谈《飘》中女性意识的觉醒Awakening of Feminine ConsciousnessInGone with the windContentsIntroduction (8)ChapterOneThe Women Characters Show the Awakening of Women.. 9 ChapterTwoThe Most Important Women Characters Showing Their Woman Spirits to Protect Their Freedom and Their Dreams (9)Conclusion (16)Acknowledgements (18)Bibliography (19)IntroductionAs time goes by, with the development of the human civilization, the people began to realize the women status in all walks of lives in the world. Through continuous social realities we can see that women play an important role in creating the new world. So women want to improve their situations and social status. They want to be equal with men.From the old history to the modern time, many social activities, organizations and movement s are advocating women’s rights that are protected by the law and men and women are equal. Women’s views and ideas are the key. Thus knowledge and education become the first. In this essay, I take Gone with the Wind as an example to describe women’s rights in the novel.This essay is describing the feminism in Scarlett. It enlights the feminist movement, daringly reflects the theme of the freedom, the dream and the love and expresses the awakening of women's consciousness and self-consciousness and their seeking for independent human dignity. After that, people began to study the novel from a brand new angle, affirmed its significant exploration concerning problems of marriage, freedom and love, and established Scarlett's status in the society.The research is conducted on the awakening of feminists and the main characters. Then the author analyses the importance of the different loves in the novel to help Scarlett express the theme of feminism. In light of these ideas, the author puts the idea on the analysis of aspects of men and the author gets the conclusion that Scarkett is a famous piece of fiction about the theme of feminism.Chapter One The Women Characters Show the Awakening of Women1.1 Scarlett’s Ideas and Actions Describe the Awakening of WomenScarlett 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 time. 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, 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.Some of Scarlett's lines from Gone with the Wind, like "Fiddle-dee-dee!," "Tomorrow is another day," "Great balls of fire!" and "I'll never go hungry again!", have become modern catchphrases.As for her love, Scarlett did not care about the traditional rules. she wanted to choose her husband by herself. Sometimes, she kept her love as her private rights.As for her marriage, Scarlett once had been married for three tImes. At that time, it was shocking. Scarlett was not controlled by the traditional rules of marriage. She just did what she wants to do.As for her birth of children, through the three marriages, Scarlett had born three children, who had different fathers. She chose her marriage when she needed a man.As for her survival, Scarlett worked at Tara and made it better and better after the war. She also runs a store and two lumber mills. All she did support her family and relatives.Chapter Two The Most Important Women Characters ShowingTheir Woman Spirits to Protect Their Freedom and Their Dreams2.1 Scarlett O’Hara From a Young Girl to a Complicated WomanNo matter what we can see, the most important is the different loves of Scarlett There is a course of Scarlett’s Love Pursuit. Gone with the Wind depicts the perplexed love matter of Scarlett O’Hara during the Civil War and Reconstruction Age in the South. The whole novel is a course of Scarlett’s love pursuit. In the novel, Scarlett is a full-blooded woman; selfish, deluded conflicted, but driven by her own strength of will. She protects her land and runs her timber mill’s by using many base conducts; however, the motive power which pushes her to do like that is rightly her deep love for the land and for the men she loves. It is her deep love for Ashley, Tara and Rhette that supports her to pull through the difficulties, and to live on bravely. These positive elements rooting in her character continuously influence the women in the twentieth century.Her love for Ashley: Ashley is born of a line of men who use their leisure for thinking, not doing, for spinning brightly colored dreams that have in them no touch of reality. He moves in an inner world that is more beautiful than Georgia and comes back to reality with reluctance. Why is he so attractive to Scarlett? The very mystery of him stems from her curiosity like a door that has neither lock nor key. The things about him, which she could not understand only, make her love him more. In childhood, Scarlett and Ashley always play together. They seem to be as friendly as other friends. She has seen him come and go and never gives him a thought, and Ashley has never seemed so very attractive to her. It is as simple as that. That year she is only 16. She is attracted and falls in love with him. Scarlett stays headstrong and stubborn, as well as very selfish. All that she does is for her benefit. Yet she is not inherently evil. She turns to Ashley to be that authority figure, but he is not able to be one for her. She, just like a child, needs boundaries, and because she was not getting them, runs wild just like a child. Her so-called love for Ashley is a child’s love. He is something that denied her, so that makes her want it more.She has wanted him, in that first instant, wants him as simply and unreasonablly as she wants food to eat, horses to ride and a soft bed on which to lay her. Consequently, Ashley does never show love for her, nor do the clear gray eyes ever glow with that hot light which Scarlett knows so well in other me n.“And yet- and yet – she knew he loved her. She could not be mistaken about it. Instinct stronger than reason and knowledge born of experience told her that he loved her. Too often she had surprised him when his eyes were neither drowsy nor remote, when he looked ather with a yearning and a sadness, which puzzled her. She knew he loved her.” In fact, Ashley does not love her. He just lusts for Scarlett’s body. At the same time, he is afraid of her warmth, her forces and her frankness. As he has said that Scarlett had a lion heart. He needs a wife who is as quiet as himself. And the best woman is his cousin---Melanie Charleston. The marriage had another aim that is to uphold their family properties. But he never has the courage to face Scarlett and tell her that is Melanie who he truly loves. He chooses to keep a vague dubious relationship with her. As a result, Scarlett is a victim; no matter how she is cheated by him. He is a liar and a coward. He has no courage to face reality and his heart.He insists on closing himself in the entire old world, and cherishes the memory of the life in Twelve Oaks in sigh. His idea, language, fear and pain are all that Scarlett cannot understand, so he is attractive to her. However, in fact, Scarlett just hugs an unreal ima ge. During the war, she tries her best to look after Ashley’s wife and son, only because she loves Ashley and has promised him to take care of Melanie. As a loser, Ashley lives like a weak dog under the protection of Scarlett. He does not learn how to survive on his own in the new emerging South. He relies on both Scarlett and Melanie to keep him going. He realizes this, but does nothing to change it. He has nothing, no emotion, no enthusiasm, no aim, and dangles like an empty bag in the wind. But the foolish Scarlett still wants Ashley to marry her at that time and unchanged with wishful thinking to be his wife. She even encourages him to flee with her. Fleeing with Ashley is always a nice dream to Scarlett, and she dreams all the way to realizing it is too late. She just casts the unreal image on Ashley, though Ashley is not the one she loves in the real life. The one she really loves is an image in her dream.Her love for Rhett: Then from Cathleen’s words, Scarlett knows his terrible reputation: “Rhett But ler comes from Charleston. One day he took a Charleston girl out by buggy riding. They stayed out nearly all night and walked home finally, saying that the horse had run away and smashed the buggy and they had gotten lost in the woods. But to their surpris e, he refused to marry her the next day.” In people’s eyes, this was a bad guy in those days, as Scarlett also thought it like that. But somehow, unbidden, she has a feeling of respect for Rhett Butler for refusing to marry a girl who is a fool. In a word, the first impression of Rhett Butler was not so good. Anyhow, Rhett Butler is the typical southern young rogue, the one all the ladies are warned off, yet to be found fascinating. On the other hand, how about Rhett’s first impression on Scarlett? It was amazing though it was also not very good. Rhett overheard all the bold and enthusiastic expressions that Scarlett had told Ashley in that room. Then there was a quarrel between Rhett and Scarlett. Rhett was really attracted by her nature at once. From the very beginning, they had the same feeling about each other---ridicule and respect. They should not pretend to be lady and gentleman when facing each other. Rhett loves Scarlett, so whenever she gets into troubles, he will try his best to help her. After Scarlett is married to Frank Kennedy, it is Rhett who lends Scarlett the money to buy the mill and drives with Scarlett to-and-fro along the mill. Itis he who warns her about the dangers of making the drive alone. There was an intense sexual desire between the two. But Scarlett insisted on that she loved Ashley and would never change her mind. It is Rhett who tells her that she would never be happy with Ashley. And he is the only one who understands Scarlett thoroughly because they are alike. This mistaken feeling like a veil blinded her to convince that the one she really loves was---Rhett Butler. He finally marries her, but it is the beginning of the end. A marriage built on power struggles, communication difficulties and personality clashes between two fiercely independent and frustrated individuals can only lead to the inevitable break-up. Perhaps they are too much alike to live peacefully together. Rhett knows that the two things in the world. She longs for---Ashley and wealth. He can give her wealth. But he cannot become Ashley. He is Rhett, Rhett Butler. He loved Scarlett, but he does not tell Scarlett that because he thinks it will give her power over him that he does not want her to have. And he finally matched her in wits. But Scarlett still was too st ubborn to understand Rhett’s love.Her love for the land---Tara: The hand of Fate and a hand of poker combined to give Gerald the plantation, which he afterwards called it Tara, and at the same time moved him out of the upland country of north Georgia. Tara is a beautiful place with the long red road that leads down the hill to the river and the red fields with springing green cotton. Growing up in Tara. Scarlett understands that land and Negroes are all the resources of her big family. As a Southerner, she also hates the war and the Yankees, although she does not like to discuss the war. However, during the war, she volunteers to take care of the wounded in Atlanta. Like many white women, she takes an active and educated part in the movement to separate the South from the North. To protect the south means to protect her family and the plantation. After Sherman’s campaign, Atlanta is completely lost from the South. Many people desert their lands and families and escape to other places.Scarlett loves her family and the whole of Tara. Tara is her land and her backbone. She can lose Ashley or Rhett, but she cannot live without Tara. She stays and tries her best to preserve Tara no matter what it will cost. She deludes Frank Kennedy, her sister’s beau, a successf ul merchant in hardware, furniture, and lumber, and marries him to save Tara---the family’s plantation, her home. She relies on it to practice usury, run timber mill, and illegally employ Negroes. She is abused by the southern royalty to be greedy, selfish, shameless, cruel and cold. It does not matter, because those features are just the qualities of the ascending bourgeoisie. And she follows the improved bourgeoisie. She is an adventure, an upstart and a great heroine who has survived in the war. She is a belle in the turbulent days. Factually, all the people in Tara including the Ashleys are living on Scarlett’s shoulders. Without her cruelty and coldness, how could there be so many virtues in Melanie? Without Scarlett to be an evil, how could Melanie be respected as an angel? Therefore, Scarlett is the real respectable person. She is a heroine in the campaign at the terrible times.At the end of the novel, Rhett loses confidence in her, and leaves her away. The only thing that can comfort Scarlett is the land---Tara. Tara is her physical and emotional home to perch; Tara gives her life and energy. At this time her father’s words occurs in her mind “Land’s the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it’s the only thing that lasts.” From the beginning to the end, the land---Tara was the center in Scarlett’s heart, though she once gave up peasantry and ran after commerce during the war. Tara gave her the confidence to live on to win back her soul---Rhett again. This is where she always goes when her problems are too many for her to bear. Tara is her heaven as she finally understands what her father meant---the land is the only constant thing. She does whatever she can to hold on to it, and she is able to have it for comfort. It is the only thing she has left at the end of the story.In summary, Scarlett’s love for Ashley, Tara and Rhett respectively supports her to live on. When she falls in love with Ashley, she can give up the land---Tara to flee with him so as to get her sweetheart. During the war, when Ashley is enlisted in the Confederacy and Rhett is still a common friend to her, Tara becomes her beloved one. After the war, when she wakes up from her dream to Ashley, she loses her best lover, also her “soul”---Rhett Butler forever, because her statements and actions to Rhett before deeply hurt him. In despair, Rhett gives her up forever and goes away alone. After her love flame for Ashley perishes and losing Rhett’s real love, she was forced to go back to Tara---the only constant love she could rely on---the vast red land, the place where she was born and grows up.All in all, the whole novel is a course of Scarlett’s love pursuit. It is her deep love for Ashley, Tara and Rhett respectively that supports her to pull through the difficulties, and it is the very deep love for her land and for the men she loves which pushes her to live on bravely. These positive elements rooting in her character continuously influences the women in the twentieth century.2.2 The Women Can Surpass the Power of MenNo matter what will be happening in the real world the results and consequences can give everyone a fully contented answer .Through the novel, we can see different people who have different fates and their different goals.Scarlett is the most important person in the novel, it is difficult to define her, but we can see that: vain, flirtatious and utterly self-absorbed, Scarlett O'Hara makes an unlikely heroine. Other qualities, such as her courage and perseverance, ameliorate her bad points and make her an entertaining character. Although not particularly perceptive about people, she has a knack for seeing the reality of things, making decisions and following through on them no matter what she has to do. It isScarlett on whom the whole family relies after the war. Her determination to save Tara becomes almost an obsession with her. At last, she gets nothing except land, because the land can not leave her, but she can leave the land .She realizes what the most important thing is in her life. She got three marriages and she has everything she wants to own, all in all, at last, she lost them in the end.Melanie's loving nature and humility in the face of her family's financial difficulties after the war make her popular among the Atlanta ladies who admire her attitude, and they immediately recruit her for their numerous charities and organizations. Her wise and nurturing personality make her the natural choice for people seeking refuge and understanding; she comforts people hurt or rejected by Scarlett, notably Rhett and Wade. Her sharp intelligence about people and her personal strength come into play when she must act quickly to save Ashley from being arrested for his participation in the Ku Klux Klan raid. Taking her cues from Rhett, Melanie ad-libs her way through a brilliant performance designed to elude the police, a performance that Scarlett would never be perceptive enough to carry off. Melanie's death at the end of the novel is a revelation for Scarlett, who realizes that Melanie is the only true friend she's ever had. It is also Melanie, in her final moments before death that helps Scarlett to see how much Rhett loves her.Ellen O'hara, Scarlett's mother, Ellen is a member of the well-known Robillard family of Charleston. Ellen is known throughout the county as a great lady, and Scarlett longs to be like her. She dies from typhoid fever, which she contracts while nursing the Slattery family through it.In the end, the woman can not surpass the power of the man ,in the novel, we can known that the woman are always following the man ,they want to known all the things about the man even whether they are living or dead. On the contrary, men do not have the same feeling for women, they just do the things the society requires them. Due to the war, it is clear that women presents each one wants to have a woman before he goes to the war. So men are still control the world.Despite the severe gender inequality of their time, women in Gone with the Wind show strength and intelligence that equal or best those of men. Scarlett is cunning, and manipulates men with ease. She runs Tara when her father falls ill, and eventually realizes that she has a better head for business than most men. She becomes a very successful mill owner, running every aspect of the business and putting her weak, incompetent husband to shame. Melanie, although she is a subdued figure, exhibits increasing strength as the novel progresses, and she eventually emerges as the novel’s strongest female character. She provid es much of Scarlett’s strength, although Scarlett realizes this only at the end of the novel. Melanie also protects Ashley from the world he cannot face. Despite her humble means, she single-handedly facilitates the restoration of Atlanta society. Old Miss Fontaine and Ellen also demonstrate strengthand intelligence. Both women act as head of the family, and the narrator describes Ellen as the true mind and strength behind Tara.ConclusionTo conclude, it is the research that men and women who have their different freedoms and loves all get their fates and the consequences. It is easy to get the main theme that the man needs the woman and the woman needs the man. This is so called the equality. And we are trying to make it into reality. So the awakening of women is always moving forward until we find the last result that women get the equality.It is easy to get the conclusion that although these female characters and male characters belong to disparate backgrounds, they have the same advantages, that is, no matter how hard their lives are, they can use different ways to adjust themselves to have an optimistic attitude towards life. And they rarely complain about the fate, for they know it is of no use and a waste of time. To be practical and solve the thorny problems which they meet calmly is what women usually do in real life. The right belongs to men, the right and freedom belong to women. We need equality.The author makes a summing-up of the advantages of these women. When dealing with troubles, these women always show more practicality than men, when facing pressure, they can display more endurance and patience, no matter how hard their present lives are, their hearts are still full of hope towards their future and they also bear the responsibility t o be men’s spiritual supporters.The thesis can be simply stated: the author of this thesis finds that women always hold active and positive attitude to face the social pressure. When the society is moving forward, both men’s powers and women’s powers are indispensable. Unilaterally emphasizing and exaggerating the importance of men’s role in the society is not correct. Paying enough attention to the role of women and letting them exert all their powers will make the society develop in a better way.Scarlet t O’Hara lights up the awakening of women in pursuit of her freedom. Her different loves show that her actions in her mind demonstrate a kind of spirit which need power, decisive right, especially the control of money .All this proves that Scarlett wants to get all that men have .The equality is appearing gradually .However, at last, she gives up the will and becomes a full time wife and she thinks that she have had a perfect life. On the contrary, she still loves Ashley. In fact, she always gets him, when he finds this when Melanie died. Rhett Butler leaves her. Suddenly, Scarlett realizes that women can not leave men while the man can notleave the woman. This is the truth. To sum up, women get the true awakening .Scarlett O’Hara understands it and she wil l realize it.AcknowledgementsThanks for my teachers and professor Liu Xueyun, they give me much more rigorous and careful attentions.

关键词：英俊; 玩世不恭; 睿智; 精明Abstract:Gone with the wind, which was written by Margaret Mitchell, is one of the most popular masterpieces in the world. Rhett Butler is the leading man-role in this novel. He is handsome, and he spent money freely. He wears clothes which are always the height of style and tailoring. He is happy to present himself in the worst possible light with an amused, contempt smile, an unanswerable remarks and a graceful bow. These show his cynicism and sagaciousness. He says he would never uphold the South that cast him, but he joins the army at the eleventh-hour of the war. He was born as a gentleman but a renegade.

《飘》的英文论文关于《飘》的英文论文Last week, the American Film Institute released its list of the 100 best American films of all time. Not surprisingly, Gone with the Wind placed in the T op 10 (#4, in fact). However, although this epic romantic melodrama is undoubtedly one of the most popular and beloved motion pictures ever to grace the silver screen, it is also arguably the most overrated. Gone with the Wind is a very good movie, perhaps bordering on being great, but its subject matter and running time (which is easily 60 minutes too long) argue against its status as a masterpiece. As for its high placing on the AFI#39;s list…… it isn#39;t the only travesty on that roster, but it is one of the most obvious.Gone with the Wind is, simply put, a tale of two halves. The movie is divided by an intermission into a pair of roughly-equal segments. The first, which is brilliant and consistently captivating, covers the time period of the Civil War, beginning shortly after the election of Abraham Lincoln, and ending during Sherman#39;s march through Atlanta. The post-intermission half, which dishes out the suds, picks up at the end of the Civil War and concludes about eight years later. This portion of Gone with the Wind, while still retaining a degree of appeal and narrative interest, spins its wheels frequently.Nevertheless, viewing Gone with the Wind on television pales in comparison to seeing it projected on a motion picture screen. New Line Cinema has chosen to re-release the film (which is now in its sixth major revival) for its 59th anniversary. (Why notwait a year for the 60th?) Anyone who loves movies but has only seen this one on TV or video is heartily encouraged to visit the nearest participating venue. Theatrically, Gone with the Wind is an entirely different experience from its small-screen counterpart; some of the second-half narrative tedium is effaced by the glorious visuals. With a restored three-strip Technicolor print that preserves all of the original#39;s deep, vibrant colors and digitally-enhanced sound, this picture has never looked or sounded better.Gone with the Wind has one of the best-known storylines of any film, due in large part to the popularity of the source material, Margaret Mitchell#39;s best-selling 1936 book. It#39;s essentially a sumptuous soap opera set around Civil War times in the deep South. The main character is Scarlett O#39;Hara (Vivien Leigh), the spoiled, manipulative daughter of an Irish immigrant plantation owner (Thomas Mitchell, who would later play Uncle Billy in Frank Capra#39;s It#39;s a Wonderful Life). Scarlett has two sisters, but she is by far the most spirited of the three O#39;Hara girls, and her father, seeing her as his successor, teaches her lessons about the importance of the land. "It#39;s the only thing that lasts…… the only thing worth fighting for," he comments in the face of war.Scarlett is secretly in love with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), who is about to marry the gentle, demure Melanie Hamilton (Olivia De Havilland). When Scarlett confesses her love to Ashley, he admits his feelings for her, but notes that Melanie will make a much better wife. Immediately after this meeting, Scarlett has her first encounter with the irrepressible Rhett Butler (Clark Gable),the cynical, smart hero who eventually falls in love with her. They are two headstrong likes who simultaneously repel and attract one another. When Scarlett remarks, "You, Sir, are no gentleman," Rhett#39;s smiling, easy response is, "And you#39;re no lady."The bulk of the film follows a romantic quadrangle as it unfolds against the backdrop of war and reconstruction in and around Atlanta and the O#39;Hara plantation, Tara. Scarlett is in love with Ashley, or thinks she is, but he won#39;t leave his wife. Melanie loves both her husband and Scarlett, who improbably becomes her best friend. Rhett is smitten with Scarlett, and she is clearly interested in him, but the real question is how long it will take for her to recognize the depth of her feelings. Ultimately, when Rhett has finally had enough, he walks out of her life after answering "Frankly, my dear, I don#39;t give a damn" to her plaintive query about what she#39;s supposed to do without him.The pre-intermission portion of Gone with the Wind, which runs about 115 minutes, is glorious from both a visual and an emotional standpoint. It#39;s a grand tale of love and loss in the midst of this country#39;s most bitter war. Most importantly, it shows Scarlett#39;s development from a vain, spoiled brat into a hardened, determined young woman. Her relationship with Rhett is there, but kept carefully in the background. There is sadness, humor, and a number of breathtaking shots of Scarlett silhouetted against a reddish sunset or the backdrop of Atlanta in flames. The film#39;s most lingering image -- that of thousands of Confederate wounded paving an Atlanta street -- occurs during this part of the movie.The second half, with its repetitive concentration on Scarlett#39;s back-and-forth, do-I-love-him-or-not relationship with Rhett, is less successful. This stuff is real soap opera material, and, even as well- acted and well-presented as the narrative is, there#39;s no mistaking it for anything else. If it didn#39;t run on for so long, it would be a lot more bearable, but Gone with the Wind threatens to wear out its welcome long before the end title appears. The problem is that the bulk of the story is really told in the first half, so there#39;s a lot of filler in the post-intermission material.Gone with the Wind stands as a romantic monument to the Old South -- an homage to an era and a lifestyle long gone. The opening title states: "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind." This clearly illustrates where the film#39;s sympathies lies, and it isn#39;t with the often-grim plight of the slaves (in fact, slavery is largely treated as a neutral, or even benevolent, institution).One of the tests of the lasting impact of any film is determining whether it#39;s still effective decades after its initial release. Gone with the Wind looks so good that it is surprising to consider its actual age. It#39;s hard to believe that many of the people involved with this film have long since died. Of course, period pieces should not be constrained by the era in which they#39;re made, only by the one in which they#39;re set. Thestoryline, while "progressive" and "modern" for the 1930s, is a little tame for the 1990s (hence the MPAA#39;s "G" rating), but, in its three-dimensional depiction of Scarlett and Rhett, it#39;s rarely naive. The dialogue is often brilliant, and some of the Rhett/Scarlett exchanges are particularly clever. Gone with the Wind avoids becoming hopelessly maudlin by peppering the lengthy storyline with a variety of lively and humorous sequences.Probably as much has been written about Scarlett and Rhett as about Casablanca#39;s Rick and Ilsa. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were perfectly cast in the leading roles -- she was a relative unknown who was "discovered" almost by accident after an exhaustive casting period; he was an established idol. They fit together perfectly, and, while their chemistry isn#39;t as overwhelming as that of Bogart and Bergman, it#39;s pretty close. As with all couples, their glances and body language say as much or more than their words, and, especially in Scarlett#39;s case, are always more truthful. The characters are fascinating, both on their own and in their interaction with each other. Scarlett is a devious manipulator with a dangerous charm (beware her when she bats her eyelashes); Rhett sees through her at every turn, but, even as smart as he is, he can#39;t help falling for her.There are a number of noteworthy supporting players. The two with the most screen time (aside from Gable and Leigh) are Leslie Howard and Olivia De Havilland. Both portray low-key characters, but do it so well that we develop a deep sympathy for them and their plight. When it comes to the games of the heart engaged in by Scarlett and Rhett, Ashley and Melanie are out of their league. Another standout is Hattie McDaniel, whose brilliant Mammy (the housekeeper at Tara) steals scenes from the moreprominent characters. McDaniel brings Mammy to life, and, while she#39;s not three-dimensional, she#39;s real. Mammy is also evidence that Gone with the Wind was capable of transcending (at least in part) the too-easy black stereotypes that were in evidence during the 1930s.When discussing the creative forces behind Gone with the Wind, one rarely hears the name of Victor Fleming (The Wizard of Oz), the credited director. (He was actually one of four men to helm the project.) Instead, Gone with the Wind is referred to as "a David O. Selznick Production," because Selznick was the driving force behind the movie#39;s development. As Producer or Executive Producer, Selznick was instrumental in making over 50 films, including titles like King Kong, A Tale of Two Cities, A Star Is Born, Rebecca, Spellbound, and The Third Man. With four directors, over a dozen uncredited screenwriters, and several cinematographers, Selznick proved to be the creative glue that held Gone with the Wind together. This was his child -- an obsession that consumed him for years.To date, no film has sold more box-office tickets than Gone with the Wind. Domestically, the tally almost doubles that for the phenomenally-popular Titanic. Of course, when the movie was first released, it wasn#39;t just another motion picture -- it was a spectacle, an event. Even though the habits of movie- goers have changed over the years, it#39;s easy to see why this film provoked such an outpouring of praise and adulation during its initial release, and why its stature has grown with the passage of decades. Gone with the Wind has flaws, but it#39;s still undeniably a classic and a legend.。

Analysis of Gone with the wind from thePerspective of Feminism从女性主义视角分析《飘》AbstractAs a great master in the modern literary world, American female writer Margaret Mitchell gains a world-wide reputation merely on the strength of her singular work Gone with the Wind.As the first novel which depicts American Civil War from women‟s perspective, Margaret focuses on the sufferings from the war of those women who stay at home and their difficult journey of reconstruction.Ever since its publication in 1936, Gone with the Wind has received extensive attention from literary world. Literary critics, on the basis of their respective knowledge and understanding, have given different evaluations about this novel. Most of their researches concentrate on the historical background of American Civil War,the abolitionist thought, Scarlett‟s particular characters and the cultural discrepancy between the North and the South. Meanwhile many readers only treat this novel as a simple love story, fascinated by its intricate and moving narration yet neglecting its implicit ideological values. Starting from the feministic perspective, this thesis will elaborate on women‟s social status and values, a series of vivid female images, and the relationship between nature and women, thereby to analyze the awakening of female self-consciousness reflected in this novel and its immense and positive effect on the cause of women‟s liberation.Key Words:Gone with the Wind women feminism eco-feminism摘要美国女作家玛格丽特·米歇尔作为现代世界文坛巨匠，凭借其唯一的一部作品《飘》就名扬天下，成为美国文学史一颗耀眼的明星。
