读一本好书,可以影响一个人一辈子。读了《飘》这本书,的确令我醍醐灌顶、受益菲浅。全书不论是华美流畅的语言描写,还是个性鲜活的人物塑造,都达到的登峰造极的地步。真不愧是世界文学的瑰宝。如果你仔细品味书中的每一位人物都十分值得品味。
飘这部小说我认为最吸引我的地方就在于人物的丰富情感。 文章中的两个男主人公瑞德和艾希礼都有敏锐的洞察力和出色的本领。这点是他们两个人最本质的相同。但是他们一个代表就自由资本主义者的形象一个代表旧贵族的形象。使本质相同的两个人发生了天翻地覆的差别。瑞德虽然出生在贵族家庭但是从小就被家族抛弃,身上有股强烈的逆反心态,使得他推出了贵族行列,成为那个时代自由资本主义的代表,相对于艾希礼他是现实主义者是敢于面对现实的人,在战争中大发战争财是典型的利己主义者,现实主义者,但是他在追求爱情的中体现了他感情专一的一面,虽然他眼光敏锐,但正是他有的那股逆反心使得他不是那种绝对完美的资本主义家,使他得到了无数人的唾弃,但是他不在乎这些,可是当他需要的时候他有一定的马基雅维利主义。而艾希礼是南方贵族,温文尔雅、眼光敏锐、思想深刻。在南北战争前,他就反对战争,认为这场战争是无谓的是必输的,但为了南方的利益,他也冲锋陷阵。战争中,他就意识到,过去的悠闲的贵族生活一去不复返了,他会被淘汰的。战争后,他反对暴力,但为了共同利益,他参加了三K党,并为此负伤。后来又与瑞得共同努力解散了三K党。他喜欢出资、出力帮助南联盟的人,喜欢诚实做生意,不喜欢雇佣囚犯,不想过分剥削他人,具有伟大的美德,他能预料到这场战争带来的翻天覆地的改变,却流连过去的生活,不肯积极面对惨淡的生活,如不是女主人公思嘉想占有他的帮助,他也会穷困潦倒地生活。他有超越当时社会的思想,知书达理、他是应该在安逸的环境中吟诗做赋、弹琴做画的高尚的男人。但不幸的是他生活在一个大变更中,生活在困顿中,光有高尚的思想是不能添饱肚子的。
但越是艰难中的思想越是宝贵,越是让人心痛,我读到艾希礼痛苦地分析南方消失地贵族生活时,心里痛得不行,既然知道了,为什么不顺应现在的生活?是的,我对他又仰慕又痛惜又愤慨。清醒的可悲者。只是希望社会越来越好,不要让这样的男人为五斗米太过痛苦地挣扎。
思佳丽,这一在美国动荡年代所诞生的出色的人物,她的优秀个性散发出无穷的光芒。她勇敢坚强,乐观向上,对生活顽强抗争,从不屈服。她处事雷厉风行,精明能干。最突出的一点就是她对爱情的执着。她所拥有天使般的脸蛋
和魔鬼般的身材——用修饰中国古代美女的话那就是沉鱼落雁,闭月羞花——使得多少青年男子拜倒在她的石榴裙下。然而她对这些毫不在乎,她对爱情疯狂的执着。但是出于无奈,她分别嫁给了两个自己不喜欢的人。当再一次见到她钟爱的艾希礼时,依然像少女般疯狂地爱着他,不顾一切的向他倾诉钟情。这让我想到了中国封建时代的女子对爱情忠贞的另一种表达方式。以《孔雀东南飞》为例,一对男女要表现对爱的忠贞就要结为连理枝,他们的爱情是与婚姻紧密相连的。“君当作磐石,妾当作蒲苇,蒲苇韧如丝,磐石无转移。”当他们的爱情遭受别人的破坏时,为了表现对爱的执着,他们只有“自挂东南枝”了。然而思佳丽却不一样,在她的爱情观中,爱情与婚姻是可以分离的,或者说是一种精神上和肉体上的分离。她不在乎彼此都有的婚姻,抛开一切大胆的去爱艾希礼,争取自己的幸福,她并未将爱情套上礼义,道德的枷锁,她的爱情永远是自由奔放的。这也许是东西方文化差异造成的吧。爱的本质是不因表达方式的变更而变化的。思佳丽的大半生又是为爱所迷惑的。因为迷惑而做了很多错事。知道最后她才发现,原来她一直钟爱的艾希礼并不爱她,也不曾象她所想的那般优秀。其实她爱的并不是艾希礼,而是自己内心的一个完美形象。艾希礼越是拒绝她,她心中的那个形象就越完善——这正应了中国的一句老话:得不到的就是最好的——而恰恰因为她错误的迷恋,才使她错了身边真正的幸福。这也给了我一个启示:人要学会明辨是非,不要让幸福从自己的指间溜走。
值得欣慰的是,在思佳丽的爱情世界里没有什么是为之已晚的,当她彻底的失去艾希礼,失去女儿,丈夫瑞德也已离她而去之后,她才意识到原来她真正爱的人是瑞德,她于是抛开心灵上的创伤与悔恨,相信自己一定能挽回瑞德的心
而玫兰妮。她是个外柔内刚的女性,她几乎拥有了女性所能拥有的一切美德。正如瑞特说的,她是他所见过的少数贵夫人中的一个。她是坚强的,她是爱国的,她用她的心爱身边所有的人。当她丈夫打仗时,她在后方默默守侯,做她力所能及的事,当北佬打进城而她又快要临盆时,她依然镇定,当她身体虚弱而没人下地干活快要没饭吃时,她和斯佳丽一样,放下过去所受的教育和优越感,拖着虚弱的身体下地干活,当她看到斯佳丽杀了一个北佬时,她没有惊慌失措,而是帮着掩埋尸体,搜查钱财,擦拭血迹,当战争终于结束,她痛恨的北佬士兵来到她门前要求照顾而她们自己也没有过多粮食时,她还是尽她所能地帮助他们,因为她希望在远方也有一个好心的北佬女人给她正在回家的丈夫一口饭吃。
如此一位坚强的女性,却又是如此的温柔善良和善解人意。她执着地相信斯佳丽和阿希礼,即使有人亲眼看见他们搂在一起,也执着地相信他们,保护斯佳丽。她明知自己的身体无法再承受生育的痛苦,却执着地要再为阿希礼生个孩子,最终离开了她爱了一辈子的亲人们。
真的是太伟大了,看着玫兰妮,使我想到许许多多的中国古代女性,她们也是如此的善良,任劳任怨,相夫教子,然后默默无名地老去、死去。
最后我想起了一句感动我的话明天有是新的一天。
第二篇:飘 英文读后感
My Impressions after Reading”Gone with the Wind”
——10911010330
Recently,I have just finished reading a famous novel written by Margaret mitchell—“Gone with the Wind”,which is one of the most popular works among American novels.It took the auther about 10 years to finish this great novel,the only novel in her life.
The story happened during the Civil War eve.Scarlett O'Hara,a 16-year-old girl,who was living in Tala manor in Georgia,was loving her neighbor Ashley Wilkes.However,after the war have broken out, Ashley Wilkes married his yonger cousin Melanie. Scarlett was so angry that she decided to marry a man she didn’t really love---- Charles Hamilton.Not long after that, Charles Hamilton joined the Army and died of illness in the war.So Scarlett had to act as a widow.Afterwards,at a donating dance party,Scarlett is acquainted with a captain named Rhett Butler. Then the flames of war approached Atlanta.Everyone was busy leaving away from the war.Scarlett managed to escape from Atlanta with the help of captain Rhett.Having come back to Tala manor,Scarlett made up her mind to rally her homeland at any cost when she saw that the former manor had been ruined.Later,her second husband died in the fight,she was a widow again.Durling that time, Rhett had been loving Scarlett sincerely and warmly.Seeing that Rhett could help her rally the manor,Scarlett married him.Although Rhett had similar characteristic attracting her,Scarlett still loved Ashley.Later,their only daughter died accidently,Rhett left Scarlett sorrowly.And then Scarlett realized that Rhett was the only one who could fall in love with her.
The novel takes the US Civil War as the background.It takes Scarlett’s individual activity as the thread.The book show us a tragic love story .A couple who could have a perfect future,but finnally go in opposite direction.As a matter of fact,their charactristics have decided their tragic result inevitably.We feel sorry about the end because we are looking forward to a perfect end,just like Scarlett and Rhett.In fact,ferfect is always a excessive damand.
I affirm Rhett.He brings excitement to Scarlett’s life and encourages her impulse to change and succeed.Like Scarlett,he goes after what he wants and refuses to take ‘no’ for an answer.He is humorous,intelligent and cynical with a hint of treason.He is really a respectable man.I think he finnally left because of love .Otherwise,he couldn’t have gone without hesitation.
Ashley Wilkes is the foil to Rhett’s dark, realistic opportunism.If there was no Civil War,he is surely a nobility of grace and charm.But history cannot be changed.He bocame a victim of the war.His era was gone with the defeat of the war.At the same time,we cannot deny the fact that he had a chear understanding about reality,which just contribute to his tragedy.
In this book,what I appreciate most is not Melanie’skindness or Rheet’s dedication and patience,but Scarlett’s courage to throw her long-standing morality and tradition whe faced with diffiiculties.At the beginning of the war,she didn’t care about this.In her world are endless dinner parties and dance parties.In her body are her father’s brave Irish blood
and her mother’s noble French pure blood.She had a vast farm as her home.She had hundreds of slaves.This is Scarlett.,a member of noblity,proud and different.However,the war changed everything.Her mother died of illness.Her father become silent and the farm was nearly deserted.Even food became a big problem.All the pressure was put on Scarlett’s shoulder.She must feed a family of 9 people in it.What a big difference of level.If all this happened to someone else,he or she may choose to escape.On the contrary,Scarlett choose to face the change of life bravely.How can we not admire her courage of to change herself.Life is like a mountain.The road can’t be completely smooth.When we fall down from the peak,we may get hert ,we may get disappointed,we may feel despair.But if you want to survive,you must stand up to face it.
It is obvious that <<Gone with the wind>> is really a good book,even if a long time has passed away,it is still suitable for today’s society.It is of great importance to change ourselves,change our value even our thoughts when our life chages.
On the other hand,I think there is no real perfect in the world.Everybody has his shortcomings.It is necessary for us to learn to forgive others’ faults.If we keep good-tempered,Ibelieve there will be more comedy and less tragedy.
