《飘》之观后感
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。其中,女主人公的爱情观,使我感受颇深。 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,才使她错过了身边真正的幸福。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身边溜走。 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。“不管怎样,明天又是另外的一天呢!”如果许多人对爱情都能有这种乐观自信的态度,那么许多爱情的悲剧就不会发生了。
在读《飘》的时候,多少次我与之同喜、同闹、同悲、同笑。几许惆怅,几许欣喜,几许感慨,几许惊叹。这本书给我留下的是强烈的震撼和一生的感动。难怪这本书是众人之选,也再一次证明了我的选择是正确的。

Gone With The Wind
The novel is set in North Georgia at the time of the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865 and beyond when the Southern plantation owners fought the northern Yankees for the right to own slaves. They lost the war, suffered innumerable losses of life in the process, and the romantic plantation life depicted in the early chapters of the novel is destroyed. During this period the characters in the novel undergo the transition from a carefree playful life of picnics and parties (underlain by the hard graft of their slaves) to one of hand-to-mouth living and hard physical labour, and finally, back to prosperity.
About Scarlett O’Hara and Brave
Scarlett O‘Hara is a spoilt society beauty with ―bristling black eyelashes‖ – I love this description! – which she uses to charm men. She lives with her sisters and parents on their plantation estate with dozens of slaves, including Mammy, their black housekeeper who is regarded (as much as was possible at that time) part of the family and plays an important role in Scarlett‘s life. The storyline centres around Scarlett‘s life at the time of the civil war and the other characters which interact with her.
The book starts with the heroine of the piece, 17 year old Miss Scarlett O‘Hara flirting to the best of her capacity with the handsome Tarleton twins on the porch of Tara, her plantation house home, and berating the seriousness of the impending war because it ruins her capacity to have fun, attend parties and have beaux. I mention this first page because it encapsulates the very nature of the entire novel. Scarlett O‘Hara is a spoilt, selfish beauty with enormous power to manipulate men and a desire for the good things in life. Knowing this, you can see why she makes some of her seemingly ridiculous choices throughout the novel.
Throughout the novel Scarlett makes some appalling decisions, such as marrying the shy, nervous Charles Hamilton (Melanie‘s brother) for spite because Ashley dared to marry Melanie. She quickly finds that married life isn‘t what it‘s cracked up to be, and that she can no-longer flirt to her heart‘s content. Matters are made even worse when Charles dies while at war, and Scarlett is doomed to years of widowhood, wearing black and no
dancing. Worse than this even, she is pregnant with her first child, a fact she despises. However, Scarlett is not one to be held down for long and she quickly rebels against the constraints the society imposes by both dancing and wearing brightly coloured clothing (at Rhett‘s impetus) while still in mourning.
Later on when the guns of war come close around Scarlett and her comrades she shows surprising resilience and strength, delivering Melanie‘s baby single-handed amid the
sacking of Atlanta, and taking on the responsibility of managing Tara. She proves to be a
41050254 信息1009 齐沈桐 英文读后感 《飘》
sound and resourceful businesswoman, who can make difficult decisions when they are needed.
You can‘t help but like Scarlett. She‘s hopelessly selfish, vain, manipulative, deluded and foolish, but she‘s also an extremely vivacious, loyal and strong character who can be relied upon to say and do just exactly what she thinks, regardless of the impact on other people. Again and again through the novel you find yourself thinking ―No Don‘t do that!‖ but you know she‘s going to do it anyway.
About Rhett Butler and Love
Rhett Butler is a dashing renegade, the man who is rumoured to have ruined a woman (whispered in shocked tones among Scarlett‘s companions). But he is a hero at the same time.He jeered the South‘s arrogant,but when he saw the soldiers fight bravely to protect their home,he was moved and join the army immediately. Butler is not a traditional gentleman.He is overbearing and wanton,foxery and unpoitely. He is a man who is full of contradiction which makes him so charming. That is the reality of social calm and unrestrained passion of love, like the mixture of fire and ice. We interpret his character by way of analyzing his attitude to the South and the War. His tortuous and full of tragic love story reflect his passion love to Scarlett. Furthermore, we expound on the reason of his character formation. That is particular growth experience and social environment of the time. The theme of the paper is the courage of straighten the life, the indestructible spirit. The practical significance of this character shaped by Rhett is revealing the strength and weaknesses of personality
When Scarlett first met Rhett,she said,
‘sir, you are no gentleman!‘
And Butler answered sarcastically,
?And you, miss, are no lady!‘
At that time, their fate has been an opened book.
Rhett Butler, known for his scandalous ways with women, is the first man to ever offer her real love, along with all the material possessions she could ever ask for. He also happens to be the first man besides her father to truly understand her, her flaws and attributes; in effect, he becomes a kind of solid rock for Scarlet throughout the picture. Their love is a thwarted union of two passionate spirits—share equal focus with the story of people swept along by the forces of history.
But Scarlett still can not forget Ashely,her first love--- a misplaced, deluded infatuation.She still fifn‘t realize that she is nobody to Ashely and the man who really cares about her tears is Rhett.And this really hurts Rhett.
So Rhett turned his love to Bonnie----their daughter.He dote on Bonnie,treat her like a princess.He do everything for her to make her to be a respectable lade in the future.He ingratiate the upper class just for raising a good reputation for his dear little Bonnie.
When Bonnie was dead, he was drastically collapsed. He told Melanie that Bonnie is the

first one that really belongs to him and she is almost the same like her mother Scarlett. He loved her so much,he wants her to be seraphic and happy, he wanted to protect her away from all the fears and darkness.
Rhett , his love is to protect, to connive.
About the war
The American Civil War (1861–1865), also known as the War Between the States (among other names), was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as "the Confederacy." Led by Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states (where slavery had been abolished) and by five slave states that became known as the border states.
In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. In response to the Republican victory in that election, seven states declared their secession from the Union before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing administration of President James Buchanan and Lincoln's incoming administration rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion. Several other slave states rejected calls for secession at this point
Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back with heavy casualties after the Battle of Gettysburg. To the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River after their capture of Vicksburg, Mississippi, thereby splitting the Confederacy in two. The Union was able to capitalize on its long-term advantages in men and materiel by 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Tecumseh Sherman captured Atlanta and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance ended after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships, and mass-produced weapons were employed extensively. The practices of total war, developed by Sherman in Georgia, and of trench warfare around Petersburg foreshadowed World War I in Europe. It remains the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. Ten percent of all Northern males 20–45 years of age died, as did 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18–40.
In the book, Michell presented us a ruthless and misery picture of war through Scarlett‘s eyes.
"War is a hellish way to settle a disagreement"
The war caused poverty , plague,criminal and panic.The war ruined Scarlett‘s home, the spoiled beauty had to pich cotton and be the householder.All these tragedies were because of the war. Michell told us all these oppinions of war from a special female visual angle.
