摘要
《飘》是美国现代女作家玛格丽特.米歇尔于1936年发表的一部长篇通俗小说。
小说的女主人公斯佳丽被他们描绘成一个极度自私、爱慕虚荣、冷酷无情、为达目的不择手段的女性。
引言简要介绍作者的生平、以及当时的女性主义。
作者玛格丽特.米歇尔是一个具有女性主义意识的女作家。
她在小说中含蓄的批判了美国内战时期的南方妇道观,通过委婉的语言更深刻彻底的揭示出南方妇道观的虚伪、愚昧和对妇女的压抑。
战前、中、后的斯佳丽具体的阐述了主人公是怎样从战前一个自私、任性但又坚强、勇敢的南方贵族千金小姐转变为战时的懂得照顾别人、果敢但又有些残酷的生活上的勇士既而转变为战后的勤劳、有心计、有思想、有远见的南方新女性。
对比部分主要是斯佳丽与媚兰与斯佳丽对比。
斯佳丽与媚兰是小说中性格截然不同的两个女主人公,而不同的性格是她们的人生也大相径庭。
思嘉果断、坚决的性格决定了她奋进的一生,媚兰的宽容、坚韧同样注定了她终生的勤苦。
结论通过全篇总结得出,跟她的三个主要人生经历密不可分,通过对社会背景、人生经历和对比的分析,总结出斯佳丽一如既往的性格和由生活所迫改变了的性格并日益成熟,逐渐的成为有思想、有远见的南方新女性。
