly perfect family. A gentle mother, a rich father, and a black mummy look after her well, and t hey make her a beautiful girl. On the other hand, she’s clever, brave and stubborn. Owing to these characters, her actions make her very welcome in gentlemen but unwelcome in ladies.A.The Background of Scarlett’s FamilyScarlett shows her difference at the right opening of the novel. She has a “gently bred Creole mother from the seacoast” (John, 253). Ellen O′Hara, has never been seen “stirred from her austere placidity nor her personal appointments anything but perfect, no mater what the hour of day or nig ht” (Margaret, 42). “There was a steely quality under her stately gentleness that awed the whole household” (Margaret, 43). Scarlett regards her mother as “something holy and apart from all the rest of humankind” and “the embodiment of justice, truth, lovi ng tenderness and profound wisdom—a great lady.” Young Scarlett, or Scarlett antebellum,wants very much to emulate Ellen, but in order to avoid missing joys of life, she will follow her mother only on condition that “some day when she was married to Ashley and old, some day when she had time for it”(Margaret, 62). Nevertheless, Ellen does influence Scarlett much.On the other hand, Scarlett’s father, Gerald O′Hara, a little, hard-headed and blustering Irish man, is not well educated, he believes that a man who wants to be rich should be strong and unafraid of work. And Gerald is hardy. “When Gerald wanted something, he gains it by taking the most direct route” (Margaret,48). This conclusion seemed to fit for Scarlett, too.B.Scarlett’s Different Attitudes to the Social Life and Her Happiness AntebellumAs for Scarlett, in her face “were too sharply blended the delicate feature of her mother, a coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father” (Margaret, 1). At the age of sixteen, thanks to Mammy and Ellen, she looked sweet, charming and giddy, but she was, in reality, self-willed, vain and obstinate. She had the easily stirred passions of her Irish father and nothing except the thinnest veneer of her mother’s unselfish and forbearing nature.she is high hearted, vivacious and charming, different from other ladies’ elegance. She is beautiful that she has made almost all the young men in the neighborhood court her; she has her own view that she always tries her best to gain what she wants—Ashley, or Tara, then Rhett. She will never know, and she would be pleased but unbelieving if she has been told, that her own personality, frighteningly vital though it was, was more attractive than any masquerade she might adopt. Undoubtedly, she is different, and because of this differences, Scarlett is destined to be damned—“No girl in the county, really liked Scarlett”.C.Scarlett’s Rebellious Activities in Atlanta during the Civil WarThen comes the Civil War. After her impulse (marry Charles H amilton to “retaliate” Ashley Wilkes’ marriage to Melanie Hamilton) Scarlett is soon widowed, to her dismay, motherhood follows. Of course Scarlett can not fell contented in her widow life, she still wants to dance, laugh and be courted as Scarlett O′Hara, not Scarlett Hamilton. And so, with the help of Rhett Butler, Scarlett begins to search for another paradise in her life. When she is still in mourning, Scarlett “tossed her head and sped out of booth” (Margaret, 189), hurriedly steps into the dancing flo or, and begins her another rebel life. She begins to think for herself instead of letting others think for her again. At that very time, she forgets herself and her rearing neglects the look on the chaperons’ faces, cares not what she will be criticized, she just wants to dance, to release her partly from mourning.D.Scarlett’s Pursuit of Freedom and HappinessOne whole year after Charles Hamilton’s death, Scarlett is partly liberated. Despite wearing mourning, she is back again where she has been before she marries Charles, as if she were Scarlett O′Hara again, the belle of the county. Careless of the disapproval of others, “she behaved as she had behaved before her marriage—went to parties, danced, went riding with soldiers, flirted…”(Margaret, 215). Life is still attractive, like she is. She enjoys her normal-like life again. She, Scarlett, energetic and animated, how can she be defined forever? Much less, the man she married has never gained her love at all! So that Scarlett, who is willing to, and destined to, pursue a passional life. Obviously, she is different, and still is scolded for being different from the social code. However, in modern society, no one has the right of obstructing a widowed lady from pursuing happiness, especially remarriage.Scarlet t’s emotion, as the Christmas season of 1863 coming, is surged up because Ashley Wilkes will come home on furlough.When Scarlett looks at Ashley, she “knew her feeling of that long-past night were those of a spoiled child thwarted of a toy” (Margaret, 259). But unfortunately, she still looks upon her feeling to Ashley as “love”, even more than before. According to such deep feeling, or love, at least she thinks so, Scarlett promises Ashley that she will look after Melanie for him.E.Scarlett’s Wisdom and Dil igence in the ReconstructionOut of Scarlett’s expectation, the more terrible disaster occurs—Ellen O′Hara, her gentle, amiable mother, has died; her father has turned to a terribly old man with schizophrenia. Now he is like a child, no longer a strong man, the backbone of Tara. Both of her sisters are ill in bed; slaves have run away, with only three darkies still remaining. There remains not enough food, and all their cotton has been burnt to ashes. Meanwhile, their lot of Confederate cash becomes worthless. The most important is that she, Scarlettt Hamilton, will continue to carry her burdens.The long road from Atlanta to Tara has ended, “in a black wall, the road that was to end in Ellen’s arms” (Margaret, 409). Never again can Scarlett lie down, as a c hild, secure beneath her father’s roof with the protection of her mother’s love wrapped about her like an eiderdown quilt. “There was no security or heaven to which she could turn now” (Margaret, 410); there is no one on whose shoulders she can rest her burdens. Now Scarlett is seeing things with new eyes, for somewhere along the long road to Tara, she has left her girlhood behind her. She is a woman now and youth is gone. The O′Hara’s do not take charity. The O′Haras look after themselves. Her burdens are her own and they are for shoulders strong enough to bear them. She can not desert Tara, “She belonged to the red acres far more than they could ever belong to her. Her roots went deep into the blood–colored soil and sucked up life, as did the cotton” (Marg aret, 411).The next morning Scarlett forces her to endure body’s stiffness and sore, goes out to search for some food. In the Negroes’ garden patches of Wilkes’ plantation, she is licked downby hunger and tiredness. When she arises at last and sees again the black ruins of the plantation, her head is raised high and something that is “youth and beauty and potential tenderness” has gone out of her face forever. The lazy luxury of the old days is gone, never to return. “There was no going back and she was g oing forward throughout the South for fifty years there would be bitter–eyed woman who looked backward… But Scarlett was never to look back” At that moment hunger grows at her empty stomach again and Scarlett says aloud: “As god is my witness...the Yankees aren’t going to lick me. I’m going to live through this, and when it’s over I’m never going to be hunger again. No, nor any of my folks. If I have to steal or kill—as God is my witness, I’m never going to be hunger again” (Margaret, 419). This is her daun tlessness.What an announcement of struggle! Indeed it is a day that is worthy of celebration. That symbolizes the birth of a completely new woman, a heroine in the old time. From then on, the shell of hardness, which has begun to form about her heart when she lies in the slave garden, is slowly thickening. Scarlett, who is more advanced than others, firstly realizes that her mother’s ordered world is gone and a brutal world has taken its place. “She sees, or she thinks she sees that her mother has been wrong, and she changes swiftly to meet this new world for which she is not prepared” (Margaret, 425). This is her perceptivity.Both of Scarlett’s two sisters and the slaves all refuse, or do not dare, to face the reality. Melanie, who can face the situation, but only endures and suffers passively, and she is not willing to, or can not, struggle against the bad luck positively and energetically. That is to say, once again, Scarlett is different and complained by everyone except Melanie—why does she become so cool, so chilly?As for her courage and fieriness, Scarlett kills a thieving Yankees soldier, imperturbably and determinately—right before the Yankee’s shoot. Such an act is mass criticized by the critics, they accuse her of brutality and murderer. They condemn her living by hook or by crook, not like a fair lady. But actually, she only “does what under the circumstances must be done if she is tosurvived” (W.J, 109). In modern society, that is called “legitimate defense,” is therefore guiltless. Anyway, Sca rlett saves other three sick girls and the babies. That is worthwhile. Even if Melanie were in the same situation, “she’d have done the same thing” (Margaret, 431).With Scarlett’s wisdom and diligence, the Tara can surely offer a better and better life if there were not the taxation affair. Then, in order to raise money, Scarlett has to go to Atlanta to drop on Rhett, “being a mere woman in a society that is bankrupt and still dominated by men who are either stupid or idealistic—and in any case ineffectual—Scarlett must use the only means available to her for saving the family plantation: sex”(W.J,108). However, this decision is not an easy one for her, Scarlett fights a quick battle with the “...three most binding ties of her soul—the memory of Ellen, the teachings of her religion and her love for Ashley. She knew that what she had in her mind must be hideous to her mother even in that warm far off heaven where she surely was. She knew that fornication was a mortal sin. And she knew that loving Ashley as sh e did, her plan was doubly prostitution...” (Margaret, 528). Unfortunately, although she has planned to sacrifice herself to Rhett, she fails, for Rhett is in prison.But in any case she will not give up Tara, and her folks. “She will seduce her sister’s fiancé in order to get his memory” (W.J, 108)—If her sister is a little less selfish than her, Scarlett will need not to marry such an old man. After all, she victimizes herself. To get and save enough money, Scarlett buys a sawmill herself. She shuttled back and forth in Atlanta city with the whole town talking about her. And she makes a success. Simultaneously, she is excluded out of social contacts. All she has done is to be different from other women and she has made a little success of it. That is the one unforgivable sin in any society.〝Be different and be damned〞. As Rhett says to her, “Scarlett, the mere fact that you’ve made a success of your mill is an insult to every man who hasn’t succeeded. Remember, a well-bred female’s place is in the home and she should know nothing about this busy brutalworld”(Margaret, 663). By now, we know, perhaps only partly, the reason why she is 〝different and damned〞.F.Scarlett’s Secret of SurvivalOnly Grandma Fontaine, “gives Scarlett the formula for survival and sup plies the rational for Scarlett’s tooth-and-fang code of morality” (W.J, 109): “we play along with lesser folks and we talk what we can get from them, and when we are strong enough, we kick the necks of the folks whose necks we’ve climbed over. That, my ch ild, is the secret of survival”(Margaret, 701). Scarlett, too, refuses to be one of the lesser folks, she wants not only to survive but also 〝prevail and will use any means at hand to gain her ends.〞And Scarlett wins the economic battle at last, though she loses the battle of heart(W.J,110). Scarlett’s tragedy lines in her “inability to understand the meaning of being a lady”(Elizabeth, 402). “No lady would admit that she, and not her husband, ran the plantation. No lady would admit to being hungry in public. No lady would admit to sexual desire or pleasure”(Elizabeth, 399).Ⅲ. Conclusion.From what has been discussed the above a conclusion can be drawn that women have wakened from the long sleep. Today’s women, holding half the sky, are masters of their own fate, which bring them great desire to achieve what they dream of.Scarlett can love and hate with a violence, “her voice was brisk and decisive and she made up her mind instantly and with no girlish shilly-shallying. She knew what she wanted and she went after it by the shortest route, like a man, not by the hidden and circuitous routes peculiar to women” (Margaret, 624). She wants not only to survive, but also to prevail and will use any means at hand to gain her ends, and she wins, still keeps an uneasily known kind heart. Those are characters needed for success, in 21st Century. If Scarlett were living in modern society, instead of the old time, she surely could lead a happy and comfortable life, like many other white-collar women do.In short, Scarlett is a new woman in the old time. She is different and damned. However, the society which we live in is an advanced one, so we can imitate her, of course not in all her ways. Fortunately, we could 〝be different〞as she is, moreover, not〝be damned〞as she is.。
