摘　要

这篇文章主要描述了文学名著《飘》中的女主人公—斯佳丽·奥哈拉，她独特的个性，与小说中其他人物的关系，以及她总是被批判﹑谴责的原因。

wWW..cOM斯佳丽不同于其他贵族妇女，她聪明﹑迷人﹑勤勉并且倔强而坚定。

她共有三次婚姻，枪杀了一名正在家中行窃的北方士兵；后来买下锯木厂，自己为卖木材而四处奔波，最后公然地赚取了很多钱。

在许多绅士还过着贫困潦倒的生活时，她却获得了成功，这是人们认为最不能接受的事情。

她与众

不同，因此被谴责，但却是“旧”时代的“新”女性。

毫无疑问，如果斯佳丽生活在当今社会，她会很幸福，同时也是我们学习的好榜样。

当然，我们不能效仿她的一切；另一方面，当今的评判家应该从怎样在现代社会生存的角度，来对她作出全新的评价。

与众不同，并不意味着该被批判。

关键词

反叛；与众不同；新女性
