The Ecofeminist Interpretation of Gone with the Wind
Abstract
Gone with the Wind is the only work written by Margaret Mitchell who is an outstanding American novelist. Taking the American Civil War as the background, it tells a tragic love story between Scarlett and Rhett, and a story that American southern females represented by Scarlett and Ellen protect and reconstruct nature. This novel describes many female characters with distinctive personalitiessuch as Scarlett having the rebellious spirit and Ellen regarded as “an angel in the house”. Connecting females with nature, Margaret Mitchell indicates that there is an interdependent and harmonious relationship between females and nature,which embodies the approach of ecofeminism.Starting with the perspective of ecofeminism, this thesis reveals that patriarchy culture is the fundamental reason of tragic fates of females and nature by discussing not only ideas and behaviors of females living in a male-dominated society but also the relationship between females and nature.At present, the problem of ecology and environment is still serious, and even now the phenomenon of oppression on females still exists. The interpretation of Gone with the Wind from the perspective of ecofeminism provides us with reflections and enlightenments for the establishment of a harmonious society with good ecology and gender equality.

摘要：《飘》是美国杰出小说家玛格丽特•米切尔一生中唯一的作品。该小说以南北战争为背景，讲述了斯嘉丽与瑞德的悲剧爱情故事，以及斯嘉丽和艾伦等南方女性保护和重建自然家园的故事，塑造了具有反叛精神的斯嘉丽和传统的家庭天使等性格鲜明的女性角色。小说将女性与自然相联系，表明了女性与自然之间相互依存的和谐状态，体现了生态女性主义的观点。本论文从生态女性主义的角度出发，通过探究女性与自然的联系，以及在男权社会下女性的思想和行为表现，揭示了父权制文化是造成女性与自然悲剧命运的根本原因。在当今世界，生态环境问题仍旧突出，女性受压迫的现象仍然存在。通过从生态女性主义视角解读《飘》，对当今建立生态良好、性别平等的和谐社会有反思和启示意义。
