内容摘要

本文立足小说《乱世佳人》中女主人翁斯佳丽这一人物形象，从性格和命运的视角出发，通过分析斯佳丽自身性格对其命运的影响展示斯佳丽丰富的人生。

斯佳丽是一个典型的由旧庄园主阶级向新型的资产阶级转变的人物形象，这注定了她性格的多元性.本文首先会分三部分分别呈现出斯佳丽的三个主要性格：

坚强，独立和个人主义，有责任感并值得信赖。

接着将会分析斯佳丽性格和命运之间的相互影响。

这个部分主要通过斯佳丽的经历进行分析：

一.她有敢于面对现实，不向命运低头，坚强不屈的精神，这使她在战乱中她决定返还家园承担起整个家庭的重担，与命运抗衡，不怯懦，不退缩,逐渐走向成熟。

二.她自私自利唯利是图，为达目的不择手段。

她是一个个人主义者，自私，虚荣直接导致了她的三次有目的性的婚姻。

三.她信守承诺值得信赖,这种性格使她为了信守对阿希礼的承诺，在任何时候都没有放弃对自己情敌梅兰妮的援助。

“明天将会是崭新的一天”是她对生活积极进取的最好表白，也是她对命运生生不息的诠释。
