Scar is watching over money, over not letting the people of Tara starve anymore, over Hilly's love, over dreams that have been broken, and over growing up.
Reid watches over Scarlett, and little Bonnie, the continuation of her life, and all the love a man can give a woman.
Shirley watches over the past, over a time that is gone with the wind.
Melan watches over love, love for everyone, love for Atlanta, love for life, she watches over her husband and her son, and she watches over the day when Hilly will truly stand up.
Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind" has been a favorite among readers because of its uniquely female perspective on the American Civil War. Although there is also a magnificent description of the war scenes, such as Atlanta on the day of the breakthrough of the Pentagon Square, the wounded soldiers, thrilling escape, shooting and so on. But the female writer is always a delicate character psychological character portrayal, a colorful literary characters in the author's smooth text role, jumping on the paper, vivid. Horizontally, the book is a history of the decline of the old southern plantation civilization, the history of a generation's growth and struggle; and vertically, the book seems to be a mournful psychodrama, with the power of the drama to reveal the heroine in the process of maturity in the conflict with the inner. So watching Gone with the Wind is like walking into a primeval forest, the deeper you go, the more beautiful it is.
Perhaps, the literary character can be described by the color of reality, to describe, then, to give Sijia, black perseverance;
Reid, ice-blue depth; Meilan, pink goodness; Hili, green-gray melancholy.
Sijia's fortitude has always been one of the book's highlights, given its black color, because black has a pure side, such as Sijia's faith in the ultimate firmness of life; black also has a vague side, such as Sijia's confusion running in the night fog, because she has not been able to see the object of true love.
Scar is by no means a perfect woman. But she is charming beyond what the law allows. She is strong, confident and passionate about life, yet mean, superstitious, bullies the weak and unintentionally sends a few people to their deaths. But it is this mixed characterization that makes her all the more fascinating. No one is perfect in reality, and the same should be true in literature. In that stormy and chaotic world, can be doubly traumatized and after the blow, do not stay in the previous luxurious and elegant life, strong stand up, down to the ground picking cotton, at the expense of their own delicate hands calloused, but the purpose is only to let the people living in Tara is not starving. She gained black fortitude in the red soil of Tara, a world where, as her father, Hao Jiale, said, only the land is with the sun and the moon. This powerful force coupled with the potentially rebellious mindset of her inherent Irish blood makes her do what she wants, not caring what others think or see, not caring about moral strictures, openly doing business in Atlanta with the Yankees who destroyed their homes, without caring that Frank, as her husband, would be left without a place to live. So Scarlett is selfish, but her selfishness is not just based on being selfish, she is selfish for many people, for Tara's dozen or so mouths that need to eat, for the man she loves and his wife and children, for Aunt White Butterfly, the distant aunts, and even for Tara's former Negroes, Scarlett's selfishness favors many people at the time when setbacks hit her, and she has had numerous disappointments, but never despaired. As old Mrs. Fontaine said, they were caper wheat, when the wind blew, they bowed their heads, bent their backs, and when it blew over, they stood up again and went on to receive the sunshine better. Always having the courage to stand up, head held high, and accept the storm. And what supports her to do so is only a perfect dress shrouded in a golden halo, a vain soul, a stubborn and obstinate faith. Scarlett's obsession with love is her unbreakable faith throughout her life. In order to fulfill her promise to Hilly, she insists on caring for her love interest, Hilly's wife, a pregnant woman about to give birth, when Atlanta becomes a sea of fire. She could have stayed by her mother's side, seeking care and safety, but she did not, she preferred to face the iron hooves of the Yankees, but also to fulfill the promise of love, in order to take care of the weak Meilan, she gave Meilan the food that she had found by all means, the only pair of shoes in the house to Meilan to wear, and she herself went down to the ground picking cotton barefoot and hungry, which is by no means a selfish and narrow-minded woman to reach the realm. She possesses an absolute faith in love, but just got the wrong object in the journey of watching over love.
Reid said Scarlett was like a child crying for the moon, Christine giving up the happiness in her hands, and was capricious, stubborn and dead set on not looking back, and I think in the zodiac she must have been a Leo.
It's just that Scarlett, in her obsessive pursuit of the "perfect dress," doesn't realize that even the air around Reed is filled with the pursuit and love of her boundless happiness. So she could only watch as Reed, exhausted by her stubbornness, left in disgrace. But she'd also finally matured enough to know what she really wanted, and as far as she was concerned, what she wanted, she was going to get. "Tomorrow is another day!" I'm waiting for Scarlet to get the power from Tara again and for Reed to come back to her once more. I liked the ending, not a happy one, with a touch of light sadness, but not quite a tragedy, because there was hope present, in Scarlet's heart, and in ours.
For Sijia, the real meaning of her life is to have desire, she never knows how to be satisfied, and can not be satisfied. Learning to be satisfied is a blasphemy to her life, and heralds the withering of the flower of life. She is only able to keep pursuing and hunting for the next goal, the earliest of which is love, keeping watch over Hilly; then food and clothing, keeping watch over money; then Hilly again, and finally Reed, her true love, which she has just realized. So Scarlett is not destined to know in advance that her true love is Reed, but must realize it only after the untimely death of her beloved daughter, after the death of Meilan, and after Reed has to leave because of his utter disappointment. Life seems to have played an incomparable joke on her, yet it is real, and she needs to pay the heaviest price for her obstinacy
and capriciousness, and after everything has drifted away with the wind, Sijia matures. Gone with the Wind is a history of Sijia's
growth.
Reid is ice-orchid, the color of the outermost layer of the flame, the junction of fire and ice. I love his obsession, and I love that he left in the end, "I'd rather be dead than alive". He did it all so perfectly that it got people talking.
Reid was also far more charming than the law allowed. The lingering, slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth was
his gold standard. It was as if he was forever coldly watching the bureau
persons rampaging through the maze with an out-of-the-way gaze. So he has his good reasons for his mockery. He doesn't care about social constraints, moral codes, he lives only for himself
and values only his results, not the process. So he could love the Yankees for their shrewdness, but from the bottom of his heart he couldn't
look up to their greed and meanness; he mocked those patriotic aspirants who joined the army with passion, but after the fall of Atlanta, the South was doomed to lose the war, leaving behind their loved ones, and resolutely enlisted in the army. He had been a student at the great West Point
so he joined the artillery company straight away. He was always so sensible and calm. While all the people
were indulging in the fantasy that the South could
win big, he clearly realized that this was a war without doubt, and that the North's armament was too powerful. And the South would only be blindly nightmarish. When the war began, he made a national fortune, flaunting himself around in extremely elaborate gentleman's garb while Southern society was being destroyed and everyone was destitute. While gambling at cards with the Yankees who watched over him, he remained voluble and humorous, although the next moment he could have been under their knives. He saves the lives of a dozen Klansmen, but by highly dishonorable means. He loves Scarlet y, but cannot let her know it, for he knows best that Scarlet is a capricious and domineering lioness who will swing a whip over the heads of those who love her. He knows Sijia best, more than Sijia herself, and is the only one who can continue to love Sijia even after knowing her clearly
They are too much alike, they are both mules, neither a lady nor a gentleman, but they can live their lives because they are practical and live for the reality. Love to see the way he can exasperate the eloquent Scarlet into speechlessness with a few glib wisecracks, his love just lurks in his sarcasm and mockery of Scarlet, only those who have their hearts in the right place will realize it's a shame that Scarlet isn't a heartthrob to Reed. He loved Scarlett in all the ways a man can think of to love a woman, but she was blind to his love. He waited patiently for Scarlett to realize that he was the one she really needed, but Scarlett's stubbornness left him with no choice. The birth of his beloved daughter, Bonnie Bai, made him transfer his love for Sijia to the little Bonnie, and he would not allow his daughter to be hurt at all, and overindulged in Bonnie. A perfect Scarlett, not destroyed by war or poverty. He reaps love in his daughter, but who would have guessed that great misfortune would befall Bonnie. The untimely death of his beloved daughter drives him to near insanity, he won't even allow Bonnie to be buried, and there is an unbridgeable rift between him and Scarlett. The death of Meilan and Scarlett's obsessive pursuit of the "perfect dress" make him despair, and he decides to leave, ending his spiritual wandering and returning to where he belongs.
Mostly appreciated his "would rather be broken for jade, not for the whole of the tile" concept of love, his love is never through the "second best"
the way to realize, he always stood in the banner of the lion king-like dignity and pride of the golden road! The totem of his life
will always be a living form that will not be bound by worldly rules. But Scarlet was a piece of ice that refused to melt
Ah, and Reed's flaming passion was of no avail. By the time he decided to leave, he and Scarlett were so close, and his heart so far away from hers, that he had broken his heart, and nothing Scarlett could say would
be able to make it right. He had to admit that he had lost to a vain soul when he had embraced the world. But he would never
ever appear as a miserable loser, his charisma was
still unreservedly on display the moment he disappeared between the lines.
Meilan is undoubtedly more pink of all the colors, and being with her is incredibly reassuring because of her kindness.
Han Meilan is a totally good person, and "Gone with the Wind" sings her praises from start to finish. She is a very traditional woman who
loves her husband and son, and cares for and takes care of everyone around her. She was kind-hearted and understanding, thin
weak but never weak. She loved life and was willing to give her share to the Southern community, and at the time of Reconstruction people like her
were regarded as the heart of the South, for with their presence Southern civilization would not be obliterated. She possessed all the virtues that could be found in a
woman, and was the quintessential noblewoman in the eyes of Baird, even though she had no fancy clothes or jewelry
. She is magnanimous and always remembers the good of others, she loves Sijia and appreciates her a hundred times over and never holds a grudge against her for loving
her own husband dearly. Mei Lan is also always sweeping the way for Sijia, no matter how out of the ordinary Sijia does, she always
wracks her brain to excuse Sijia in front of others, even at the expense of breaking with her sister-in-law, she will never allow others to say bad things about Sijia
at the time when the scandal about Hili and Sijia was spreading, she bravely stood at the forefront, with her invisible
wide feathers to salvage both of their reputations, with nothing but kindness in her heart, never feeling like she made much
sacrifice. Though Sijia didn't want to admit it, she ended up believing that in fact, she and Meilan were linked together, and it was impossible for her to
exist separately from Meilan, even though it seemed that she was so strong and Meilan was so weak, and Meilan had been
watchful for that day, the day when Hilary could truly say goodbye to her previous mentality, and stand up bravely to accept the stormy
day.
Meilan's charm is never less than Sijia's, she has always been like Sijia's shadow and side, following Sijia, contrasting Sijia
and protecting Sijia.
Shirley is greenish-gray, belonging only to the era that passes away with the wind, and "Gone with the Wind" seems to be prepared for him, for what passes away will never
come again. He can only be faintly green under the sky of memories.
Wesley is a gentleman, that's what Bradley says about him. Hilly was a tragic task, as kind as Mei Lan was
and possessed a patriotic fervor and a willingness to give his life for the South. In his letter to Mei Lan, it has been revealed that he believes
that the South will lose this war, but he still has no choice but to shed his blood on the battlefield. The war had shattered his dreams, burned
his home, and made it difficult for him to stand up and accept reality. What he retains is not the luxurious life of the South in the past, but
the elegance he once had, and he fantasizes that one day Georgia can be regained in the hands of Southerners, and he loves the original life so much that he always
seems depressed, with the qualities of an ancient Chinese literati. He also wanted to have the same kind of fervent passion for life that Scarlet had, but
couldn't. He is an idealist, a man who simply doesn't belong in a chaotic world, watching over a year
that passes with the wind.
I don't think less of Hilly because of Reed's charisma, first of all, I think Hilly was a fairly rational man, he didn't blow up about the war like
Charles Han and the Tarleton brothers did, and degrade the North without knowing the facts, on the contrary, he
expected that the South would be defeated, and yet he still went to war with a passion thanks to his purely Southern roots. It was not up to him to decide
; secondly, he knew that he would never really stand up for himself if he didn't leave Scarlett's shelter, and he decided to go to New York to work
and to use his talents to carve out his own world; it was Scarlett's selfishness and tolerance, and Meilan's goodness and expectation that made Hilly stay
and there was nothing he could do about it. In short, I think it is the unrefusable hardness of everything that has created the poetic temperament of Xili
in the quagmire of reality, can not be extricated, I sympathize with him more.
Literary character thanks to the reality, Sijia, black perseverance, Reed ice blue depth, Mei Lan pink kindness, Hili
green-gray melancholy, weaving a literary masterpiece & lt; floating & gt;, a colorful dream, a bright dazzling pearl.
