Gone with the Wind: A Sweeping Tale of Wartime Passion
This is a textbook , about survival and life, self-improvement and struggle, friendship and love, tolerance and loyalty, many answers can be found in the book.
I’ve seen too many words about Scarlett being brave and strong. I don’t want to be independent. I understand Scarlett, including her arrogance and selfishness, because I understand everything she has encountered, but I don’t want to praise her bravery or strength. Indeed, facing life, she is a warrior. I admire her uncompromising attitude, from the night when she drove a carriage with Melanie, who was pregnant, back to Tara through fire and shells, from the moment she decided to rebuild her homeland even with her own hands. She faced adversity head-on with perseverance, and her whole body shone with energy and courage that could not be captured. At that time, her bravery, strength, and desire for money were all just right. It was a thriving and lovely spirit. But later on, when she was too entangled in shrewd calculations and business gains and losses, she became less cute. In fact, it can be said that she was almost snobbish and selfish, greedy for vanity, and money first, and neglectful of family affection. She was so determined to go all the way north. , until he became a complete realist.
Her bravery and strength, her daring to love and hate, are partly due to her innate Irish ancestry, and a larger part of the reason is due to the pressure of life, war, poverty, hunger, and suffering, which forced her to be realistic... She is very brave and strong, but it is not enough to magnify it into everything we think of her. At least I think it is biased to use such purely complimentary words to describe her. The character she later showed is controversial. If I could only use one word to describe it, I would rather choose a neutral word like realistic.
She is ignorant when it comes to feelings. She has been married three times, but she doesn’t really understand emotions. I can’t bear to say that she is a fool with 0 emotional intelligence. Maybe it can only be like Rhett said, in terms of emotions, she is still just a child. Why not? Only children will always clamor for a pair of beautiful and clear glass slippers even if it does not suit them in the end; only childish behavior will lead them to rush home and break up with their husbands just because of a hot-headed conversation with an old lover. Boundaries to show loyalty; only childishness would think that saying sorry can compensate for the mistakes and harm caused over the years, even if it is a foregone conclusion.
The two most perfect and inclusive characters in the book are Melanie, a seemingly weak but always loyal friend who can fight for her at any time and even against the whole world; and Rhett, a person who understands her completely and loves her with all his heart. She tolerates her man — the former, she despises and is even a little disgusted with, the latter, she enjoys with peace of mind but abuses his love at will. When trampling and hurt accumulate to a point, no matter how deep the love is, it will be exhausted. How pitiful Rhett is, you can never defeat the dream lover of her childhood, because it is a beautiful dream woven in her heart, and how can you defeat a dream, and she, was trapped by the dream How can you see the real world clearly if your eyes are covered? It wasn’t until she lost them both on the same day that she finally woke up, but it was too late. As Rhett said at the end, “When something is broken, it’s broken — I’d rather remember what it looked like at its best than fix it and look at the broken parts for the rest of my life.” Rhett always said It tells the truth so simply and directly.

When the phrase “Tomorrow is another day”, which is regarded as a motto by many people, appears at the end of the article, I realize that it is not an inspiring force. If she faced any suffering in the past, she often used this phrase as her motto. The magic weapon encouraged me and got through it, but this time, I seemed to smell a hint of helplessness: What can I do? It’s so difficult today, let’s wait until tomorrow. From now on, without Ashley blocking her sight, the world will be clearer in front of her eyes. But after losing everything precious, can she get a brand new world?
But fortunately, she is a warrior, an uncompromising warrior. She is still young, and the author has given her so much life experience that we forget that she is actually only twenty-eight years old. There are many possibilities for tomorrow, so she is actually lucky. If all the living beings among us can be twenty-eight years old, If you truly understand this at the age of eight, then your life has just begun.
Ps: Compared with Tomorrow Is Another Day, I like these two paragraphs better: one is Scarlett’s mother’s death and Mrs. Fontaine’s casual words to comfort her. When I saw this, I read the original text and the translation many times. All over, I am convinced that even now it seems to be the truth. “It is very unfortunate for a woman, child, to have to deal with a situation that is worse than what she is likely to encounter because once she has dealt with the worst situation, she has nothing to fear in the future. But if a woman It’s bad if you’re not afraid of anything. You think I don’t understand what you just said — the things you’ve experienced, right? No, I understand it very well. When I was your age…well, yes Yes, as I said, that was fifty years ago. Since then, I have not been afraid of anything or anyone, because I have seen the worst possible situation. And this kind of fearlessness Fear has deprived me of a lot of happiness and brought me a lot of trouble. God intended to make women timid and afraid of things, so a woman who is not afraid of things is always a little abnormal… Scarlett, you should still keep something. Let yourself be afraid — just like keeping something for yourself to cherish…”
Another paragraph is what Rhett and Scarlett said when they were discussing the issue of making money. I like Rhett’s calm and rational mind and insight into problems. and foresight. Scarlett: “I feel like I am rowing a fully loaded boat in a storm. It is not easy to just keep it on the water. How can I care about the things that are not important and the things that it is not a pity to give up? , like decency, and — and that type of stuff, I was so afraid of the ship sinking that I threw away everything that seemed least important.” Rhett: “Self-respect, decency, sincerity, purity, Generosity,” he enumerated cheerfully. “Scarlett, you did the right thing! When the ship is about to sink, these things are important, but look at the friends around you. They either rowed the ship safely to the shore and kept the cargo intact, or I’d rather be wrecked in good condition.” Scarlett: “They’re a bunch of fools,” she said angrily. “Now and then, when I have a lot of money, I will also be a good person like I said, I will be an honest and loyal person. Then I can afford to be an honest person.” Rhett: “ Now you can afford it — — but you are not willing to do it. It is difficult to salvage goods after falling into the water. Even if they are salvaged, they are often damaged beyond recognition and cannot be restored to their original state. I’m afraid you won’t be able to recover them until you think you have the ability to do so. When you fish out the decency, purity, and generosity that have been thrown away, you will find that they have changed a lot in the sea, but I don’t think they have become enriched or novel.”
