Analysis of Gone with the wind from the Perspective of Feminism 从女性主义视角分析《飘》 Abstract As a great master in the modern literary world, American female writer Margaret Mitchell gains a world-wide reputation merely on the strength of her singular work Gone with the Wind. As the first novel which depicts American Civil War from women’s perspective, Margaret focuses on the sufferings from the war of those women who stay at home and their difficult journey of reconstruction. Ever since its publication in 1936, Gone with the Wind has received extensive attention from literary world. Literary critics, on the basis of their respective knowledge and understanding, have given different evaluations about this novel. Most of their researches concentrate on the historical background of American Civil War, the abolitionist thought, Scarlett’s particular characters and the cultural discrepancy between the North and the South. Meanwhile many readers only treat this novel as a simple love story, fascinated by its intricate and moving narration yet neglecting its implicit ideological values. Starting from the feministic perspective, this thesis will elaborate on women’s social status and values, a series of vivid female images, and the relationship between nature and women, thereby to analyze the awakening of female self-consciousness reflected in this novel and its immense and positive effect on the cause of women’s liberation.
