浅析《飘》中的女性意识
《飘》分析

二、独立的人格、坚强的性格和现实的人生态度
• 女性的独立首先在于经济上的独立。南北战争的飓风横扫 过思嘉的世界,将她扫出了生活的安乐窝。“黑人都走了, 田亩荒废了,仓库烧光了,母亲死了,父亲痴了,丈夫丧命了,两 个妹妹病了。于是,自出世以来从来没有不戴帽,不披纱罩 在太阳里走过路的她,无可推卸地担起了生活的 重担,成了 一家之主”。 孤独和身心的疲惫虽时时袭击着她。她觉 得 很累,想有人替她挑起,但最终还是自己担负起所有重担, 没有逃避,没有退缩,靠自己坚强的毅力解决生平从来没有 经历的一切问题,并且都做得很成功,这表现出她顽强的拼 搏精神和非凡的生活能力。思嘉的行为方式既源于她内心 的生命力和坚强的性格,也取决于她相对独立的观念。
好莱坞影史上最值得骄傲的一部 旷世巨片,影片放映时间长达4小 时,观者如潮。其魅力贯穿整个 20世纪,因此有好莱坞“第一巨 片”之称。影片当年耗资400多万 美元,历时三年半完成(挑选演 员+拍摄),其间数换导演,银幕 上出现了60多位主要演员和9000 多名配角演员。在1939年的第12 届奥斯卡奖中一举夺得八项金像 奖,轰动美国影坛。这部耗资巨 大,场景豪华,战争场面宏大逼 真的历史巨片,以它令人称道的 艺术成就成为美国电影史上一部 经典作品,令人百看不厌。
•
“面对这个完全陌生而又极其严酷的生存环境,思嘉清楚 地认识到只有理智地面对,才能保全她自己、她的家人和 她的塔拉,所以思嘉以‘举世皆蚀我独清’的姿态,以‘敢 为天下先’的大智大勇顽强地开辟着自我 生存空间”。 在这种观念的支配下,金钱对她来说显得越来越重要 了。 为了能赚取更多的钱,她公开在亚特兰大与摧毁他们家园 的北方佬做生意,也毫不在意作为丈夫的弗兰克会无地自 容。她丢开妇女足不出户的规矩,抛头露面地经营木材厂, 即使在她怀孕时也照样出入。但事实证明,她是很优秀的, 她把木材厂经营的条条有紊。

《飘》中的女性主义分析

《飘》中的女性主义分析作者:孙天怡来源:《青年文学家》2019年第03期摘要:《飘》通过斯嘉丽在爱情、事业、生活上的经历和转变来阐明女性主义的立场,唤醒人们对于女性主义的思考。
斯嘉丽有着鲜明的固执叛逆的性格,造成她这种性格的主要原因是外部环境、家庭影响以及内心的冲突等方面。
本文对其中女主人公的性格矛盾,在爱情和婚姻上追求独立和自由的诉求,以及对于家庭我行我素的态度进行全面深入的分析。
总之,通过对女性主义浪潮的解读,分析其对作者的影响,并以此来解读这部作品中的女性主义思想,分析女性对男权统治的突破。
关键词:女性主义浪潮;矛盾性格;女性主义;女性意识[中图分类号]:I106 [文献标识码]:A[文章编号]:1002-2139(2019)-03--02米切尔耗费了接近十年的时间,才在1936年出版了《飘》。
米切尔在这本书中给予寄托了自己非常大的希望,在20世纪30年代到四十年代中的妇女解放以及觉醒运动受到了这本书的极大影响,肯定了小说对妇女解放的重要意义,引导着许多国家的人民和女性的女性主义意识的觉醒,对世界妇女的解放有着重要的积极影响,加速了女性主义在世界上的发展,在书中表达了主人公渴望独立与自由,并且也在一定程度上暗示了妇女意识的觉醒。
一、女性主义对玛格丽特·米切尔创作的影响女性主义它可以说是一种文学的批判理论或者有关于哲学的社会思潮,在文学中的主要表现是女性追求女性意识,并且用女性的观点来解读文学作品,研究女性的特有的书写的方式。
由于米切尔良好的教育以及自身的婚姻,加之当时美国的女性主义运动,在这种内外环境下以及正处于世界大变动中而形成的女性主义思想,由此才创造了斯嘉丽这一位女性主义中的代表人物。
二、分析《飘》中的女性主义(一)斯嘉丽的矛盾性格可能也正因为斯嘉丽对于强者崇尚的价值观念,导致在斯嘉丽各种自私贪婪、虚荣、叛逆等性格形成的时候,也形成了在艰难困苦的情况下化悲痛为力量,能够不屈不挠的在艰难的生活中战斗。

论《飘》中斯佳丽的女性意识

108论《飘》中斯佳丽的女性意识文/邓建波摘要:《飘》是美国女作家玛格丽特·米切尔的一本小说。
作者成功塑造了斯佳丽这位具有女性意识的独特人物形象:独立、勇敢、顽强等。
关键词:《飘》;斯佳丽;女性意识《飘》(Gone with the Wind),也被译为《乱世佳人》,是美国著名女作家玛格丽特·米切尔创作的小说。
小说以塔拉庄园的奥哈拉家与十二棵橡树庄园的威尔克斯家及两家的奴隶、亲朋好友为主要背景,展开佐治亚人在美国内战全过程中的宏伟画面。
主要人物是塔拉庄园的大小姐斯佳丽·奥哈拉、瑞特·巴特勒、阿什礼·威尔克斯及其妻子梅拉妮。
阿什礼与梅拉妮代表的是古老的社会传统,而斯佳丽与瑞特敢于向古老南方传统挑战,不让社会道德规范束缚他们的个人自由。
他们知道在社会大动荡中如何生存。
斯佳丽是作者在该小说中成功塑造的一个鲜明、生动、复杂的人物形象。
本文试图从女性主义视角来解读小说主人翁斯佳丽的性格特征及其独立意识。
斯佳丽虽然骄傲、自私、虚荣、任性,但独立、坚强、勇敢。
一、女权主义的理论和背景西蒙·波娃认为:“女性主义是指独立于阶级斗争之外,专门为女性问题而奋斗的主义。
”吉尔曼将女性主义定义为:“女性主义是全世界妇女的社会觉醒。
”凯特则认为:女性主义是“反抗举世用法律或习俗强行阻扰妇女享有一切人为障碍”。
由于不同时代、地域、文化情境下产生的女性主义理论受到主流思潮的影响不同,女性主义衍生出了各种流派。
[1]20世纪60年代中后期,西方出现了日益高涨的妇女解放运动,提出男女平等和妇女解放,把性别问题视为社会政治问题,被称为“激进的女权主义”,后来逐渐形成了“文化的女权主义”。
“文化的女权主义”强调把妇女从“男性价值”的压迫下解放出来,根据“女性价值”创造一种替代性文化,旨在改变妇女形象。
大部分女权主义者认为,由于妇女解放运动,她们才开始注意她们的作品与生活的联系,注意到她们作为小说的女主人翁、女作家或者学者有限的、第二位的作用。
浅析小说《飘》中斯嘉丽的女性意识

浅析小说《飘》中斯嘉丽的女性意识作者:张宁来源:《新生代·上半月》2018年第09期《飘》由美国现代著名女作家玛格丽特·米歇尔所著,这是她短暂的一生中唯一一部小说作品。
《飘》作为美国文学史上的一部佳作,更是享有“南方种植园传奇的百科全书”的美誉。
在该作品中,作者成功塑造了女主人公斯嘉丽这一坚强独立而且反叛的人物形象,而斯嘉丽的成长历程,也恰恰是她形成女性意识的过程。
斯嘉丽从一个懵懂少女逐渐成长为一个独立、坚强的女性,从侧面反映了女性寻求独立追求解放的过程。
本书充分体现了女性主义思想,对女性主义起到了很大的推动作用,在文学界掀起了一股女性主义思潮,受到了一致的好评与赞扬。
本文将会从三个方面具体分析斯嘉丽性格中女权意识的主要精神体现。
一、对封建礼教的蔑视美国南北战争期间,南部党派主张保留奴隶制骑士时代的腐朽思想。
而这片土地上的女人就像温室里的花朵,丧失了自我意识,和愚昧无知,一切以男人为中心,完全服从于男人,无法主宰自己的命运。
女人一旦脱离了家庭,便会被认为脱离了宗教的圣洁。
可斯嘉丽正好相反,她性格独特,想法奇异,周围总是围绕着一群追求者。
每次与他们谈话一旦脱离了自己的主体地位,便会不高兴。
她从小就有一股叛逆精神,拒绝向任何人屈服。
斯嘉丽的母亲艾伦是一个端庄优雅、贤淑沉稳的女人,艾伦希望自己的女儿能成为同自己一样的淑女,所以努力培养斯嘉丽的淑女气质,但是却无法消除斯嘉丽骨子里的叛逆。
斯嘉丽整天跟男生混在一起,喜欢男生向自己献殷勤,享受被人吹捧的感觉。
遇到爱情,她敢于向艾希礼表达自己的爱意,并想同他私奔,她不顾世俗的眼光,任何言行举止都是她内心的真实写照,是她对封建礼教的蔑视。
尽管超过了当时女性的社会地位,充分体现了她的自我意识,是她女性意识觉醒与形成的开端,并为她不平凡的一生奠定了基础。
二、对经济独立的追求经济独立是女性独立的基础。
战争期间,斯嘉丽的老家遭到北方军的洗劫,田园荒芜,民不聊生。

Inspirations to Family (21)Conclusion (23)Bibliography (25)Acknowledgements (27)On the Feminine Awareness of Scarlettin Gone with the WindAbstractIn the life of the American female writer Margaret Mitchell,the novel Gone with the Wind is the only work that influences the world. According to the love life, war life, marriage life and economic life of a southern planter’s daughter before andafter the American Civil War, the novel deeply shows a complex character that has multiple personalities. 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 the American Civil War,the abolitionist thought, Scarlett’s particular characters and the cultural differences between the North and the South. Meanwhile, many readers are only fascinated by its intricate and moving narration but neglecting its intrinsic ideological values. Starting from analyzing related background of Gone with the Wind, this thesis dig into the heroine Scarlett’s characteristic of feminine awareness and its cause with the comparison between other representative females, thereby to make the unique feminine awareness of Scarlett deep-rooted in the hearts of people. Finally, integrating theory with practice, this thesis will have another look at women’s social position on the basis of modern society. Key WordsGone with the Wind, Scarlett, feminine awareness浅析《飘》中斯嘉丽的女性意识IntroductionGone with the Wind, the masterpiece of American female writer Margaret Mitchell is one of the most distinguished representative works of American literature. In1937, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize and was adapted into an Academy Award-winning 1939 film with the same name for her sweeping portrayal of the crumbling of the Old South. Merely on her singular work, the author Margaret gains a world-wide reputation. With breaking the sales records and has been translated into multiple foreign languages, it has been read not only in the United States, but also remains its eternal fame throughout the world. However, quite a number of readers regard Gone with the Wind as a simple love story and just be fascinated by its complicated and moving narrationwithout paying attention to its implicit ideological values.Therefore, Gone with the Wind is not only a famous human romantic masterpiece, but also a demonstration of the great and profound changes in the historical period, and meanwhile it is the declaration of the feminine awareness.This thesis aims to take a through exploration of feminine awareness implicated in the novel. The first part is a general introduction of the Background of Margaret Mitchell and Scarlett O’Hara. Then the following part will be an overview of the meaning of feminine awareness with the next part fully probing into the feminine awareness of Scarlett in this work. The forth part keeps on digging into the heroine Scarlett’ s characteristic of feminine awareness with the comparison between other representative females. In the end, it will come back to the modern society, to discuss about the conditions that arouse modern feminine awareness and the existed problem in today’s social life.I. The Background of Margaret Mitchell and Scarlett O’Hara A. The Background of Margaret MitchellMargaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta. Her mother was a suffragist and father was a prominent lawyer and president of the Atlanta Historical Society. Mitchell grew up with listening to stories about the history of her family and some war stories. Imaging herself lived in the past; she made up a lot of small stories where she was a hero in a war. All of these became materials when she wrote Gone with the Wind many years later. At the age of fifteen, she wrote in her journal that ―If I were a boy, I would try for West Point, if I could make it, or well I'd be a prize fighter , anything for the thrills‖(Margaret Mitchell, 2008: 45). At 18 years old, she met a young handsome officer, Clift Henry, who was the Ashley in her heart. Pretty soon, they fell into love. But he lost his life in the First World War, which brought lifelong sad to Mitchell. Her mother’s death made her father lose the courage and motivation of life, as Scarlett’s father got mad after his wife died.Like Scarlet, Mitchell was born a rebel girl. She got married with a bad-temperedand cold bully. Not surprisingly, this marriage came to an end shortly afterwards. Even though she cheered up again, she often felt the shadow of failed marriage for the rest of her life. In 1944, she got married again. Her husband Marsh was a reporter, who had loved and supported Mitchell for many years. Without Marsh’s encouragement, Mitchell couldn’t finish Gone with the Wind. She spent nearly 10 years on writing the novel. It took her half of a year to check the time and place of historical events in her novel.However, because of the publication of Gone with the Wind, her life became a tragedy. Overnight success changed her life thoroughly. In one of her letters, she said: ―I never imagined a writer’s life would be like this. If I had known before, I would never try to becoming a writer.‖ Only in the first week, hundreds of readers sent hercopies and requested her to sign on the copies and send the copies back to them. She was a woman who loved quiet and simple life, but copyright issues made her involved in a series of legal affairs. So, it is not hard to understand why from finishing Gone with the Wind to dying in 1949 she had never published any work.B. The Background of Scarlett O’HaraScarlett O'Hara is not beautiful in a conventional sense, as indicated by Margaret Mitchell's opening line, but a charming Southern Belle who grows up on the Clayton County, Georgia plantation Tara in the years before the American Civil War. Selfish, shrewd and rebellious, Scarlett inherits the strong will of her Irish father Gerald O'Hara, but also desires to please her well-bred, gentle French American mother Ellen O'Hara, from a good and well respected Savannah, Georgia family.1. The Family Background of ScarlettIn Gone with the Wind, Tara was founded by Irish immigrant Gerald O'Hara after he won 640 acres of land during an all-night poker game. The house is not pretty but large, warm with whitewashed brick and timber. Scarlett is the oldest of three daughters. Her two younger sisters are lazy and whiny Suellen and gentle and kindCaroline. Her mother also gave birth to three younger sons, who were all named Gerald Jr. and died as infants.Sc arlett’s father and mother had a great influence on her characters’ information. Scarlett’s father, Gerald O’Hara, a little, hard-headed and blustering Irish man, is not well educated but like a friend of Scarlett, they talk with each other freely. In order to avoid making her mother worried and angry about what bad things they have done, they prefer to keep secrets for each other rather than tell her mother. Since her father taught her that the black slaves were most honest and industrious, Scarlett was concerned a lot about them. Gerald O’Hara believes that a man who wants to be rich should be strong and unafraid of work. This character seemed to fit for Scarlett and showed up when she saved Melanie, Tara, her family members out of the dangerous situation. It is obviously that her characters were deeply affected by her father. Meanwhile, Scarlett is well disciplined by her mother, who was a well-bred, gentle woman. Scarlett regards her mother as ―something holy and apart from all the rest of humankind‖ and ―the embodiment of justice, truth, loving tenderness and profound wisdom—a great lady.‖ Young Scarlett, or Scarlett before the war, wants very much to emulate her mother 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‖(Mitchell, 2008:62). Nevertheless, Ellen does influence Scarlett much.2. The Society at Her TimeThe novel Gone with the wind was written by Margaret Mitchell on the background of The American Civil War. The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a civil war in the United States of America. ―The causes of this war were that the north and the south have different views upon whether the slave policy should be abolished or not‖(Stampp, 1980:102). However, the city of Atlanta, Georgia, which the novel Gone with the wind had happened there, was also involved in the American civil war. It was an important rail and commercial center during the American Civil War. ―The fall ofAtlanta was a critical point in the Civil War, giving the North more confidence, and along with the victories at Mobile Bay and Winchester leading to the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln and the eventual surrender of the Confederacy. After the war was over,the US had been through the reconstruction era. Reconstruction activities started immediately.‖ (Thompson, 2001:99).II. Feminine AwarenessA. Definition of the Feminine AwarenessFeminine awareness is a cross-cultural concept. Female awareness and female subject awareness, the concept originated from the social gender awareness, refers to the female perspective and cognitive gender awareness. The so-called gender awareness refers to the conscious awareness of gender relations, studying the political economy culture and environment from the gender perspective, doing the gender analysis and planning, and the subject awareness of gender category is introduced, its theory basis is the emphasis on human subjectivity (张敏,2010:23) .Therefore, the female awareness is that females, as the subjects in the objective world, be aware of their own position, role and value. Specifically, female awareness is women's unique kind of the women's awareness, is to fulfill their historical mission, social responsibility, obligation, and aware of their own characteristics, to find a unique way to participate in the social life of the reformation from psychological structure, population structure and cultural structure three respects, and certainly achieve their own needs and values.It includes status awareness, value awareness, right awareness, and independent awareness, sense of participation, enterprising awareness and self awareness.B. Features of the Feminine AwarenessIn A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf discusses feminine awareness from the literary sense. She explains why there are so few women writers and why it is difficult for woman to write. There are three important points in this essay as follows. Firstly, women’s previous lack of success as writers proceeds not from any absence of talent,but from social disadvantages. Secondly, she suggests two crucial remedies: financial independence and personal space in order for women to achieve their full potential aswriters. And thirdly, Virginia Woolf argu es that female writers shouldn’t think of their gender when doing some writing.Thus it can be seen, t he feminine awareness contains two features. One is that females know themselves, have a well understand of self nature and some ideas of what life means for them. Besides, ―women need to fulfill their personal and national destinies, but they also need to fulfill the spiritual destiny of humanity‖(Madsen, 2006:79). The other is thinking highly of females’ position and grasping the female life characteristics. Its core is to emphasize females’independent existence, as the famous director Huang Shuqin says, ―Female awareness must be female self, self awareness, self development, the protagonist should be active or is a kind of active behavior‖. III. Feminine Awareness of ScarlettIn Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell has described a series of strong and courageous female images that are always making every effort to pursue their true love and free marriage. What they have done is just for women’s self-awareness and self-realization and for economical equality and personal independence. They are not the ignorant vulnerable group at all, though the southern women are under suppression in the author’s description. Propping up the civilization of the South with their great love and tenacity as well as its plantation economy, they confirm the truth that women completely with the ability to be self-reliant and as great and tough as men. They have a kind of power——―soft power‖. Women reflect soft but powerful spirit with the value. They are like bamboo, can bend, but can never be broken. Therefore, when the southern society is falling, the female awareness becomes firm spiritual force, leading people to advance forward bravely. ―The only reason we lasted as long as we did was because of the ladies behind us who wouldn’t give up‖(Mitchell, 2008:189).A. Analysis of Scarlett’s Feminine AwarenessIn Gone with the Wind, Margaret Michel described the heroine Scarlett as a very clear cut image. Scarlett is so brave that she dares to pursue economic and personal independence and fight against traditional conventions and emphasis on self-awareness. Coming on the stage from sixteen to twenty-eight as an apple of her parents’ eyes, she has married three husbands, twice been a widow, had three children and also did her best to revive the whole family. In order to create this unique female image, the writer puts the heroine under the broad social background of the American Civil War and the background of post-war reconstruction, shows her characteristic in many aspects, life in love, war and family life with a reflection of winding and changing mind journey to brings a female’s rich inner world to readers and presentsimage that is brave enough to face her life and persistent in pursuing self value.1. Fight against Traditional Conventions In patriarchal society, God stands for men. It has been shown in Holy Bible. ―But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ‖(Bible, 2008:67). For this reason, women’s rebelling against ―God‖who stands for men or the authority of men is a manifestation of their female awareness. For Scarlett, the heroine in the novel is such a woman who is never afraid of ―God‖ or men.In Disorderly Conduct: Visions of Gender in Victorian America, Carroll Rosenberg have said,―the American society of the 19th century has provided women with only one acceptable role——being a good wife and loving mother‖(Rosenberg, 1975:33). At that time, this role needs women to sacrifice themselves and give their heart and soul to meet men. In pre-war times, as is known to all, women of the south were educated to be ignorant, incapable, and weak, to win the men's compassion and love from an early age. In addition to this, they could not be in charge of her own life and never say what they thought. Such women in the patriarchal society were representativesof moral codes and manners. Under the patriarchal education, women were submissive and they were required to submit themselves to the female ethical criteria and show unquestioning submission to the males in their families, just as Simone de Beauvoir has said in The Second Sex―One is not born a woman, but becomes one‖ (Beauvoir, 1949:188).All these rules are of no use to Scarlett, although she practices it when it will be beneficial for her. However, she has a practical way of looking at southern customs, so it doesn't influence her a great deal when other ladies gossip about her for not acting like a lady. Scarlett is not a traditional woman though she lives in such a culture. Unwilling to surrender under the male world, Scarlett dares to challenge authority of men and fully express her own thoughts. ―Some day I’m going to do and say everything I want to do and say, and if people don’t like it I don’t care‖(Mitchell,2008:100). As long as she wants to achieve her goals, she will attain the end by hook or crook and never be afraid of the public angry which was led by her unacceptable behaviors. This is Scarlett, a woman beyond secular world, having the courage of showing her nature and risked the danger of violating traditional conventions.On the surface Scarlett behaves like a good-mannered lady. ―But for all the modesty of 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.‖ (Beye, 1975: 43).2. Persistency in LoveIn the patriarchal society, men were positioned to play an initiative role and women played a passive role in the traditional marriage. Yet Scarlett initiatively pursued her own marriage which is actually a fight against the male-dominated society. Refusing to passively accept the male selection, Scarlett did not accept her father’s decision of her marriage but initiatively declare her love to Ashley. She fell inlove with As hley since ―that day two years ago when Ashley, newly home from his three years’ Grand Tour in Europe, hand called to pay his respects, she had loved him‖(Genovese 35). While she failed to get the heart of Ashley, Scarlett had some marriages because of some reasons. Though these marriages were her compromise to life, they are also her active and hard choice.The love of Scarlett is actually a self-centered love. Scarlett has loved a person for many years, which is Ashley. For Scarlett, Ashley is always a rejecter. She couldn’t help herself loving Ashley since a man came up to her with dreamy and honorable qualities. In order to get Ashley's heart, Scarlett ingratiated herself with him and tried all her skills to make him notice her. In addition to this, she bravely confesses her love for him.Scarlett: Well...Ashley, I love you.Ashley: Scarlett...Scarlett: I love you, I do.…Scarlett: Don't tease me now! Have I your heart, my darling? I love you. I love you...(Mitchell, 2008:210) Love is blind, In order to revenge him, Scarlett regarded her marriage as play games and would rather give up her most profits just to keep him. For Ashley, He thought he loves her for she i s ―so fine and strong and good, so beautiful, not just her sweet face, but all of her, her body and her mind and her soul‖ (Margaret, 2008:270). However, this love is not real love. In the heart of Ashley, Scarlett is just a longing with fresh and exciting smells. In a word, Ashley only has a thing for Scarlett. As the novel progresses, Scarle tt’s idealization for Ashley was gone with the wind. After the war, because Ashley is depressed and unable to get up from a fall, Scarlett makes every attempt in the material to give him support until one day, she finally found that the Ashley is just a man who is beautified and embellished by her imagination and she found out that her love is notAshley --a lifeless idols.But for Rhett, he wanted Scarlett's mind and heart more than any other things. ―She is a great woman, the greatest woman I have ever seen.‖ He loved her not just for her body that was different from Ashley but for her heart. No matter how passionately Rhett treated to her, Scarlett always didn’t mind at all. When she needed his help, she went to him, and then putted him behind her. For Scarlett, Rhett was so easy to get that she never treasured him and finally resulted in the leave of Rhett. Later, Scarlett determined to do anything to find Rhett again and she still believed that never there was man she could not conquer. As long as she wanted, she would think out a way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day! The relationship built between Scarlett and Rhett is closely related to her character and female consciousness. Scarlett can abandon others, but she could not tolerate that others abandoned her, because that will be a great insult to her. She never can recognize failure. She must take the destiny in her own hands. Apparently, in Scarlett’s subconscious, there are strong conquer consciousness to man.From the above, Scarlett’s persistency in love shows on two aspects. One is that she loves Ashley no matter how many troubles around her, no matter how far they are separated by distance, or even Ashley has married Melanie, she has never thought of compromise or giving up this love. Another aspect is shown on Scarlett’s love for Rhett. Even though Rhett finally leaves Scarlett, she still firmly believes that she will think of some way to get him back. In the view of Scarlett, her persistency in love is just like her strong belief for living. Nothing can prevent her from pursuing what she want, even love.3. Pursuit of IndependenceThe famous British female writer Virginia Woolf once said in A Room of One’s Own, ―If a woman wants to write novels, she must have money and also a room of her own‖ (Virginia, 1957:78). In this word, ―money‖ and ―room‖ are connotation which indicates that if a woman wants to be independent; her economic life must beindependent first of all. Only in this way can women achieve personality's independence. Furthermore, women can not please men and ingratiate themselves with others any more. In Gone with the Wind, when the American Civil War broke out, the previous warm and happy life of Scarlett had been taken away and left sufferings to her: the former black slaves had gone, the lands had been ravaged, the cotton had been burned, mother was dead; father was mad; two sisters were falling ill… Tara, the ―cozy nest‖ of Scarlett, once brought her many golden dreams, had been ruined with the wind. However, Scarlett, ―the belle of the County, the sheltered pride of Tara‖(Mitchell, 2008:289), not compromised by cruel reality and even ―to pick up her discarded stockings from the floor or to tie the laces of her slippers‖(Mitchell, 2008:289), bearing the burden of her whole family without hesitation. In order to feed the whole family, Scarlett worked day and night and ignored that her thin and white-skinned hands were becoming more and rougher. All the people including Ashley and Melanie in Tara were living dependent on Scarlett. "Without her help, Melanie and her child would be dead in the war. Without Scarlett to be an evil, Melanie could not be respected as an angel." (Sarris, 1976:75) Her independence is at the expense of being an ―evil‖. To collect money for the sky-high taxes of theplantation, Scarlett even married the fiancé of her sister and received fierce criticism from public voices.During the period of Tara’s reconstruction, Scarlett paid her whole attention to money and the rebuilding of her family, even regardless of the morality. In order to success, Scarlett went out and worked like a man and persevered to try to achieve a particular aim in spite of difficulties. She bought a wood factory and run it by herself. She did the business and competed against males with her strong and confident heart and extraordinary insight which reflects women's self-awareness. While pregnant, she still shuttle back and forth between factories and cities in spite of the family’s prevention.The success of her career helped her get out from depending on men to realize her self-value and make her personality stand up.From one instant, Scarlett transformed from a girl who only treated life as merely playing games into a mature and wise owner of a big family with constructing and managing her life until becoming a tough and power inside woman. Her sweet and beautiful look she used to appear has gone with the wind but a confident and strong expression left on her face. What make people admit that she has completely achieved self-actualization are her courage, resolution, perseverance and action. ―Scarlett’s transformation is the collapse of southern gentlewoman, is the awakening of new female’s self-consciousness, and is the confidence of her ability and the pursuit of self worth and independent personality.‖ (魏旭峥,2008:143-145)4. Courage of LifeWhen The Civil War broke out, and also, the hard life begins. Scarlett’s husband died for suffering of fever after he joined the war. Because she did not love her husband, she would not feel some sad for the death of her husband. At the same time the south army was being gradually withdraw in defeat. But these had not made Scarlett afraid, what brought her great sadness was that Ashley also decided to join the war. What’s worse, in the meantime, both Scarlett and Melanie were pregnant and they fell into a very difficult situation. Since Scarlett is much more strong and healthy than Melanie, she gave birth to the baby smoothly. On the contrary, Melanie was in a very dangerous situation. At this very moment, for she had promised Ashley to look after Melanie when he went to war, Scarlett didn’t give up Melanie and did her best to help her even she knew nothing about delivering a baby. With the help of Rhett, they decided to return to Tara. However, on the way to Tara, Rhett said he must join the war as soon as they will arrive at Tara. Scarlett could not accept this.Rhett disappeared at the end of the road, without his help, Scarlett feel lonely and scared. However, she would not give up ―I will make is, mother will help me…‖Scarlett is very courage and never bows her heads, never retreat to life. Arriving home at Tara, she found the war had taken everything she possessed away. Facing what she had lost, Scarlett even felt desperate, but she was not lost into sadness. Soonshe realized she must support the family, feed more than ten mouths and challenge against difficulties like her ancestors. The War only leaved her the red earth, that’s enough, she thought of her father’s words,―Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything,‖ and begins her hard work. Dropping her reserve and pride, she worked like a black slave day and night, but she never thought to give up, she has a persistent pursuit of better life. She never gives up and continues to work to make their life better. Without food, she went out to find it. In order to protect all their scarce food, she even shoots a northern soldier who has the intention of robbing and taking away their horse and money. But before the war, Scarlett was a kind girl. But now, hard life makes Scarlett learn to face the cruel fact and also gives her courage and power to live indomitably.There is a belief in the heart of Scarlett---make life better and better. Like a courageous fighter, she fights for hunger, fights for money and fights for a better life. Life is still hard, but there is hope, Scarlett, like her mother, shouldered all the responsibilities of Tara, her family.B. Factors I nfluencing Scarlett’s Feminine AwarenessThe American Civil War brings Scarlett’s life a great change, and also, some personalities which are slightly visible before is gradually obvious and sharp on her body. These personalities are major factors that influence the feminine awareness of Scarlett. In addition to this, the strong sense of responsibility and love for her land, Tara, give her strength to overcome what difficulties she has met and stimulate her feminine awareness. Therefore, personality, war and land, the three points are factors that influence Scarlett’s feminine awareness.1. PersonalityThe American Civil war is the background of Gone with the Wind. At that time, in the old south, to keep elegant and beautiful surface and to maintain the shadow of knight age, women must like delicate flower, living in the soil of this culture, attached to the man. They suffer double pressures caused by male, female, lowly social。
