When it was published, its sale broke many records among the publishing circles; its famous all over the world and also won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize in fiction.Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta where she always heard about many stories about the war between the northern and southern states in American. Then, when she was wounded in home, she determined to write a book about the war.The novel Gone with the Wind was set during the times of the Civil War in Atlantic.In this novel, different kinds of love appearing at that time, a love contrasted with the background of the harsh Civil War and rough Reconstruction after the war, flowered passionately and faded abruptly.Gone with the Wind has always been regarded as one of the most classic love stories inAmerican literature. The work, Gone with the Wind, presents the social turmoil in American Civil War.It describes the life conditions in the Old South before the war and the struggle people do in order to survive during the process of reconstruction after the war.So readers can also get genera1 understanding about the local conditions and customs, social fashion, religion and faith and so on at that time in America.On the eve of American Civil War, the heroine Scarlett, daughter of a Southern planter, only cares about capturing Ashley, whom she loves in her heart, but who will be engaged with another woman.At that moment, the only thing she wants to do is trying to recapture Ashley.However, along with the wars aggravation, the lifestyle of the cotton kingdom built by the whole south collapsed.Scarlett begins her struggle against the hardship.During this process, she does not give up the strong emotion to Ashley and cherishes her fantasy love to support her in overcoming every difficulty and crisis.And her obstinacy makes her always blind to Rhett, who keeps to her side and loves and cares her every minute.At the last moment, she knows the truth and gets clear recognition about his inner feeling after all.But it is too late.She loses everythingthe man she loves and the man who loves her as well as her only friend. Gone with the Wind has won the worlds largest audience for its pathos and delicate style.Since it was published, it had been among the forefront of the worlds best-selling book, sales second only to the Bible, but the position in literary history was not so high. Now there are more and more people addressing themselves to study it from many perspectives. Firstly, there are some essays about the relationship between Margaret Mitchell and her works.Anne Edwards (1983) wrote a book on Margaret Mitchells life.The book presents readers with the real language and the real thoughts of Margaret, which will help people to deconstruct the false legends about Margaret Mitchell. Carolyn Gage (1997) described a true-life Mitchell who suffered great grief after her fiancs death and then got flash marriage to a bootlegger which took her little happiness.And later, even though she enjoyed a fast pace of life, she could not escape the stigma of her gender.So when Mitchell reinvested herself in the novel, she rewrote life the way she thought it should have been, and therefore, she created a right man instead of the dashing and sexually charismatic alcoholic.In this way, Gage concluded that Mitchells writing purpose was to reveal the delusion of female life and escape from her shadowy preceding life, so Gage appealed that females should not live in dream under the patriarchal society, but took Scarlett for example, to live in present and pursue what they needed. Secondly, female consciousness of tomorrow catches peoples attention.Luo Minyu (2005) thought that Gone with the Wind had three aspects and considered Scarletts consciousness of tomorrow as a kind of expectation: the first was to expect the freedom of life and equality between men and women, the second was to look forward to a peaceful world and happy homeland, and the third one was to expect a pure and true love. Thirdly, another popular topic is the comparison between Scarlett OHara and some females in other works, such as Jane Eyre or Wang Xifeng.Liang Yaru (2006) compared Scarlett OHara with Jane Eyre.Both Scarlett and Jane were brave, strong-minded, independent and rebellious against the restrictions which set against the females by the society of their own time.Moreover, many scholars focused their attention on the comparison and contrast of Scarlett with Wang Xifeng.Zhai Xu (2007) compared Scarlett and Wang Xifeng and thought that they were a typical paragon of feminism who possessed the awareness of womens awakening.Huang Lintao (2008) compared the tragic marriages of the two heroines of Wang Xifeng and Scarlett from A Dream of Red Mansions and Gone with the Wind.They both have similar characters, as they live in different time; the causes of their marriages are different.Wang Xifengs tragic marriage is a typical social tragedy while Scarletts is individual. Fourth, a majority of professors analyzed the novel from the perspective of feminism. Both Gu Shaoyang and Wang Yanli (2003) acclaimed the novel was a great one, not only because it reflected females self-awareness, especially after the war broken out and women had to go out to realize their economic independence, but also because it confirmed womens contribution to the society, praised their fraternity, selflessness and rebellious spirit, and revealed the belief that women should be liberated from families.Wu Shijuan (2006) and Xie Jingzhi (2005) also thought that Scarlett was a heroic female since she dared to break the traditional prejudice that “females are inferior to males”.She was brave enough to walk out of the house and entered into the “patriarchys world” and competed against the men for her economic independence.Liu Xiaoyong (2003) pointed out that Scarlett was increasingly maturing and in the end she became a Southern new woman with strong feminist leanings along with the advance of war and industrialization. Besides, some critics tried to analyze the novel from the perspective of eco-feminism, which studied the close relationship between female and nature.This is a most novel and interesting way to analyze the book.The Eco-feminists point out that nature and females are intertwined and closely related.Cao Peihong (2007) focused on the links between nature and women.She generalized that the links cover three aspectsthe symbolic, experiential and the status.Then she discussed in detail about their mutual dependence“females were caretakers of nature while nature was the haven for females.”Based on the exploration of Gone with the Wind in detail, Cao attempted to study the close relationship between nature and females, which were mutually complementary, represented, symbolized, dependent on and supported in Gone with the Wind to enrich and expand the study. In addition, there are many experts and scholars who analyze the marriages and love in this novel, especially analyzing the view on marriage and love and character analysis of Scarlett in Gone With The Wind. 1. ScholarsStudies on the Marriage and Love in Gone With The Wind The subject of marriage has been involved many times in Gone with the Wind.The characters marriages develop the story to some extent.Different views on marriage reveal different personalities, and display the charactersdifferent class natures as well. Wang Jian (2007) thought that Gone with the Wind reflected the changes in all aspects of the social revolution period.And the difference in marriage is a performance of the characters, and at the same time, it also reflects the people of different classes and different ranks. Scarlett is the representative of the emerging bourgeoisie and she seeks material benefits; Rhett stands for the compromised and he pursues the perfect life; Ashley and Melanie who represent the old power are addicted to the fantasy of the old world. Bing Wen (2005) specially wrote an article on Scarlett, Gone With The Wind-A Course Of Scarletts Love.The author gave a whole portrait of Scarletts love.The whole novel is a course of Scarletts love pursuit.It is her deep love for Ashley, Tara and Rhett respectively that supports her to pull through the difficulties, and it is the very deep love for her land and for the men she loves which pushes her to live on bravely.These positive elements rooting in her character continuously influence the women in the twentieth century. 2.Studies on the Character of Scarlett in Gone with the Wind The studies in China about Scarlett are quite mature.Scholars appreciate it from different aspects. In these works, there are so many analyses about the characteristics of Scarlett.Zhu Fang (2010) wrote An Analysis Of Scarletts Character In Gone With The Wind.There are three parts to analyze the features and reasons of Scarletts complex character.The figure of Scarlett is real and vivid and the image of Scarletts portrayed by the author.The figures character is real and full of appeal, and that is enough to prove that Gone with the Wind is a masterpiece, charming and valuable. On American Spirit From Scarlett (Yang Yujie the female consciousness of tomorrow in this novel; the comparison between Scarlett OHara and some females in other works; the study from the perspective of feminism; the study on Gone with the Wind according to the eco-feminism; the view on marriage and love in Gone with the Wind; the character analysis of Scarlett in Gone With The Wind.Based on the previous study, the thesis will focus on the love view in the Gone With The Wind.
