浅析《飘》中斯嘉丽的人物性格

摘要

《飘》是美国最受欢迎的小说之一，由美国女作家玛格丽特.米切尔所创作。

一出版就在世界文坛引起巨大轰动，销量打破了美国出版界的多项记录并得到了广泛流传，成为了一部经典之作。

作为第一部从南方女性角度叙述美国内战的小说，玛格丽特着重描写了留在后方家里的妇女饱受战乱之苦的体验和感受以及战后立志重建家园的艰辛历程尤其是女主人公斯嘉丽的性格特征给读者留下了深刻印象。

斯嘉丽·奥哈拉的性格是小说中最受争议、最复杂的。

小说以女主人公斯嘉丽·奥哈拉纷乱纠结的爱情和人生经历为主线，为我们呈现了一位美国内战时期不一样的女性形象。

这篇论文主要通过不同战争阶段以及三次婚姻来对小说《飘》中主人公的性格进行分析。

她是一个反叛、坚强、不屈服，但又虚荣、贪婪、自私的伟大女性。

她同时具备女性和男性性格，是一个矛盾、富有争议的女人。
