In1937, Margaret. Mitchell won Pulitzer Prize, for her sweeping portrayal of the crumbling of the Old South. Since then, the novel has sold millions of copies. The film, a production by David , exceeded all expectations, receiving critical and public acclaim that included an unprecedented ten Academy Awards.[1] Even today, Gone with the Wind, despite its many historical inaccuracies, forms the basis of American popular memory of the Old South in the years since the Civil War, but Margaret Mitchell?s tale is the one that is most deeply embedded in American culture. The novel mainly describes the life of Scarlett who is the daughter of Tara?s master around the American Civil War. Meanwhile with the hint of a triangular love between Scarlett, Ashley and Rhett, the novel depicts a wide and prosperous picture of the social life of the South in America. An important element of the story?s popularity is Scarlett O?Hara, the outstanding heroine who is full of conflicting and plicated features. This article analyzes the character of Scarlett from three aspects: the first one is her attitude towards life around the civil war。斯佳麗與媚蘭是小說中性格截然不同的兩個女主人公，而不同的性格是她們的人生也大相徑庭。作者瑪格麗特 .米歇爾是一個具有女性主義意識的女作家。 涉密論文按學校規(guī)定處理。對本文的研究做出重要貢 獻的個人和集體，均已在文中以明確方式標明。對本研究提供過幫助和做出過貢獻的個人或集體，均已在文中作了明確的說明并表示了謝意。盡我所知，除文中特 別加以標注和致謝的地方外，不包含其他人或組織已經發(fā)表或公布過的研究成果，也不包含我為獲得 及其它教育機構的學位或學歷而使用過的材料。除了文中特別加以標注引用的內容外，本論文不包含任何其他個人或集體已經發(fā)表或撰寫的成果作品。本人授權 大學可以將本學位論文的全部或部分內容編入有關數據庫進行檢索，可以采用影印、縮印或掃描等復制手段保存和匯編本學位論文。 引言簡要介紹作者的生平、以及當時的女性主義。對比部分主要是斯佳麗與媚蘭與斯佳麗對比。 關鍵詞： 《飄》； 戰(zhàn)爭 ； 女性主義 ； 對比 iv Abstract Gone with the Wind, written by Margaret Mitchell has been one of the bestsellers and popular with the reader ever since its publication in 1936.
