"To the world, you are one person; But for someone, you are his whole world. "

This sentence moved countless people, from margaret mitchell's Gone with the Wind.

Scarlett, the heroine of Gone with the Wind, is a fictional character. She is strong-willed, beautiful and brave. In fact, margaret mitchell, who created Scarlett, is a truly aloof, stubborn, resolute and strong woman.

A maverick girl

Margaret mitchell was born in the upper class of the United States. His father is an honest guy, while his mother is full of enthusiasm and vitality.

Little Margaret is nothing like a traditional upper-class girl. At the social dinners of rich children, she kept a straight face, but outside that occasion, she plunged into the boys' group and loved riding horses and wearing military uniforms.

At that time, she often listened to adults talk about the civil war, and a series of painful war stories deeply shocked her soul. Margaret's literary dream began.

She is full of fantasies and stories. At first, she just kept a diary, and then she began to write novels. Sometimes she feels that she writes like a god, and sometimes she can't write a word for a long time. After many repetitions, she lost confidence in her talents. And at that time, her mother always wanted her daughter to achieve something in science.

However, both the literary dream and the scientific dream were broken by a ruthless war.

19 18, the war clouds over Europe covered the land of the United States. Groups of young and passionate men set foot on the battlefield of gunfire, and Margaret's brother and fiance were among them. Most unfortunately, Margaret's fiance died in a distant battlefield in Germany.

That year, Margaret just turned 18. When she was young, she experienced the sorrow of where you were going.

The nightmare is not over yet. A few years later, Margaret's mother lost her life in a flu, and Margaret had no time to see her mother for the last time.

Margaret was heartbroken at the loss of her mother. She is like a runaway wild horse, doing whatever she wants, completely violating the customs and moral norms of the upper class and completely ignoring the gossip of others.

It was at this time that Margaret met the most important person in her life.

Meet the right person and do the right thing.

Some people say that before a girl meets true love, she will inevitably meet several love rat. Margaret is no exception.

At the age of 22, she met the charming wine merchant Rhett Upshaw and insisted on marrying Upshaw against the opposition of relatives and friends.

However, the good times did not last long. After the honeymoon, her husband did a series of things that broke Margaret's heart and then abandoned her.

After Upshaw left, Margaret met and gradually understood who really loved herself.

As she wrote in Gone with the Wind:

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one. Therefore, when we finally meet that person, we will know how to be grateful.

In Margaret's most difficult time, Upshaw's friend John Marsh gave Margaret a lot of care and help.

Later, Margaret became a newspaper reporter as she wished. She works very hard and is excellent.

In order to find out the feelings of aerial workers at work, she once hanged herself from a 200-foot-high building window;

In order to sketch the images of five heroic generals in Georgia with her pen, she has been trapped in the library day and night for weeks.

In these days, Margaret rekindled her desire to write. She wants to write about the great women behind the heroes during the war.

She wants to write about how desperate but tenacious women break through the shackles of reality and follow bloody footprints to win a new tomorrow for themselves step by step.

She wants to write about women who were destroyed by the war. The war aroused their innate desire for survival, which made them put away their weakness and firmly face the turbulent troubled times.

She wants to write about an imperfect woman, weak and strong, selfish, with clear love and hate.

The ups and downs of life

Margaret's writing can really persist without the encouragement of John Marsh.

1925, Margaret and marsh got married.

Margaret had to quit her job in the newspaper because she hurt her leg at work. Encouraged by her husband, she began to devote herself to creation.

In the following 10 years, Marsh did the same two things almost every day: during the day, he was the manager of the advertising department of Atlanta Electric Power Company; In the evening, he is the manuscript editor of margaret mitchell.

He devoted all his wisdom and energy to margaret mitchell's creation, taking it as his duty and taking pleasure in it, which led to his physical paralysis from overwork.

During her writing, Margaret started writing several times and put it down several times. More than 200 pages of manuscript paper are scattered in big pockets, which are not shaped, let alone finalized.

In this way, nobody cares for nine years.

Also in the ninth year, fate reversed.

One day, a friend who was also writing proudly said to her, "At least I was rejected by the most famous publisher."

Stubborn Margaret listened to these words, compiled her scattered manuscripts into a book and sent it to the editor-in-chief of a big publishing house.

The critical editor-in-chief was deeply shocked by this story!

So it took them a year, and Gone with the Wind finally came out.

That year, margaret mitchell's name caused a sensation in the American literary world, and she almost became a household name "heroine" in Atlanta.

On the day when the novel was published, her phone rang every three minutes;

Someone knocks at the door every five minutes;

A telegram is sent to the door every seven minutes;

There will always be a group of fans at the door of the apartment, hoping to get her signature;

Thousands of letters from readers come from all over the world.

At that time, no matter where margaret mitchell went, people welcomed her even more than President Roosevelt.

On the ninth day after Gone with the Wind was published, Margaret told her story in a letter: "I didn't know that a writer's life would be like this. If I had known in advance, I would never have tried to be a writer. In the past few decades, my life has been very peaceful.

This is a lifestyle I choose, because I am not good at interacting with people; Because I like quiet; Because I am in poor health, I need to have a rest. In recent days, my life has completely lost the quiet atmosphere. "

What Margaret can't imagine is that soon after, her life met with "big trouble".

1939, Gone with the Wind, a film based on Gone with the Wind, premiered in the United States, and many people found Mitchell one after another and asked her to evaluate the protagonist. This made her confused and helpless.

Mitchell believed for the first time that Gone with the Wind would be popular forever.

Her life has been overwhelmed by Gone with the Wind.

Facts have proved that the film Gone with the Wind has been a great success and has become an undisputed classic in the film history in the past century.

A few years later, the novel Gone with the Wind also occupied a place in the literary world.

By the end of 1970s, the novel Gone with the Wind had been translated into 29 languages and sold well all over the world.

Facing the honor, Mitchell said modestly that Gone with the Wind is not beautiful in words and great in thoughts, and she is only an amateur writer herself.

She declined all kinds of invitations and has been living in seclusion with her husband.

However, in less than ten years, her life came to an end.

She predicted that she would die in a car accident, but it really happened.

Women should cultivate themselves to be tougher.

On the night of August 1949+0 1, margaret mitchell was knocked down by an accident on his way to the cinema. She lost a lot of blood and lost consciousness. The doctors tried their best to save her, but there was nothing she could do.

A legendary woman has thus finished her extraordinary life.

She didn't leave many works in her short life, but Gone with the Wind is enough to establish her position in the history of world literature.

Gone with the Wind tells us that the war brought not only physical pain, but also the desperate life of women behind the war.

However, margaret mitchell gives the heroine Scarlett life, just like her stubborn self: she never flinches in the face of difficulties, just as powerful as fire, wind and all wild things.

Today, Agujun will share with you three "weapons" that margaret mitchell gave Scarlett in this novel.

The past has passed, the dead have died, and the living will continue to live.

Everyone can see his own shadow in this book.

You will find that only alive, only alive, tomorrow is another day.

Living is more important than anything else.

Play to their strengths

Qian Lao said in Fortress Besieged, "Women are natural political animals. Virtual reality, retreat for progress, these political skills, women are born with. Women don't have to study politics, but politicians nowadays must learn from women if they want to succeed. The drama on the political stage is reversed. "

These political means have been proved by Scarlett. What Agujun wants to tell you here is that only by exerting everyone's strengths can one strive for more opportunities. Of course, don't take advantage of others.

Many people have never been partial since childhood, and spend a lot of time learning from each other's strengths, but it is difficult to find what they really like and are good at.

Scarlett, on the other hand, knew from an early age that she was good-looking and was good at helping herself get what she wanted with her face.

More "evil" than the wicked

Scarlett is the daughter of a well-fed farmer. She just needs to figure out who she wants to marry.

However, a war pushed her under the gear of history.

In the war, all women were spared and became the weakest group.

Scarlett is no exception.

She lost everything she was proud of.

Everything is not going well enough, and everything is against her.

All in all, natural disasters and man-made disasters can't be avoided, but she is tenacious enough.

In any case, she can think and know that things will always be solved tomorrow, if not better, it will not be worse.

The old lady was weak, shouldering the burdens and responsibilities that should have been borne by men, and shouldering everything that should not have been borne at that age.

However, in her life, Scarlett resisted all the sufferings given to her by the world with her tenacity, and she has been constantly fulfilling her dreams in suffering.

She is an omnipotent Scarlett, relying on herself from beginning to end.

Dare to resist the world

Scarlett's life is full of ups and downs. She has been pursuing and missing all her life.

All her changes began with that war. Before the war, she was a wayward and delicate young lady. After the war, she became a fighter who constantly struggled with difficulties and did not give in to fate.

And I love and hate this wayward, selfish, passionate, self-centered, strong and unyielding girl.

She is so real that she is herself from beginning to end.

This is a great thing.

Perhaps she is a "bad" woman in everyone's mouth, but she doesn't care, as long as she can get what she wants-she can't bear to go hungry.

Scarlett is 100% herself and knows what she wants from beginning to end, no matter whether she is beautiful or embarrassed.

Her life is full and full of energy, without any regrets.

Only she knows how much she has suffered.
