*some thing about novle

but rhett(人名：瑞德)signed a pledge (许诺誓言) never to reveal scarletts secret. scarlett whose vanity(自尊心) was hurt decided to get married with melanie s brother losing her marbles(失去理智).she wanted to revenge ashley。after marrige, both charlie and ashley went to the front and fight. charlie died of an illness two month ago and 16-year-old scarlett became a widow.

at the beginning of the war,slace owners were too arrogant(自大的) to never face the strenghth of enemy. however, rhett realized the failure of the southern troop. rhett was always persistent(执着) and atached to the persuit of love, because scarletts attractive appearence and stubborn personality.scarlett could not bear loneliness, so

she not object to associate with rhett. with the moral conservative surrounding(在保守的道德环境下)，their action arouse dissatisfaction around them.scarlett found they have a lot in common, she was attracted to him incoluntary(不由自主的).when ashley came home om chirsmas day ,scarlett was still loved him.

the civil was going on ,lincoln s emancipation proclamation got people s widely support.the sorth would be defeated within a short time run away.everyone else was jittery(人心惶惶),atlanta is not safe .at this time melanie s giving birth was coming.to keep the promise of ashley,scarlett decide to stay with melanie to help her , melanie who had a difficult labour is endangerous.in desperation(迫于无奈),scarlett delivered her baby without experience.atlanta became an dangerous city, arsenal zre risk of explosion would happen at anytime.scalett believed the moment that she ……此处隐藏3015个字…… them forever.

rhett, scarlett described him as this: “you’re a conceited, black-hearted varmint people. not a gentlemen.” on the contrary, i think he is a charming men, who is brave, since and righteous .in many times, he seems immoral. he should not invite scarlett to dance at a donating party. it’s a rude

behavior to a widow. but he did , he don’t care about the boring rules. he is sincere exactly. he said he isn’t neither noble nor heroic, he just believe in rhett butler. he does everything for profit. it sounds selfish and unpatriotic, isn’t it?but in my oponion , hypocrite more terrible than true villain. what’s more, i’m admiring the writer’s skill. the plot rise and falls, beyond imagination. at the last moment, rhett joins army, because he will be ashamed of losing causes. form his inside, to be frank ,he is a hero .

now, it’s time for his emotion world. rhett loves scarlett deeply. everything he has done for scarlett makes me moved.

during the war, he risk his life to take scarlett and melannie away form atlanta;

after the war, he keeps her company when she drives alone through shantytown ;

after they married, he makes tara as fine as a plantation as it ever was whatever it costs; there are too many examples to list, in a word, he will do anything as long as scarlett needs. even he knows clearly that scalett loves ashley, she is a selfish and shrewd women, marry him for money. but he accepts all. in reality, we have seen a boy or girl fall in love with another because the good things they show, separate in the end since they find the other’s weakness. he loves scarlett beyond everything, no matter she is mean. when scarlett said she doesn’t want any baby, rhett gives his whole love to bonnie, their daughter, the first person who is ever completely belong to him. he pets her, spoil her, just regards bannie as little scarlett. in oder to helping daughter gain well respect , he do everything he can do. when bonnie cried in the darkness, he fire the people with angry. in the end, bonnie died. his heart, died too. he choose to leave.

i think he is tired or running after scarlett so long time, he said he wants peace. remind me of a word: “active long will be very tired, care about for a long time will crash.” writer leaves room for us to imagine they make up or not. it’s hard to say. everyone has own ideas. but i think the ending is not important any more. if they do, it’s a happy ending; if they don’t, we can reguard it as a story which about the tragedy of love, the growth of comedy. the important is learn something form it.

every time to read classics, is a spiritual journey. in the journey, i learn a lot form it, about the war, in particular, about the growth, about the love. there is more books which is worthy to read, just like Gone with the wind, also flashing a bright light in the history of literature.

looking forward to the nest trip, expect more surprise and harvest.
