"Gone with the Wind" is a work that American female writer Margaret Mitchell has devoted ten years of hard work to complete, with profound ideological connotations and artistic value. The novel is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and depicts multiple characters with distinct personalities. Scarlett, who is full of youthful vitality, eloquent, sociable, capricious, and even slightly selfish, Red, who is smart, humorous, insightful, smooth yet romantic, Ashley, who is honest, brave, loyal and decisive, and Melanie, who is kind and skilled, all leave a deep impression on people.The one that left the deepest impression on me was the protagonist Scarlett in the novel. She has many advantages and obvious disadvantages. What impressed me the most was when she faced a series of setbacks such as the death of her mother, the mental disorder of her father, and the almost desperate situation of her home. As a young lady who had been pampered since childhood, a powerful force was ignited in her heart. She said, "God is my witness, I will not surrender. I will overcome this difficulty. I will never go hungry again.".No, neither do my family. Even if I were to lie, steal, deceive, kill, as God witnesses, I would never go hungry again In the latter half of the novel, she sacrifices herself for the sake of her family and bravely takes on the responsibility of maintaining the family, demonstrating the resilience and courage of a female character, which I greatly admire. No matter how difficult the situation may be in the depths, I must bravely face it and everything will pass. This is the most meaningful enlightenment Scarlett in Gone with the Wind has given me.
翻译:《飘》是美国女作家玛格丽特·米切尔倾注十年心血完成的一部具有深刻思想内涵和艺术价值的作品。小说以美国南北战争为背景,刻画了多个个性鲜明的角色,充满青春活力、能言善道、善于交际、任性、甚至稍有自私的斯嘉丽,聪明幽默、眼光独到、圆滑又不失浪漫情怀的瑞德,正直勇敢、忠诚果敢的阿希礼,善良娴熟的玫兰妮等,每个人物都给人留下了深刻的印象。
其中给我印象最深的还是小说的主角斯嘉丽,她身上的优点很多,缺点也很明显。让我感触最深的是当她遭遇到母亲去世、父亲精神失常、家园陷入几近绝境等一系列打击之后,作为一个从小养尊处优的大小姐,她内心深处却激发出了一股强大的力量,她说道:“上帝为我作证,我是不会屈服的,我要度过这难关。我再也不要挨饿了。
不要,我的家人也不要。即使让我去撒谎,去偷,去骗,去杀人,上帝作证,我也不要再挨饿了。”在小说的后半部,她为了家人,不惜牺牲自己,坚强地担负起了维护家族的责任,表现出了女性性格中的那种坚韧与勇气,这让我非常敬佩。无论深处多么艰难的境遇,都要勇敢地去面对,一切都会过去,这是《飘》里的斯嘉丽给我最有意义的启迪。
