Gone with the Wind

Plot summary

Gone with the Wind takes place in the southern United States in the state of Georgia during the American Civil War (1861–1865) and the Reconstruction Era (1865–1877) that followed the war. The novel unfolds against the backdrop of rebellion wherein seven southern states, Georgia among them, have declared their secession from the United States (the "Union") and formed the Confederate States of America (the "Confederacy"), after Abraham Lincoln was elected president with no ballots from ten Southern states where slavery was legal. A dispute over states' rights has arisen[60] involving enslaved African people who were the source of manual labor on cotton plantations throughout the South. The story opens in April 1861 at the "Tara" plantation, which is owned by a wealthy Irish immigrant family, the O'Haras. The reader is told Scarlett O'Hara, the sixteen-year-old daughter of Gerald and Ellen O'Hara, "was not beautiful, but"[54] had an effect on men, especially when she took notice of them. It is the day before the men are called to war, Fort Sumter having been fired on two days earlier.

There are brief but vivid descriptions of the South as it began and grew, with backgrounds of the main characters: the stylish and highbrow French, the gentlemanly English, the forced-to-flee and looked-down-upon Irish. Miss Scarlett learns that one of her many beaux, Ashley Wilkes, is soon to be engaged to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton. She is stricken at heart. The following day at the Wilkeses' barbecue at "Twelve Oaks," Scarlett informs Ashley she loves him and Ashley admits he cares for her.[60] However, he knows he would not be happily married to Scarlett because of their personality differences. Scarlett loses her temper at Ashley and he silently takes it.

Then Scarlett meets Rhett Butler, a man who has a reputation as a rogue. Rhett had been alone in the library when Ashley and Scarlett entered, and felt it wiser to not make his presence known while the argument took place. Rhett applauds Scarlett for the unladylike spirit she displayed with Ashley. Infuriated and humiliated, Scarlett tells Rhett, "You aren't fit to wipe Ashley's boots!"[60]

Upon leaving the library and rejoining the other party guests, she finds out that war has been declared and the men are going to enlist. Seeking revenge for being jilted by Ashley, Scarlett accepts a proposal of marriage from Melanie's brother, Charles Hamilton. They marry two weeks later. Charles dies from measles two months after the war begins. Scarlett is pregnant with her first child. A widow at merely sixteen, she gives birth to a boy, Wade Hampton Hamilton, named after his father's general.[61] As a widow, she is bound by tradition to wear black and avoid conversation with young men. Scarlett is despondent as a result of the restrictions placed upon her.

Melanie, who is living in Atlanta with Aunt Pittypat, invites Scarlett to live with them. In Atlanta, Scarlett's spirits revive and she is busy with hospital work and sewing circles for the Confederate army. Scarlett encounters Rhett Butler again at a dance for the Confederacy. Although Rhett believes the war is a lost cause, he is blockade running for the profit in it. The men must bid for a dance with a lady and Rhett bids "one hundred fifty dollars-in gold"[37] for a dance with Scarlett.

Everyone at the dance is shocked that Rhett would bid for Scarlett, the widow still dressed in black. Melanie smooths things over by coming to Rhett's defense because he is generously supporting the Confederate cause for which her husband, Ashley, is fighting.

At Christmas (1863), Ashley has been granted a furlough from the army and returns to Atlanta to be with Melanie. The war is going badly for the Confederacy. Atlanta is under siege (September 1864), "hemmed in on three sides,"[62] it descends into a desperate state while hundreds of wounded Confederate soldiers lie dying or dead in the city. Melanie goes into labor with only the inexperienced Scarlett to assist, as all the doctors are busy attending the soldiers. Prissy, a young Negro servant girl, cries out in despair and fear, "De Yankees is comin!"[63] In the chaos, Scarlett, left to fend for herself, cries for the comfort and safety of her mother and Tara. The tattered Confederate States Army sets flame to Atlanta as they abandon it to the Union Army.

Melanie gives birth to a boy named Beauregard, and now they must hurry for refuge. Scarlett tells Prissy to go find Rhett, but she is afraid to "go runnin' roun' in de dahk". Scarlett replies to Prissy, "Haven't you any gumption?"[63] Prissy then finds Rhett, and Scarlett begs him to take herself, Wade, Melanie, Beau, and Prissy to Tara. Rhett laughs at the idea, but steals an emaciated horse and a small wagon, and they follow the retreating army out of Atlanta.

Part way to Tara, Rhett has a change of heart and he abandons Scarlett to enlist in the army. Scarlett makes her way to Tara without him where she is welcomed on the steps by her father, Gerald. It is clear things have drastically changed: Gerald has lost his mind, Scarlett's mother is dead, her sisters are sick with typhoid fever, the field slaves left after Emancipation, the Yankees have burned all the cotton and there is no food in the house.

The long tiring struggle for post-war survival begins that has Scarlett working in the fields. There are so many hungry people to feed and so little food. There is the ever present threat of the Yankees who steal and burn, and at one point, Scarlett kills a Yankee marauder with a single shot from Charles's pistol leaving "a bloody pit where the nose had been."[64]

A long succession of Confederate soldiers returning home stop at Tara to find food and rest. Two men stay on, an invalid Cracker, Will Benteen, and Ashley Wilkes, whose spirit is broken. Life at Tara slowly begins to recover when a new threat appears in the form of new taxes on Tara.

Scarlett knows only one man who has enough money to help her pay the taxes, Rhett Butler. She goes to Atlanta to find him only to learn Rhett is in jail. As she is leaving the jailhouse, Scarlett runs into Frank Kennedy, who is betrothed to Scarlett's sister, Suellen, and running a store in Atlanta. Soon realizing Frank also has money, Scarlett hatches a plot and tells Frank that Suellen has changed her mind about marrying him. Thereafter Frank succumbs to Scarlett's feminine charms and he marries her two weeks later knowing he has done "something romantic and exciting for the first time in his life."[65] Always wanting Scarlett to be happy and radiant, Frank gives her the money to pay the taxes on Tara.

While Frank has a cold and is being pampered by Aunt Pittypat, Scarlett goes over the accounts at

Frank's store and finds many of his friends owe him money. Scarlett is now terrified about the taxes and decides money, a lot of it, is needed. She takes control of his business while he is away and her business practices leave many Atlantans resentful of her. Then with a loan from Rhett she buys a sawmill and runs the lumber business herself, all very unladylike conduct. Much to Frank's relief, Scarlett learns she is pregnant, which curtails her activities for awhile. She convinces Ashley to come to Atlanta and manage the mill, all the while still in love with him. At Melanie's urging, Ashley takes the job at the mill. Melanie soon becomes the center of Atlanta society, and Scarlett gives birth to a girl named Ella Lorena. "Ella for her grandmother Ellen, and Lorena because it was the most fashionable name of the day for girls."[66]

The state of Georgia is under martial law and life there has taken on a new and more frightening tone. For protection, Scarlett keeps Frank's pistol tucked in the upholstery of the buggy. Her trips alone to and from the mill take her past a shanty town where criminal elements live. On one evening when she is coming home from the mill, Scarlett is accosted by two men who attempt to rob her, but she escapes with the help of Big Sam, the former negro foreman from Tara. Attempting to avenge the assault on his wife, Frank and the Ku Klux Klan raid the shanty town whereupon Frank is shot dead. Scarlett is a widow for a second time.

Rhett puts on a charade to keep the men who participated in the shanty town raid from being arrested. He walks into the Wilkeses' home with Hugh Elsing and Ashley, singing and pretending to be drunk. Yankee officers outside the home question Rhett and he tells them he and the other men had been at Belle Watling's brothel that evening, a story Belle later confirms to the officers. The men are indebted to Rhett for saving them, and his Scallawag reputation among them improves a notch, but the men's wives, with the exception of Melanie, are livid at owing their husbands' lives to Belle Watling.

Frank Kennedy lies cold in a coffin in the quiet stillness of the parlor in Aunt Pittypat's home. Scarlett is in a remorseful state. She is swigging brandy from Aunt Pitty's swoon bottle when Rhett comes to call. She tells Rhett tearfully, "I'm afraid I'll die and go to hell," to which Rhett replies, "Maybe there isn't a hell."[19] Before she can cry any further, Rhett asks Scarlett to marry him saying, "I always intended having you, one way or another."[19] Scarlett declares she doesn't love him and doesn't want to be married again. However, Rhett kisses her passionately, and in the heat of the moment she agrees to marry him. One year later, Scarlett and Rhett announce their engagement.

News of the impending marriage is the talk of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Butler honeymoon in New Orleans, spending lavishly. Upon their return to Atlanta, the couple take up residence in the bridal suite at the National Hotel while their new home on Peachtree Street is being constructed. Scarlett chooses a modern Swiss chalet style home like the one she saw in Harper's Weekly, and red wallpaper, thick red carpet and black walnut furniture for the interior. Rhett describes the house as an "architectural horror".[67] Shortly after the Butlers move into their new home, the sardonic jabs between them turn into full-blown quarrels. Scarlett wonders why Rhett married her. Then "with real hate in her eyes"[67] she tells Rhett she is going to have a baby, a baby she does not want.

Wade is seven years old in 1869 when his sister, Eugenie Victoria, named after two queens, arrives in the world. She has blue eyes like Gerald O'Hara and Melanie gives her the nickname, "Bonnie Blue," in reference to the Bonnie Blue Flag of the Confederacy.

When Scarlett is feeling well again, she makes a trip to the mill and talks to Ashley, who is alone in the office. In the conversation with him, she comes away believing Ashley still loves her and is jealous of her intimate relations with Rhett, which excites her. Scarlett returns home and tells Rhett she does not want more children. From then on, Scarlett and Rhett sleep in separate bedrooms, and when Bonnie is two years old, she sleeps in a little bed beside Rhett's bed (with the light on all night long because she is afraid of the dark). Rhett turns his attention towards Bonnie, dotes on her, spoils her, and worries about her reputation when she is older.

Melanie is giving a surprise birthday party for Ashley. Scarlett goes to the mill to keep Ashley there until party time, a rare opportunity for Scarlett to see Ashley alone. When she sees him, she feels "sixteen again, a little breathless and excited."[68] Ashley tells her how pretty she looks, and they reminisce about the days when they were young and talk about their lives now. Suddenly Scarlett's eyes fill with tears and Ashley holds her head against his chest. Then in the doorway of the office Ashley sees standing his sister, India Wilkes. Before the party has even begun rumors of an adulterous relationship between Ashley and Scarlett have started, and Rhett and Melanie have heard the gossip. Melanie refuses to accept any criticism of her sister in-law and India Wilkes is banished from the Wilkeses' home for it, causing a rift in the family.

Rhett, more drunk than Scarlett has ever seen him, returns home the evening of the party long after Scarlett. His eyes are bloodshot and his mood is dark and violent. He enjoins Scarlett to drink with him. Not wanting Rhett to know she is fearful of him, Scarlett throws back a drink and gets up from her chair to go back to her bedroom. But Rhett stops her and pins her shoulders to the wall. Scarlett tells Rhett he is jealous of Ashley and Rhett accuses Scarlett of "crying for the moon"[53] over Ashley. He tells Scarlett they could have been happy together saying, "for I loved you and I know you."[53] Rhett then takes Scarlett in his arms and carries her up the stairs to her bedroom where passion envelops them.

The following morning Rhett leaves town with Bonnie and Prissy and stays away for three months. Scarlett finds herself missing him, but she is still unsure if Rhett loves her, having told her so when he was drunk. She learns she is pregnant with her fourth child.

On the day Rhett arrives home, Scarlett waits for him at the top of the stairs. She wonders if Rhett will kiss her, but to Scarlett's irritation, he does not. He tells her she looks pale. Scarlett tells him she is pale because she is pregnant. Rhett sarcastically asks her if the father is Ashley. She calls Rhett a cad and tells him no woman would want a baby of his. To which Rhett responds, "cheer up, maybe you'll have a miscarriage."[69] At that comment, Scarlett lunges at Rhett, but he side steps and she tumbles backwards down the stairs. She is seriously ill for the first time in her life, having lost her child and broken her ribs. Rhett is remorseful, believing he has killed her. Sobbing and drunk, Rhett buries his head in Melanie's lap and confesses he had been a jealous

cad.

Scarlett, who is thin and pale, goes to Tara taking Wade and Ella with her, to regain her strength and vitality from "the green cotton fields of home."[70] When she returns a healthy woman to Atlanta, she sells the mills to Ashley. She finds Rhett's attitude has noticeably changed. He is sober, kinder, polite and seemingly disinterested. Though she misses the old Rhett at times, Scarlett is content to leave well enough alone.

Now Bonnie is four years old in 1873. A spirited and willful child, she has her father wrapped around her finger and giving into her every demand. Even Scarlett is jealous of the attention she gets from him. Rhett rides his horse around town with Bonnie in front of him, but the household mammy, "Mammy," insists it is not fitting for a girl to ride a horse with her dress flying up. Rhett heeds Mammy's words and buys Bonnie a Shetland pony, whom she names "Mr. Butler," and teaches her to ride sidesaddle. Then Rhett pays a boy named Wash twenty-five cents to teach Mr. Butler to jump over wood bars. When Mr. Butler is able to get his fat legs over a one foot high bar, Rhett puts Bonnie on the pony, and soon Mr. Butler is leaping bars and Aunt Melly'srose bushes.

Wearing her blue velvet riding habit with a red feather in her black hat, Bonnie pleads with her father to raise the bar to one and a half feet. He gives in and raises the bar, warning her not to come crying to him if she falls. Bonnie yells to her Mother, "Watch me take this one!"[71] The pony gallops towards the wood bar, but trips over it splintering the wood. Mr. Butler tumbles to the ground then scrambles to his feet and trots off with an empty saddle. Little Miss "Bonnie Blue" Butler is dead.

In the dark days and months following Bonnie's death, Rhett is often drunk and disheveled, while Scarlett, though deeply grieved also, seems to hold up under the strain. With the untimely death of Melanie Wilkes a short time later, Rhett decides he only wants the calm dignity of the genial South he once knew in his youth and he leaves Atlanta to find it. Meanwhile, Scarlett dreams of love that has eluded her for so long. However, she still has Tara and is determined to win Rhett back, and "tomorrow is another day.

此书名取自恩斯特·道森的诗《sum qualís erambonae sub regnoCynarae》第三段第一句 : "我忘却的太多了，Cynara!随风而去."(原文:I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind).书名的也同样在小说中出现:当思嘉丽为躲避北方军对亚特兰大的轰击,逃回她家族的农场,塔拉.有一个瞬间,她想到:"塔拉还在吗?抑或是它已经随着席卷佐治亚州的风暴而去了呢?"(Was Tara still standing? Or was Tara also gone with the wind which had swept through Georgia?"

1861年4月，美国南北两方的关系已经非常紧张。佐治亚州的男人们都在议论这场无法避免的战争。

但是，16岁的思嘉·奥哈拉（Scarlett·O'Hara）对此毫无兴趣。她心里想的除舞会、郊游之外，还有那群围着她转的崇拜者。当她听说第二天的野外宴会上，艾希礼·威尔克斯将宣布与媚兰订婚时，她心里不觉一震。她一直喜欢艾希礼的绅士风度与他英俊的外表，而且认为自己无论哪方面都比媚兰要强得多，以自己的魅力，肯定能说服艾希礼和她一起私奔。 但在第二天的宴会上，思嘉始终没有找到和艾希礼单独交谈的机会，因为艾希礼一直同媚兰在一起。思嘉是野宴上的焦点，但艾希礼根本没有注意她，这让思嘉很尴尬。出于一种报复

Her mother was dead, her father had lost his mind due to her mother’s death, her sisters were sick with typhoid fever, the field slaves were gone, the Yankees had burned all the cotton and there was no food in the house.

At that time, Scarlett found that she had never loved Ashley, Rhett was the real man she loved with. But she still thought there was hope in her life, because “tomorrow is another day.” Having read the novel, I believed that Scarlett was a simple but very complex figure. On the surface she had kinds of good quality, quiet, good-hearted, full of ability like her mother Aland, but in fact she was strong, brave and calm. At first I thought she was just a beautiful, stubborn and proud princess. She was so beautiful that almost all the young men in the book liked her. She seemed to have become accustomed to dealing within these young men. The war has changed Scarlett, and it also made me have a better understanding toward her. She killed the Yankee at the critical moment, got rid of the poverty and rebuilt Tara. That were all reflected her strong, courage and indomitable. In order to protect her families and industries, she had to get married with Frank Kennedy, which showed her spirit of sacrifice to us. Business established period, her unique talent of the economic helped many persons. In fact, those advantages were very common of traditional women, but it always

been overlooked in the past time. Scarlett was a proud woman after all. I was so deeply shocked by the indomitable spirit of Scarlett when she faced with any difficulties. But I also felt angry with her infatuation attitude to Ashley Wilkes, because I thought that was a waste of time. Rhett Butler loved Scarlett deeply for a long time, but she just enjoy without return. So, at last, Rhett felt disappointed and left Scarlett, what a pity! I found that lots of people have done such stupid things before. So, I really hope that every girl can found their true love. And when we got in trouble, we ought to stay calm, be brave and strong, we must believe that everything will go well.

篇三：Gone with the wind读后感英文版

Gone with the wind

Having read the novel Gone with the wind written by America writer Margaret Mitchell, I was deeply shocked .The novel ,which Margaret Mitchell spent about ten years on, not only created a myth, but also show her own personal opinion to the world. The novel’s background is based on the civil war, which happened in the United States. According to the changes of the civil war stars the circumstances, so it has divided the macro history into micro history of personal experience. We can realize that the thinking of Margaret through characters changes of people.

GONE WIITH THE WIND is a famous story, which main character is Scarlett who is the oldest daughter of a reach man. Scarlett grew in a soft and sweet environment .Her childhood is full of happiness and freedom, but at the age of sixteen, the world of her life began to change. At the bottom of her heart, she loved Ashley very much! Then news came that Ashley would be married with Melanie, she felt surprised and even couldn’t accept the fact. With the psychology of revenging Ashley, Scarlett married to Melanie’s brother before the day Ashley wedding. With the development of the war, many young man died，including Scarlett’s husband. Scarlett can’t stand the boring life as a widow. At the same time Ashley also joined the army, so his wife Melanie invited Scarlett to the home of Charles’s aunt. Without more consideration, Scarlett left for Atlanta with her little son. For the change of environment, Scarlett felt a little better. Much to her happiness, Charles left a large amount of heritage, for the more and more relationship between the north and south, women in Atlanta were mobilized to support the war. One time the hospital holds a party to collect contributions. In the party, Scarlett met a strange person, whose name was Rhett. And Scarlett still remembered that he was just the person who had known her love to Ashley. Rhett invited Scarlett to have a dancing though she was criticized by all the women around her, she still accepted the invitation. After the case, Scarlett became more and more open to things around her. The war was terrible, but it also gives Scarlett a chance to fight with the old custom. Ashley came back from the battlefield for one week. Scarlett made up her mind to tell Ashley her true feeling, but rejected by Ashley

once again. Eventually, Scarlett married with Rhett. One years later ，they had a lovely daughter called Bonnie who is beautiful like the young Scarlett. Rhett loves Bonnie very much so that he can do everything for her including change himself it gets along with the people who hate him before. Scarlett is very envy the little Bonnie. But Scarlett still loves Ashley, not Rhett. After Bonnie died, Rhett felt the world began to over. And then he decided to leave. At the same day, Ashley’s wife was dying, too. Talking to Ashley, she eventually found that the man who she really love is Rhett, not Ashley. Ashley is not to be worth love at all.

When I read out the book ，I heart was full of sorrow, Scarlett was a plain girl, but what she did was not plain. She didn’t stay silence in the war, her own world was changed by herself. Scarlett has the braveness to change the old rule. What she finally has is the consequence of her own effort. Another character that I love most is Rhett. He is a man who loves Scarlett very much, no matter what difficulties Scarlett faced, Rhett will always company her and take measures of it. And he always make Scarlett happy because he is a man who known of her clearly. After the Scarlett’s first husband died, he was invited her to dance that made her never upset. When the second husband died, he persuaded her don’t sorrow and went down on his knees to ask Scarlett marry him. What’s more, what I also love character is Melanie, she is so kind-hearted and always stand in the side of others, in my heart, she is the embodiment of kindness.

I’m so deeply shocked by the indomitable spirit of Scarlett facing difficulties. But to attain her ending by hook, I felt offensive, especially the thing what she had done to Melanie. What’s more, I’m so angry with her infatuation attitude to Ashley and her ignorance attitude to Rhett. While the more care Rhett gave to Scarlett, the more joy I got. Nevertheless, at last, Rhett felt disappointment and left Scarlett. In my opinion, everyone has her own desire. Whether the desire is usual or unusual, we need to search for our own happiness. The desire will be a driving force for us. We will pursue our happiness, although there might be some difficulties and disputes, we should not give up our desire. As Scarlett said that， “tomorrow is another day!”

survival, "She brought a promising message to all people .That is

"Tomorrow is another day."

time ,she was just 17 years old .Then Scarlett moved to Atlanta, staying

with Melanie, and met Rhett Butler and had more opportunities to stay

with the man who she loved most .But at that time she didn’t realize

that .

After not a long time, the northern people invaded Atlanta. People in

the city leave Atlanta so did Scarlett .Scarlett decided to return back to

her homeland Tara, with the help of Rhett Butler. Through tough

hardships, they safely arrived Tara. But everything there was all ruined.

The war took all things away from her home .She became a poor woman.

a man to protect her family and herself.

After the south rising up the white flag, she tried her best to work

and made money for her families and Tara. So she got married to

“I'll think of it all to-morrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. To-morrow, I'll

失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他尽在身旁，却犹如远在天边

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile

纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知道谁会爱上你的笑容 Now I find myself in a world which for me is worse than death. A world in which there is no place for me.

现在我发现我自己活在一个比死还要痛苦的世界，一个无我容身之处的世界

Do not cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.

不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经曾经拥有
