A simple analysis of the personality of Scarlette

After reading the novel Gone With the Wind

摘要:

她,勇敢坚强豪放执着,精力充沛积极乐观。是男人们钦慕的对象,也是女人们嫉妒的对象。但是她也心狠毒辣,精于算计,与时代的道德观价值观格格不入。对于爱情,她执着,对于生活,她乐观。本文旨在浅析斯佳丽的人物个性。

Abstract:

She is bold and brave and strong dedication, as well as energetic and optimistic. She is the one that men love, and she is also the one women envy of. But she is also cruel and merciless and skilled in calculating, so,she is out of the moral values of the times tune. For love, she attached, for life, she is optimistic. This article aims to personalize the characters of Scarlett.

About the author and the background:

Margaret Mitchell (1900 ~ 1949), American writer. She was born in the southern United States, Atlanta, Georgia. Her father is a lawyer, former President of the Atlanta Historical Society. Mitchell attended Washington Seminary in Massachusetts, Smith College. Since then, she has served as the local newspaper, "Atlanta Journal" reporter. Then in 1925 she married 约翰马尔什and then devoted herself to writing.

From childhood onwards, we often hear people talk about the Civil War and the bored post-war reconstruction. This is accumulated a wealth of perceptual knowledge in her heart, which then becomes Gone with the Wind, and laid the foundation for the creation. Her childhood was in the southern city of Atlanta, the South American

customs monasteries, where the natural and social environment has become contaminated by the background of Mitchell Evans and the Source of Creation.

Brief introduction of the character:

Scarlette is one of the daughters of MR O’Hara __ the owner of the plantation Tara. Quite different from her other sisters, she is positive, strong, and both calculating, selfish and gainful. She is not as beautiful as we think, in fact, it is her energy and passion that makes her so attractive and charming. Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tar leton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting as tartling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin--that skin soprized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.( Margaret Mitchell,1978: 1)

Although all the boys who see her on the ball will fall in love with her, Scarlett loves Ashley very much, and she believes that he also loves her__ until one day she is told that Ashley will marry his cousin Melanie. She does not believe it, and then at their engage ball, she expresses her feelings to Ashley. But she is refused, and almost at the same time, Rhett ButLer occurs. He also falls in love with this girl. But in order to revenge Ashley , she ignores Rhett and married Charles Hamilton a week after Ashley’s wedding. But weeks later, her husband dies on the battlefield, she becomes a widow with a son. Then her mother dies because of the war, and her best loved Tara

is destroyed by the enemies, what’s more, her father goes mad because of her mother’s death. She is so disappointed and almost despair. All the burden comes to her__ a girl who is beyond 18 years old. She should take care of her father, her sisters and her son and also her Tara. At the same time, she must also take care of Melanie__ the one who she hates but now is about to give birth to a baby, but she must take care

of her, just because she promised Ashley to do that. At the very point, Rhett occurs and he helps her to escape from the surrounded city. In order to rebuild her Tara, she robbed her sister’s lover__ Kennedy Suellan, but he dies in a special task. She becomes a widow again. Then she married Rhett ButLer just to have a comfortable life, but in her heart, she still loves Ashley. Finally, she finds that the one she really loves is Rhett but not Ashley. But it is too late, Rhett is too tired and upset because of her ignorance to him and their beautiful lovely daughter’s death.

The analysis of her personality:

Scarlette is always positive, strong, passionate and full of courage and energy, and at the same time, she is greedy, and vain she loves money and beautiful clothes and jewelry. But she is never relevant to brilliance, she is straightforward and rough, she never understand s Ashley’s beautiful and soulful poets. She is so strong that it seems there is nothing in the world can defeat her. Her mother dies and her father goes mad and her best loved Tara is destroyed in the war, all the burdens come to

her__ because she was the biggest daughter in her family. She stands up quickly after being disappointed , and she does everything herself ,she goes to the field to pick cotton herself and she tears down the curtain and makes a dress herself. Then, after her hard working, she rebuilds her Tara.

We have to acknowledge that Scarlette is a girl with unexpected passion and will. When she comes back to Tara after a very hard journey, everything is destroyed, she decides to rebuild her Tara, but she is so poor that she even doesn’t have a pair of decent shoes, ( Her hands were chilled and she paused to rub them together and to scuff her feet deeper into the strip of old quilting wrapped about them. The soles of her slippers were practically gone and were reinforced with pieces of carpet. The carpet kept her feet off the floor but did little to keep them warm.)( Margaret Mitchell,1978: 471)and there are always something or someone stop her."Miss Scarlett, I sure hate to bother you with more trouble when you've had your share but

I've got to tell you. They say you ought to paid lots more taxes than you did.

They're runnin' the assessment up on Tara sky high--higher than any in the County,

I'll be bound." ( Margaret Mitchell,1978: 495) but she can always finds methods to

solve them one by one, she cut the curtain to make herself a dress, and then went to Atlanta to borrow money ___ although she has a bad plan, and her mother does not let her go all by herself, she make up her mind to go and she does it. In fact, it is the hardship that makes her so strong and so calculating and so gainful.

Towards love, Scarlette is never afraid of expressing her love for Ashely, and she believes that Ashely also loves her ___ although Ashely gets married with Melanie. After being refused by Ashely, she marries to Charles, whom she does not love at all, just in order to revenge Ashely. After her husband died , she robs her sister’s lover Kennedy Suellan in order to save Tara. She marries Rhett ButLer just to have a comfortable life. But in her inner heart, nobody can instead of Asheyly, she is so persistent, passionate and never regret. But in fact, it is her endless love for Ashely that makes Rhett ButLer leave her alone, and she finally understands, but it is too late. Her love for Ashely is pure and selfish, she can do anything for him she can even give up her best loved Tara if he wants to; she can do the rough works but Ashely can not! At the sight of Ashley in rags, with an axe in his hand, her heart went out in a surge of love and of fury at fate. She could not bear to see him in tatters, working, her de bonaire immaculate Ashley. His hands were not made for work or his body for anything but broadcloth and fine linen. God intended him to sit in a great house, talking with pleasant people, playing the piano and writing things which sounded beautiful and made no sense whatsoever. (Margaret Mitchell, 1978:469).

It is very hard to give her a fair and proper comment, because she has the different impression on different people. But she is the one that will remain in the heart of the people who have read the book or watch the film.

英国文学选读一考试大题必备 重点题目分析(人物分析 诗歌分析 三大主义)

Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,

一 I heard the merry grasshopper then sing, The black-clad cricket bear a second part, They kept one tune, and played on the same string, Seeming to glory in their little art. Shall creatures abject thus their voices raise? And in their kind resound their maker’s praise, Whilst I, as mute, can warble forth no higher lays? “Under the cooling shadow of a stately Elm, Close state I by a goodly River’s side, Where gliding streams the Rocks did overwhelm; A lonely place with pleasures dignifi’d. I once that lov’d the shady woods so well, Now thought the rivers did the trees excel, And if the sun would ever shine there would I dwell. “While musing thus with contemplation fed, And thousand fancies buzzing in my brain, The sweet tongu’d Philomel percht o’er my head, And chanted forth a most melodious strain, Which rapt me so with wonder and delight, I judg’d my hearing better than my sight. 题目:the 9th of Contemplations 作者:Anne Bradstreet 赏析: 1. Rhyme royal: sevenline iambic petametre 七行五步抑扬格 2. Rhyme: ababccc 3. Theme: religion 4. 象征:black-clad=death; abject=admitting defeat; maker= god 5. A genuine expression of poetic feeling in the presence of nature. The poem offers the reader an insight into the mentality of the early Puritan pioneering in a new world. The poet heard the grasshopper and the cricket sing, and she searched for her own soul accordingly. 6. She saw sth metaphysical inhering in the physical, a mode of perception which was singularly Puritan 二 It was about this time I conceived the bold and arduous project of arriving at moral perfection. I wished to live without committing any fault at any time; I would conquer all that either natural inclination, custom, or company might lead me into. As I knew, or thought I knew, what was right and wrong, I did not see why I might not always do the one and avoid the other. But I soon found I had undertaken a task of more difficulty than I had imagined. While my care was employed in guarding against one fault, I was often surprised by another; habit took the advantage of inattention; inclination was sometimes too strong for reason. I concluded, at length, that the mere speculative conviction that it was our interest to be completely virtuous was not sufficient to prevent our slipping and that the contrary habits must be broken, and good ones acquired and established, before we can have any dependence on a steady, uniform rectitude of conduct. For this purpose I therefore contrived the following method. In the various enumerations of the moral virtues I had met with in my reading, I found the catalog more or less numerous, as different writers included more or fewer ideas under the same name. Temperance, for example, was by some confined to eating and drinking, while by others it was extended to mean the moderating every other pleasure, appetite, inclination, or

如何引导学生赏析文学作品中的人物性格特点

如何引导学生赏析文学作品中的人物性格特点怎样分析文学作品中的人物形象 记叙文是初中生最熟悉的一种文体,而编入我们中学语文教材中的文本,大都是文质兼美、内涵丰富、具有一定审美价值的文学作品。这些作品,无论是叙事性散文,还是小说,都离不开人物形象的支撑。那么,如何分析并把握记叙文中的人物形象呢?我们可以从以下几个方面入手: 一.抓住文中的人物描写,揣摩人物的内心情感,感受人物的思想性格。 记叙文中的人物形象都是鲜活无比的,这种生命的活力源于各种生动的描写:外貌描写呈现的是人物的外在形象;语言、动作、神态、心理活动刻画的是人物的内在性格和思想。只要牢牢抓住人物的各种描写,深入分析,揣摩人物丰富的内心情感,就定能把握住人物的思想和性格。 【例】 ??最后,带着叹赏的舒心,他扔下刮刀,就象一个男士把披肩披到他情人肩上那样,温存关怀地把湿布蒙在女正身像上。于是,他又转身要走,那身材魁梧的老人。《从罗丹得到的启示》

【分析】句中,一个“扔”字传神地刻画出罗丹大功告成后的无比兴奋的心情;而后句中的“披”、“蒙”二字则又生动地再现了罗丹对自己作品的珍爱;最后“又转身要走”表明罗丹工作时的忘我和投入,他完全忘记了站在自己身后的“我”。由此,罗丹专注于雕塑艺术并力求完美的忘我精神就让我们了然于心了。 二.联系上下文,关注作者的整体运思,全面把握人物的思想性 格。 文学作品尤其是小说中的人物,是作家源自灵魂深处的感情人格化的产物,他们支撑着整个小说的故事和主题。这些文学人物形象之所以能超越不同民族、穿越时间隧道、震撼人们心灵并最终留在了人们的记忆深处,完全在于作者的精心塑造。因此,我们在阅读这些文学作品时,一定要联系上下文,关注作者对作品及人物的整体运思和表现手法,全面把握人物的思想性格。 【例】那同志一只手抖抖索索地打开了纸包,那是一个党证;揭开党证,里面并排着一小堆火柴。焦干的火柴。红红的火柴头簇集在一起,正压在那朱红的印章中心,像一簇火焰在跳。“同志,你看着??”那同志向卢进勇招招手,等他凑近了,便伸开一个僵直

外国文学人物形象

1、堂吉诃德人物形象分析: 一、堂吉诃德是一个脱离现实、耽于幻想、行动盲目的这样一个人。他因读骑士小说入了迷而想入非非,丧失了基本的理性。他把骑士小说的描写当成现实生活,无视已经发生了变化的时代。 二、堂吉诃德是一个纯粹的理想主义者。他痛恨专制残暴,同情被压迫的劳苦大众,向往自由,把保护人的正当权利与尊严,锄强扶弱,清除人世间的不平作为自己的人生理想。或许这就是他那理想化的骑士道,但他对此是如此的迷恋和执着,如此的不可思议,已完全变成偏执。 三、堂吉诃德是一个永不妥协的斗士,他为实现理想而奋不顾身的精神令我们折服。堂吉诃德敢于为主持正义、清除罪恶而忘我斗争,不管碰到什么样的敌人,他都毫不怯懦,永不退缩。他把磨坊的风车当作巨人,毫不犹豫地挺枪拍马冲过去。 总结以上几点分析,我们可以看到堂吉诃德是一个性格复杂而矛盾的人物。他身上既有滑稽可笑的特点,又有严肃认真的思考; 既荒谬绝伦,又崇高伟大; 既有喜剧性,又有悲剧性,是一个可笑又可悲、可乐又可敬的具有双重性格组合的人物形象。堂吉诃德敢用自己的行动、甚至生命来捍卫道德、正义和信仰,即使大多数情况下都以失败而告终,但他这种不屈不挠、勇于自我牺牲的精神,实在是足可令人敬佩的。 2、哈姆雷特人物形象分析: 哈姆雷特形象分析:人文主义者。复杂的性格,有崇高的理想,和人类与世界新颖的看法。目光敏锐,思考深刻,又有高度的社会责任感。但过于内向,过于审慎,加上势单力薄的处境,造成行动上的延宕。有行动的决心,而且不断督促自己,但最后只能与敌人同归于尽。 哈姆雷特是个具有先进理想并勤于思索的人文主义者。他的理想和严酷的现实发生尖锐的矛盾。精神的危机,理想的破灭,使他悲郁愤懑,痛苦异常,也促使他不断思索,加深对社会的认识。他从家庭的变故看到宫墙外的社会问题,有强烈的责任感,然而只相信个人的作用,强调思想的力量,因而矛盾重重,思考多于行动,时时感到忧郁、茫然,行动犹豫、延宕。生活在英国新兴势力还处于幼稚阶段的哈姆雷特,找不到也不可能找到正确的途径,最后他虽然奋然一击,与敌人同归于尽,但忧郁始终伴随着他,伟大的理想并未实现,莎士比亚在哈姆雷特身上寄托了人文主义的美好理想,哈姆雷特的性格特征和悲剧结局也反映了人文主义的思想危机和致命弱点。 3、唐璜人物形象分析 《唐璜》中的主人公唐璜源自西班牙传说中的人物,多次成为文学作品的题材。传统的唐璜形象是个玩弄女性,没有道德观念的花花公子。但在拜伦笔下,这个人物在多数情况下却以被勾引的角色出现。他的被迫出走,就是因为他或多或少地是那个有夫之妇的牺牲品。唐璜不同于拜伦其他诗歌中的英雄人物,作者无意将他塑造成“拜伦式的英雄”,其中却不乏诗人自传的成分。唐璜热情、勇敢、拒绝虚伪的道德信条。在面临饿死的危险时,他拒绝吃被打死的人,其中不乏象征的意义。在士兵中间,只有他表现出对一个土耳其小姑娘的命运真正的关心。他没有忧郁绝望的天性,但也没有掌握自己命运的能力。他的爱情故事大多是对上流社会虚伪道德的讽刺,而他和海盗女儿海蒂的经历,更多的是体现一种充满诗意的理想。 4、于连人物形象分析

如何鉴赏文学作品中的人物形象

如何鉴赏文学作品中的人物形象 本文是关于如何鉴赏文学作品中的人物形象,感谢您的阅读! 文学是人学,尤其是小说,其核心任务就是通过塑造人物形象表现作品的主题,揭示生活的本质,表达作者的审美意识、美学观点。因此,对人物形象的理解和分析就成为小说阅读的考查热点。鉴赏人物形象一般分三步走:首先,要从人物的肖像描写、动作描写、语言描写、心理描写等入手,了解人物的外貌、心理、性格等;其次,要通过作品对人物的种种描写,把握人物的思想品质、精神风貌;最后,要体悟作者的创作意图,从作者揭示的作品主题和情感倾向中去认识人物形象的意义和作用。下面,笔者想以近年高考试题为例分类简析一下其设题方式及答题策略。 一、概括人物的性格特征【设题方式】 示例:简要概括祥子这一人物形象的性格特征。(2010年高考山东卷) 【答题策略】 “简要概括”“性格特征”是审题要点。据此,只要找到答题语域,提取或整合出体现“性格特征”的词语即可,无需分析。先找出答题区域在节选部分的最后一段。祥子的性格特点在作者描写和叙述中有体现。比如,“假若他去当了兵,他决不会一穿上那套虎皮,马上就不傻装傻地去欺辱人”,是善良本分的体现;“在车厂子里,他不闲着,把汗一落下去,他就找点事儿做”,是写祥子的勤劳;“过了几天,他们看出来他一点没有卖好讨俏的意思,他是那么真诚自然”,

则体现了他的真诚自然。 【答案示例】 勤劳;朴实(憨厚老实,善良);上进(有生活目标,有追求,有上进心);真诚自然(不卖好讨俏)。 二、分析人物的心理特点 【设题方式】 示例:品味文中加点的动词,简析它们分别表达了父亲怎样的心理。(2010年高考浙江卷) (1)拍拍: (2)喝令: (3)挺直: 【答题语域】 在弟弟的从容面前,父亲到底接受了现实,他什么也没说,拍拍弟弟的肩膀,把退休工资卡交给了弟弟。弟弟不要,父亲露出怒目的本色,喝令他收下,然后挺直脊背,走出大门。 【答题策略】 “加点的动词”“简析”“心理”是审题要点。据此,要联系前后文和文章的主旨,对每个动词加以分析,从而把握其心理特点。比如,父亲在弟弟困难的时候“喝令”他收下自己的退休工资卡,语言是强硬的,但其中的疼爱也是不言而喻的。 【答案示例】 ①拍拍:表现了父亲对弟弟的信任、安慰和鼓励。②喝令:以强

作品选读分析: Passage 1 …Suddenly there shot along the path a wild light, and I turned to see whence a gleam so unusual could have issued—for the vast house and its shadows where alone behind me. The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-re moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely-discernible fissure, of which I have before spoken, as extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. … Questions: 1.From which short story is this passage taken? Who is the author of this short story? 2.what kind of story is it? What’s features of this kind of story? 3.What’s the symbolic meaning of the “House” and the “Fissure”? Passage 2 “Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.”Questions: 1. Which work is this fragment taken from? Who’s the author? 2. What does “Universal Being” refer to? 3. How to appreciate it? Passage 3 The runaway slave came to my house and stopt outside, I heard his motions crackling the twigs of the woodpile, Through the swung half-door of the kitchen I saw him limpsy and weak, And went where he sat on a log and led him in and assured him, And brought water and fill’d a tub for his sweated body and bruis’d feet, And gave him a room that enter’d from my own, and gave him some coarse clean clothes, … Questions: 1.
