Gone with the Wind tells the story of the heroine Scarlett O 'Hara growing from an inexperienced girl to a mature and independent woman in the context of the American Civil War. What is precious is that Scarlett has never been a perfect woman. On the contrary, she is selfish and will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. But at the same time, she is also very attractive. Because no matter what difficulties she encounters, Scarlett will always hold hope and be brave and strong.
No.65438 +0 For love, she is persistent, firm and self-centered.
Although Scarlett is smart, beautiful and sought after, the only person she deeply likes is the gentle Ashley. Ashley, on the other hand, was afraid to be with her because of her cowardice. Ashley was attracted by Scarlett's beauty and enthusiasm, but at the same time worried that they were not suitable, so she refused Scarlett. This makes Scarlett very painful. Scarlett, ignorant and naive, doesn't know how to relieve her inner pain. In order to save her self-esteem, she impulsively and quickly married Ashley's fiancee's brother. Because it can save his face, not be laughed at by the female friends around him, and let Ashley know that Scarlett is not so rare to him.
Let's not discuss whether she is right or wrong, because the author has created an imperfect heroine with many shortcomings and deviant behaviors, and what she has done is not easy to judge by simple right or wrong. Looking at everything dialectically, we can easily find that Scarlett is a person who attaches great importance to herself. She didn't lose herself because of so-called love. Her first thought was to consider maintaining her self-esteem. She always puts herself first, stubborn and firm. Once a decision is made, anyone's persuasion is useless. She is strong and decisive. In fact, she didn't know what she really loved at that time. She is just a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn't know herself.
Scarlett has been stubbornly in love with Ashley, in a simple way, as if the little girl likes her inner hero. And in order to promise Ashley to take care of his wife, she didn't leave Melanie to escape alone in the war. Instead, I got up the courage to help her deliver the baby and took her back to her hometown Tara. She bravely assumed her feelings and responsibilities and firmly fulfilled her promise.
Scarlett's love for Ashley lasted until her best friend Melanie died. Only then did she suddenly realize that she had always loved her fantasy, not the actual Ashley. But looking back, Scarlett's love for Ashley is sincere and warm. At the same time, she has always adhered to her dignity, bearing all the sadness and bitterness brought by this love, and has never been imposed on the person she likes, which is too rare. It can be said that she has always been a person with her own, living for herself. Her stubbornness, stubbornness and persistence are unique and unforgettable, although people can't agree with her.
NO.2 hunger, poverty and labor can't make her give in.
When the southern army was losing ground, Scarlett and Ashley's wife Melanie and her party fled back to Tara in the country after all kinds of hardships. They fled the army, war, hunger and fatigue, and finally returned to Tara. I thought I could jump into my mother's arms and let go of all my troubles, fears and fatigue, but I didn't expect that the long-term suffering life really began.
As soon as Scarlett returned to Tara, she found that her mother had just died and her father was insane because of a huge blow, and no one could rely on her. There was nothing to eat at home, and all the food used was either plundered or destroyed by the Yankee army. More than 100 servants also fled, leaving only the wet nurse, father's personal servant and wife, two sisters suffering from typhoid fever and three starving children. They are extremely short of materials, and hunger deeply threatens everyone's life. The situation is terrible, and everything makes Scarlett on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Scarlett was only 19 years old, but she had to bid farewell to her naive girlhood and start taking care of the whole family. Because she knows that she can't be afraid, can't retreat, and can't let her family have no dependence.
So Scarlett pulled herself together and arranged for her family to go out to collect food in various broken gardens, go to the swamp to find the sow and some piglets that had rushed in before, and walk five miles to Twelve Oaks Manor to pick up some lost vegetables. She brought everyone together and became the core of the whole family; She made strict rules, everyone should start working to support themselves, and it is absolutely not allowed to mention the rich life before, which will only increase sadness; She began to learn from a lady Gao how to pick cotton, plow and hoe. She tried every means to make everyone try not to go hungry; She doesn't think about all useless things, and tries to do what she can do now. ...
In this way, life gradually began to get better, and everyone recovered a little bit of anger. No matter how hard it is, at least they can keep on living. Scarlett also became the backbone of the family and led her family through the difficulties.
NO.3 bravely bid farewell to the old life and actively face the new era.
When the war ended, the whole world almost changed dramatically. The former nobles are now poor, and their previous living habits and means of survival cannot be continued, so everything can only be started again. The choices that everyone faces are either actively adapting to the new era or being eliminated by society.
The good old life is gone forever. Some people are sighing, others are escaping, unwilling to face a new life and sinking day by day. They obviously have healthy bodies, smart minds and profound knowledge, such as Ashley, but they have lost the courage to embrace a new life.
But Scarlett, no, although she doesn't have much knowledge, she can't see through current affairs and politics, and she can't figure out what happened to those men. She only cares about the present and the practical things. Whenever she encounters something she can't stand, she always says to herself, "I'll think about it tomorrow, and then I can stand it."
Scarlett has also recalled those who have passed away and the past, recalled the life that will never return, and thought about the hardships of a dark future. But she knows that the past has passed and the dead will not be resurrected. The past lazy luxury is gone forever. So Scarlett made up her mind and decided her own life path. Because there was no way out, she moved on.
She is full of courage and hope at any time, which I'm afraid many men are not as good as her.
NO.4 no matter what she loses, she is the core of her own world.
What is particularly interesting about Scarlett is that no matter what difficulties she meets, she will not be defeated.
As far as love is concerned, Scarlett is not going well. She has been married three times, but the original intention of getting married is for various reasons, not because of love. She always thought she loved Ashley, and her love for Ashley was so stubborn and passionate that it could not be extinguished like a raging fire. But she just can't get it. Not only can she not get it, but she also needs to endure the love and affection of the Ashley couple in front of her eyes. Jealousy and envy drove her crazy. But unlike most people, she can not only bear these, but also take care of the wife of the person she loves.
When she realizes that the person she really loves is Rhett, she may lose him again. Although she was extremely scared, she was able to maintain her self-esteem and keep calm on the surface. She will tell herself not to think about these bad things for the time being. Tomorrow is another day, and she will find a good solution. I have to say that Scarlett's heart is very strong. She is stubborn and strong, proud and stubborn.
As far as career is concerned, it is also full of difficulties. Scarlett, as a young girl who knows nothing but pleasure, took over Tara, which was destroyed, decayed and had nothing. After the war, she still faced huge tax expenditures. To this end, she had to do everything possible. She went to Ashley for help, but there was nothing she could do. She used curtains to make clothes to seduce her host Rhett, and she was even willing to be Rhett's mistress, as long as she could save Tara. Unfortunately, it failed. She even robbed her sister's fiance at all costs, just to get enough money to pay taxes, save Tara and let everyone continue to survive. This time she got what she wanted.
Later, she opened a timber factory, but her husband was honest, honest and not smart, and all the managers she could hire were incompetent. She had to drive alone through dangerous poverty-stricken areas with a pregnant belly, go to the factory to follow up the production progress, and have a heart-to-heart talk with various customers. But she never gives in, always faces all kinds of challenges energetically and never flinches.
Scarlett is selfish by nature, but this does not mean that she has no conscience at all, but her heart is cold and practical. She has a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem, and can even endure all hardships for it. But she never pursues nobility. She only admits what she can feel, and all she wants is to satisfy her enjoyment. It's just that she has her own principles and boundaries.
She is afraid of taking care of sick soldiers who will die at any time and hates war. But when Rhett laughs at the courage and dedication of their soldiers, Scarlett gets angry, too. She is afraid of poverty, hunger and cold, but she will never go to her relatives' house or let her family be snubbed by others. She wanted to put Tara's whole burden firmly around her neck with her own hands. She used to be afraid to watch servants kill animals, but she could shoot Yankee soldiers to protect her home and property.
Scarlett, like most of us ordinary people, can feel the disappointment, depression, anxiety and madness that we can feel. But there is a stronger power in her heart, which makes her put aside these messy feelings and pursue what she wants. Scarlett is so brave and strong, it seems that she can push away all the resistance, keep moving in the direction she wants, and adjust herself from time to time. She has principles, a bottom line and a responsibility. As an imperfect person, she has always been full of hope and fearless.
