关于主人公的英文简介
答案
涓変釜涓昏?瑙掕壊鐨勪粙缁岦br/>Scarlett O鈥橦ara
The protagonist of Gone with the Wind,Scarlett is a dark-haired,green-eyed Georgia belle who struggles through the hardships of the Civil War and Reconstruction.Scarlett exhibits more of her father鈥檚 hard-headedness than her mother鈥檚 refined Southern manners.Although initially she tries to behave prettily,her instincts rise up against social restrictions.Determination defines Scarlett and drives her to achieve everything she desires by any means necessary.This determination first manifests itself in her narcissistic and sometimes backstabbing efforts to excite the admiration of every young man in the neighborhood.Later,under threat of starvation and even death,she is determined to survive and does so by picking cotton,running her entire plantation,forging a successful business,and even killing a man.
Scarlett also aims to win Ashley Wilkes,and her failure to do so guides the plot of the novel.Ashley鈥檚 marriage to Melanie Hamilton and rejection of Scarlett drive nearly all of Scarlett鈥檚 important subsequent decisions.Scarlett marries Charles Hamilton to hurt Ashley,stays by Melanie鈥檚 side through the war because she promises Ashley she will,and loses her true love,Rhett Butler,because of her persistent desire to win Ashley.
Scarlett possesses remarkable talent for business and leadership.She recovers her father鈥檚 plantation,Tara,after the war leaves it decimated,and she achieves great success with her sawmill in Atlanta.Despite her sharp intelligence,however,she has almost no ability to understand the motivations and feelings of herself or others.Scarlett lives her life rationally:she decides what constitutes success,finds the most effective means to succeed,and does not consider concepts like honor and kindness.She often professes to see no other choices than the ones she makes.
Scarlett鈥檚 development precisely mirrors the development of the South.She changes from spoiled teenager to hard-working widow to wealthy opportunist,reflecting the South鈥檚 change from leisure society to besieged nation to compromised survivor.Scarlett embodies both Old and New South.She clings to Ashley,who symbolizes the idealized lost world of chivalry and manners,but she adapts wonderfully to the harsh and opportunistic world of the New South,ultimately clinging to dangerous Rhett,who,like Scarlett,symbolizes the combination of old and new.
Rhett Butler
Dark,dashing,and scandalous,Rhett Butler brings excitement to Scarlett鈥檚 life and encourages her impulse to change and succeed.Thrown out of both West Point and his aristocratic Charleston family for dishonorable behavior,Rhett,like Scarlett,goes after what he wants and refuses to take 鈥榥o鈥 for an answer.He earns his fortune through professional gambling,wartime blockade-running,and food speculation,behavior that earns him the contempt and even hatred of what he terms the Old Guard鈥攖he old Southern aristocracy.Rhett sees through hypocrisy and self-delusion,horrifying people by cutting down their egos and illusions with agility and pleasure.
Whereas Ashley cannot face reality and change,Rhett thrives on both.Because of his opportunism,Rhett symbolizes the New South.However,as the novel progresses,we see that Rhett does care about the Old South.At two critical points in the novel,Rhett abandons Scarlett to commit himself to the Old South.First,he leaves Scarlett in hostile territory and joins the Confederate army.Second,at the end of the novel he leaves Scarlett and goes in search of remnants of the Old South.This sentimentality complicates Rhett鈥檚 character and reveals that he is partially motivated by emotion.Ultimately,Rhett symbolizes pragmatism,the practical acceptance of the reality that the South must face in order to survive in a changed world.He understands that the U.S.government has overhauled the Southern economy and that the old way of life is gone forever.He adapts to the situation masterfully,but he does not fully abandon the idealized Southern past.
Rhett falls in love with Scarlett,but,despite their eventual marriage,their relationship never succeeds because of Scarlett鈥檚 obsession with Ashley and Rhett鈥檚 reluctance to express his feelings.Because Rhett knows that Scarlett scorns men she can win easily,Rhett refuses to show her she was won him.He mocks her,argues with her,and eventually resorts to cruelty and indifference in order to win her.But his fondness for her is evident in his support of her,as he encourages her to shun social customs and gives her money to start her own business.
Ashley Wilkes
Blond,dreamy,and honorable,Ashley Wilkes is the foil to Rhett鈥檚 dark,realistic opportunism.Ashley courts Scarlett but marries Melanie Hamilton,thus setting in motion Scarlett鈥檚 central conflict.Ashley is the perfect prewar Southern gentleman:he excels at hunting and riding,takes pleasure in the arts,and comes from an excellent family.
Scarlett鈥檚 idealization of Ashley slowly fades as time goes on,and she finally sees that the Ashley she loves is not a real man but a man embellished and adorned by her imagination.Ashley admits to his love for Scarlett,but as a gentleman he ignores this love in order to marry Melanie,the more socially appropriate match for him.He excels at battle despite his doubts about the Southern cause.As the novel progresses,though,Ashley displays signs of weakness and incompetence.After the war he is worthless on the plantation and cannot adjust to the new world.Whereas Rhett and Scarlett survive by sacrificing their commitment to tradition,Ashley cannot or will not allow himself to thrive in a changed society.He sinks even lower as he sacrifices his honor鈥攖he only thing he still values in himself鈥攂y accepting charity from Scarlett in the form of a share in her mill and by kissing her twice.
Ashley represents the Old South and Southern nostalgia for the prewar days.He epitomizes the old lifestyle and cannot function in the New South that emerges during and after the war.Scarlett clings to him like many Southerners cling to dreams of their old lives,but her eventual recognition of Ashley鈥檚 weakness and incompetence enables her to see that dreaming of a lost world makes one weak.
