40、conventional sense, as indicated by Margaret Mitchell's opening line, but a charming Southern belle who grows up on a Clayton County, Georgia plantation named after Tara in the years before the American Civil War. She is the oldest of three daughters. Her two younger sisters are the lazy and whi

41、ny Susan Elinor ("Suellen") and the gentle and kind Caroline Irene ("Carreen"). Her mother also gave birth to three younger sons, who were all named Gerald Jr. and died as infants. Selfish, shrewd and vain, Scarlett inherits the strong will of her Irish father Gerald O'Hara,

42、but also desires to please her well-bred, gentle French American mother Ellen Robillard, from a good and well respected Savannah, Georgia family. “Scarlett was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm. Her eyes were green without a touch of hazel, starred with briskly black

43、 lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. The green eyes in the carefully sweet face were turbulent, willful and lusty with life, distinctly at variance with her decorous demeanor. Her manners had been imposed upon her by her mothers gentle admonitions and the sterner discipline of her mammy; her eye

44、s were her own.”3At sixteen, she looked sweet, charming and giddy, but she was, in reality, self-willed, vain and obstinate. She had the easily stirred passions of her Irish father and nothing except the thinnest veneer of her mothers unselfish and forbearing nature. Her mother Ellen and Mammy taugh

45、t her all a gentlewoman should know, but she learned only the outward signs of gentility. “There was no such conflict as frequently raged in Scarlett bosom, where the blood of soft-voiced, over-bred Coast aristocrat mingled with the shrewd, earthy blood of an Irish peasant.”4 Scarlett wanted very mu

46、ch to be like her mother. The only difficult was that by being just and truthful and tender and unselfish, one missed most of the joys of life, and certainly many beaux. In addition, she was fiery like her father and somewhat rebelled. 2. Scarlett Was Arrogant, Selfish and Diplomat before the Civil

47、WarBefore the Civil War, her life was full of parties, beautiful clothes and love. Despite her shortages, she had a large quality of excellent qualities, such as courage, vivacity, strong sense of responsibility, integrity and virtuousness.Scarlett OHara, the daughter of a Georgia plantation owner.

48、Her new green flowered-muslin dress spread its twelve yards of billowing material over her hoops and exactly matched the flat-heeled green morocco slippers her father had recently brought her from Atlanta. The dress set off to perfection the seventeen-inch waist, the smallest in three counties. This

49、 is the first glimpse we receive in the book of the Southern Belle Scarlett OHara. She is sixteen years old and her only concern in life is to look beautiful and attract lots of beaux. Being beautiful and attracting beaux was what Scarlett was raised to do. According to Scarletts mother “the first d

50、uty of a girl was to get married” 5. Minor emphasis was placed on Scarletts education outside of what would be practical for her to know in marriage. Ellen and her Mammy instilled in Scarlett all the traits that a gentlewoman must know to behave like a lady in front of a gentleman. “Most of all she

51、learned how to conceal from men a sharp intelligence beneath a face as sweet and bland as a babys” 6. There is much talk of war around Scarlett. America is at the cusp of civil war, Pa talks war morning, noon and night, and all the gentlemen who come to see him shout about Fort Sumter and States Rig

52、hts and Abraham Lincoln till I get so bored I could scream!. All of this war talk is cutting in on Scarletts fun. She has been groomed to dance in beautiful dresses at parties and balls with lots and lots of beaux. She is at her social peak. There is nothing that concerns Scarlett except for what is

53、 immediately happening in her social circle:Im mighty glad Georgia waited till after Christmas before it seceded or it would have ruined the Christmas parties, too. This sounds a bit harsh in lieu of what was really happening in the southern states, but Scarlett was completely sincere. The character

54、 Scarlett is not that concerned with war. War was a distant reality in her eyes. A conflict, that if it were even to happen, would be over before it even started because as everyone knew: “Why, one Southerner can lick twenty Yankees” 7.3. Scarlett Became Mature and Strong during and after the Civil

55、WarThere are drastic changes to Scarlett OHaras life once the war commences. Scarlett realizes that the man she wants to marry is going to marry his cousin, so in a fit of jealousy she bats her eyelashes at the next available beau and becomes a war bride within two weeks of the barbeque. This marria

56、ge does not last long because Scarletts husband dies of pneumonia before ever seeing battle. Sixteen-year old Scarlett is now a widow. She has to wear black dresses and she has to be grave and aloof.At one point of the war, the fighting was right at Atlantas doorstep and most of the townspeople trie

57、d to flee to safer places. Scarlett can not go as a refugee to a safe place like the other citizens of Atlanta because she has promised Ashley Wilkes that she would take care of his bride and cousin Melanie who was too heavy with child to be able to travel. Scarlett is very tired of the war and she

58、longs to be home at Tara in the safe arms of her mother and Mammy. She is also afraid because she knows the Union Army is fighting close to Tara and her sisters are ill with typhoid.In order to save Melanie who was expecting her baby soon, Scarlett stayed to look after her at the risk of her own lif

59、e. In order to keep Tara plantation and raise the whole family, she tried every means even at the price of her own marriage. Although it looked like that she stopped at nothing to get what she wanted in some peoples eyes. In fact, all these were due to strong sense of responsibility. She was full of energy, brave and talented. She despised all the outmoded regulations and irrational practices. She was bold in making innovations. In order to earn more money, she took risk to shu
