Gerald had drifted it onto a habit of treating her in a mantoman manner.[13] Naturally, Scarlett forms a particular character. We can say Scarlett’s father gives her brisk and restless vitality and dauntless quality. When Scarlett was a child, she had confused her mother with the Virgin Mary. As far black as Scarlett could remember, her mother had always been the same, her voice soft and sweet whether in praising or in reproving, and her manner efficient and unruffled. To her, Ellen represents the utter security that only Heaven or mother can give [13]. She learns kindness, firmness and strong faith from Ellen. When Scarlett must face with all kinds of troubles, the love for Ellen gives her courage.The American Civil War was one of the most violent times in the History of the United States. Scarlett’s character matures in the war. She has experienced so many things. She leads an extremely poor life during and after the war, and that abominable environment molds her character to confront the reality bravely and her independence and selfishness to overe difficulties. The rich life experience before war。 the unstable life during the war and the extremely poor life after war provide the foundation to form the character of Scarlett. And thus in such environment, Scarlett’s character can be plicated. But the unforeseen events make her bee destitute, homeless and povertystricken suddenly. III. Scarlett’s Marriage Scarlett’s First Marriage Background of Scarlett’s first marriageIt’s an unprepared marriage, it happened in a ignorant situation. To pursue the attachment that she carves for, unexpectedly, Scarlett decides to confess to Ashley audaciously at the barbecue and elope with him [12]. Her exaggerated performance doesn’t work on Rhett Ashley Wilkes, and makes pletely different effects. Scarlett can’t grasp the heart of Ashley Wilkes. What’s more, Rhett butler knows the relationship about them, and saw the scene when Scarlett told Ashley she loved him, and wanted to marry him, so she felt embarrassed and hated both of them.

Soon after the war broke out, Charles die, Scarlett bee a widow. According to the traditions among the Southerners, a widow had to wear hideous black dresses without even a touch of braid to enliven them, no flower or ribbon or lace or even jewelers, except onyx mourning brooches or necklaces made from the deceased’s hair. And the black crepe veil on her bonnet had to reach to her knees, and only after three years of widowhood could it be shortened to shoulder length. The widows could never chatter vivaciously or laugh aloud. Even when they smiled, it must be a sad, tragic smile. And, most dreadful of all, they could in no way indicate an interest in her。 she must freeze him with a dignified but wellchosen reference to her dead husband. For Scarlett, widow might as well as be dead [13]. Due to her rebellious character, the “moral standard” doesn’t work on her, she even can’t cry for Charles, but keep widow life away from plain and boring.

The result of Scarlett’s first marriageIt’s a pletely failing marriage. Scarlett and Charles Hamilton didn’t gain anything from the marriage, and they didn’t feel happy. Scarlett utilizes Charles to fulfill her selfishness. She never treated Charles as her husband. She married with him, because it makes her feel more close to Ashley. If Charles didn’t die in the war, they will divorce someday, because there is no love between them.
