The analysis aims at showing the eternal charms of the image, Scarlett in the novel. 7 Chapter One the Period before the War Mitchell?s work relates the story of a rebellious Geia Southern belle named Scarlett O?Hara and her experiences with friends, family, lovers, and enemies in the South during the antebellum period, the War of Northern Aggression, and the Reconstruction era. About the Title The title of Gone with the Wind is taken from the first line of the third stanza of the poem Non sum uails eram bonae sub regno Cynarae by Ernest Dowson: “I have fotten much, Cynara! Gone with the wind.”[6] The title phrase also appears in the novel: When Scarlett of FrenchIrish ancestry escapes the bombardment of Atlanta by Northern forces。 she is traditional, graceful and tolerant. The old South has gone with the wind, and so Melanie. Scarlett was not, she is new, and she is decisive and firm. She is quite an opponent of the old South. New American es, and so Scarlett. The conclusion summarizes the whole thesis and reiterates the main viewpoint: her transformations connected closely with her three stages of life. She is increasingly maturing and in the end bees a new Southern woman with strong feminism leanings. When we faced with difficulties we will call the memories of Scarlett and her words to the world “Tomorrow is another day”!

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.
