O’Hara(In-Depth Analysis)The novels protagonist.Scarlett is a pretty, coquettish Southern belle who grows up on the Georgia plantation of Tara in the years before the Civil War.Selfish, shrewd, and vain, Scarlett inherits the strong will of her father, Gerald, but also desires to please her well-bred, genteel mother, Ellen.When hardships plague Scarlett, she shoulders the troubles of her family and friends.Scarlett’s simultaneous desire for the Southern gentleman Ashley and the opportunistic New Southerner Rhett Butler parallels the South’s struggle to cling to tradition and still survive in the new era.Rhett Butler(In-Depth Analysis)Scarlett’s third husband, he is a dashing dangerous adventurer and scoundrel.Expelled from West Point and disowned by his prominent Charleston family, Rhett becomes an opportunistic blockade-runner during the war,emerging as one of the only rich Southern men in Atlanta after the war.Rhett proves himself a loving father and, at times, a caring husband.Though he loves Scarlett, his pride prevents him from showing her his love, and it even leads him to brutality.Candid, humorous, and contemptuous of silly social codes, Rhett exposes hypocrisy wherever he goes.He represents postwar society, a pragmatic, fast-paced world in which the strong thrive and the weak perish.Ashley Wilkes(In-Depth Analysis)The handsome, chivalrous, and honorable heir to the Twelve Oaks plantation near Tara.Ashley bewitches Scarlett through most of the novel.After the war, Ashley becomes resigned and sad, and he regrets not marrying Scarlett.Committed to his honor and Southern tradition, he cannot adjust to the postwar South.Ashley represents the values and nostalgia of the Old South.Melanie Hamilton Wilkes(In-Depth Analysis)The frail, good-hearted wife of Ashley Wilkes.Melanie provokes Scarlett’s jealous hatred throughout most of the novel.After two women suffer together through the Civil War, however, a strong bond forms them.Eventually, Scarlett understands that Melanie’s unflagging love and support has been a source of strength for her.Like Ashley, Melanie embodies the values of the Old South, but in
contrast to Ashley’s futile dreaming, Melanie faces the world with quiet but powerful inner strength.Ellen O’Hara(In-Depth Analysis)Scarlett’s mother is born in a descendent of the aristocratic Robillard family.Ellen marries Gerald and devotes herself to running Tara after her father forbids her love affair with Philippe, her cousin.Refined and compaionate, strong and firm, Ellen serves as an impoible ideal for the willful Scarlett.Even after Ellen’s death, Scarlett struggles with the competing desires to please her mother and please herself.Scarlett manages to overcome adversity through brute strength of will.She emerges as a feminist heroine because she relies on herself alone and survives the Civil War and Reconstruction unaided.She rebuilds Tara after the Yankee invasion and works her way up in the new political order, taking care of helple family members and friends along the way.Mitchell suggests that overcoming adversity sometimes requires ruthlene.Scarlett becomes a cruel businewoman and a domineering wife, willingly coarsening herself in order to succeed.Other characters succeed by exercising willpower, among them Old Mi Fontaine, who watched Indians scalp her entire family as a child and then gritted her teeth and worked to raise her own family and run a plantation.Rhett Butler also wills his way to succe, although he covers up his
bullheaded willpower with a layer of ease and carelene.This story figured a lady who was fortitudinous.But the society made her play hard, and her personality distorted.She only cared for money, and she didn't care about other people's feeling.When she finally regretted, Butler’s patience had been replenished.In addition, Scarlet had a tag,“ Tomorrow is another day.”This showed that she was optimistic.When Butler left her, she also said, “Tomorrow is another day.” This sentence gave her courage, and made her feel much better.Maybe we should learn this point from her.No matter how difficult our life is, just faces it optimistically, and tomorrow would be another day.When I read out the book, my heart was full of sorrow, Scarlett was a plain girl, but what she did was not plain.She didn’t stay silent in the war time, her own world was changed by herself struggle.In fact ,many people lost what they have like Scarlett ,but they all gave up to strive for the happine that eentially belonged to them.Scarlett have the bravene to change the old rule.What she finally have is the consequence of her own effort.Another character that I love most is Melanie ,she is so kind-hearted ,she always stand in the side of others ,in my heart ,she is the embodiment of kindne.At last I want say maybe god wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we
will know how to be grateful.
