Part One is an introduction to Samuel Beckett and Waiting for Godot, the research background, the reasons and purpose of studying Waiting for Godot from the perspectives of postmodernism. Part Two is a detailed analysis of Waiting for Godot and the antiplay techniques of it, basing on four typical features of postmodernism. It is also divided into five chapters. Chapter One is the theoretical premises. Chapter Two focuses on the dehumanized characters and “pairing” relationships in the play. Chapter Three is mainly about Beckett?s use of “direct expression”, which serves as a strategy Margaret Mitchell was born in a lawyer?s family in 1900. When she was young, she?Margaret Mitchell was born in a lawyer often heard people talking about the civil war which made her interested in the s life condition in that period. In the beginning of1930s, she?war and people worked for the Atlanta newspaper office, where provided her lots of historical materials about American civil war. After her marriage, she resigned from the Atlanta newspaper office and began her position of Gone with the Wind. It took her 10 years to plete this masterpiece. In 1936, Gone with the Wind was all the rage. So far, it was regarded as one of the most famous love novel in American literature. In Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell portrayed the inferior position of women in the south of America during the 19th century. She also described a heroine Scarlet and her love entanglement with Ashley and Rhett. Scarlet was selfpartial and priggish when she was a young lady。 she was selfish and kind when she was a widow。 she was shrewd and gainful when she was a businesswoman. Her life was filled with legend. Her ups and downs fully embodied her life condition and her attitude toward life. She was a mon woman but she acted like a great woman did. She was a modern woman in old ages. Her bravery, independence, resolution and other personalities always encourage women in modern times.

The views on marriage are increasing changing ,and the motivation of making marriage is changing. But how to build the healthy views of marriage is important and from the novel we could make out the right views on marriage from the analysis of Gone with Wind. The amendments proposed are stubbornly geared towards preserving a relationship in which the man is not voluntarily staying in the marriage. As to how that can result in a harmonious and happy family life still remains a mystery to me. Promoting fidelity would be seem like a better strategy than condemning infidelity. China is a populous country, and I am confident that there must be a good population of males who will set good precedence in sustaining a long relationship with one mate. Gone with Wind is very meaning, especially in the human spirit of love and marriage. In term of love and marriage. Romeo and Juliet in foreign country while Liang Shanbo and Zhu Liye in China, and they are all pursuit of ideal love and marriage. The love and marriage is the one thread in the novel, which let us thinking and moving. of depthlessness in postmodernism. Chapter Four is an analysis of “indeterminacy” in this play.
