The Fate Symphony of Women and Nature—Ecofeminist Interpretation of Gone with the Wind 

摘要

《飘》是美国著名女作家玛格丽特·米切尔以南北战争为背景创作的一部长篇小说，也是其唯一一部作品，但足以奠定其在世界文学史上不可动摇的地位。小说自1936年出版以来，引起了巨大的轰动，并于次年获得普利策文学奖。在被改编成电影《乱世佳人》后不久，它一举获得八项奥斯卡大奖。小说以斯嘉丽的感情纠葛为线索，主要围绕女主角斯嘉丽的一生展开的。在美国内战的大背景下，斯嘉丽以勇敢、叛逆坚强、自强不息的精神成为新女性的代表。

自小说问世以来，许多学者运用女性主义、生态批评、精神分析等理论从人物形象、主题内涵、人际关系、历史文化背景等视角对小说进行了多方位的解读。但是，很少有学者从生态女性主义的角度分析小说中女性与自然的紧密关系。论文第一部分将简要介绍作者生平、小说的主要内容与情节、写作背景等。第二部分将对女性生态主义的定义、发展和特征做简要的介绍。第三部分是论文的主体部分，将结合文本，从女性与自然同处边缘者地位和同为受害者的经历两方面分析小说中女性与自然的共同命运。第四部分将从女性是自然的保护者和自然是女性的力量源泉两方面探讨小说中体现的女性与自然的和谐共存关系，最后对论文进行总结。

Abstract

Gone with the Wind is a fantastic long novel created by a famous American novelist Margaret Mitchel who set the civil war as the background of the fiction. Gone with the Wind was the only novel created by Margaret Mitchel, but it established her unshakable position in the history of world literature. The novel has caused a great sensation since it was published in 1936 and it got a Pulitzer Prize for literature in the next year. The novel won eight Oscars in a short time after it was adapted to a film. Using the emotional entanglements as links, most of the story started around Scalett’s life. Under the background of the American civil war, Scalett became a representative of New Women by her brave, rebellious and tough spirit.

Since the novel came out, many scholars have interpreted it based on feminism, ecological criticism, psychoanalysis and other theories, from the perspective of personal character, themes, interpersonal relationship, historical and cultural background, etc. However, few scholars analyzed the tight relationship between women and nature from the angle of ecofeminism. The first chapter of this thesis will briefly introduce the writer, content, plot, writing background and so on. The second chapter will introduce the definition, development and characteristics of ecofeminism. The third chapter is the mainbody of the thesis and it will analyze the common fate of women and nature by focusing on their common status as the marginalized and their common fate as victims. The fourth chapter will elaborate on the harmony between women and nature by pointing out that women are the protectors of nature and nature is the source of strength for women. Finally, the paper will make a conclusion.
