一)斯嘉丽的家庭对斯嘉丽的性格的影响
1.父亲对斯嘉丽的影响
在家里,思佳和父亲像两个好朋友一样,当父亲看到她跳篱笆时,便当面责备她,但事后不会向她母亲提出。而思佳要是知道父亲打牌输了钱,她也不会告诉母亲。他们两个人有一样的想法,父亲有事不想让妻子知道,女儿有事也不想让母亲知道。他们之间有一种挺正常的父女联盟,不想让爱伦知道了他们做的事而生气和担心。儿童心理发展有一种现象,即到了3岁时开始从自己和母亲的一体关系分裂出来,并且把情感投在父亲身上,甚至要和母亲竞争而独占父亲,称为俄底浦斯情结,又叫恋父情结[2]。应该说,思佳也是有恋父情结的
思佳在父亲身上学到的还有对生活的坚强品格和对黑人仆人的慷慨关心。当父亲死了以后,思佳把父亲的一块珍贵的手表给了一个贴身家奴。而当她在经营木材加工厂时,一个黑人奴隶投奔而来,她首先想到的是要保护他,应该说这些地方受父亲影响很大。同时她继承了自己父亲的坚强。在那个风云突变的乱世,她能在备受创伤和打击之后不留恋以前豪华高雅的生活,而坚强的站起来下地摘棉花。在塔拉红色的土地上她得到了黑色的坚毅,正如她父亲所说的,这个世界上只有土地和日月同在。这股强大的力量加之她固有的爱尔兰血统潜在的反叛思想,使之公开在亚特兰大和北方佬做生意。从文学与人生的审美联系上说,文学对信仰的表现,也是文学对人生的一种永恒的把握的表现,通过信仰的确立,人们可以对世界的未来,人生的未来充满遐想,以饱满的热情和信念实现向必然王国的精神飞跃[3]。而思佳的信仰是坚强,自信,对土地的热爱,一个固执而倔强的信仰,这也受了她父亲的影响。
思佳在家里不怕父亲,正是在父亲面前的有恃无恐的地位养成了她一生中对男人挥来斥去的自信和骄傲,也形成了她一生中与其他女性争夺男人的强烈攻击性。在她的一生中,不仅不顾廉耻的掠夺妹妹的爱人,而且无休止的掠夺属于别人的男人。父亲对她的影响贯穿了她的一生[4]。
2.母亲对她的影响
父母对儿女的爱,首先是本能的驱动,就像其它动物一样。他们会不自觉地把血缘关系神圣化、宗教化,把儿女看作自我的生命的延续,把生子育女看作是人生价值的体现。所以,在理智上、精神层面上,父母的爱是一种自爱,是把儿女当自己——理想化的自己——来爱,这种观点早在穆勒,霍尔巴赫的伦理信念中就得到揭示[5]。母亲是思佳人格成长的重要因素。母亲不仅是一般意义上的贤妻良母,她实际上是思嘉面对的整个道德规范。面对这个可以称之为“女人楷模”的母亲,思嘉丽的态度是十分矛盾的。一方面,她受不了母亲责备的目光,所以,她在母亲面前总是摆出最好的面孔,行动也最规矩。但是无论她散开的长裙多么老实,发型显得多么端庄,小手交叠的多么文静,她的本来面目是藏不住的。
但是母亲对她的教育似乎影响了她的生活,在她看来,所有女人都是敌人,只有她母亲一个例外,在她心里母亲是靠山,只有母亲和老天最可靠,最让人放心。其他人根本无法相比。当瑞德给她东西时,首先想到的是母亲教育她,当别人给自己东西时,首先要给钱的道理。她一方面要尊敬母亲,把她当偶像崇拜,又想揉母亲的头发,并且取笑她,她一方面对母亲的教育反抗,又把母亲当成圣母,这些复杂性影响着她性格的多重性,同时形成了她独特的叛逆性格。
艾西礼曾告诉她:“像我们这样不同的两个人,只有爱情是不够的,你需要的是一个男人的全部,包括他的躯体,感情和灵魂。如果你没有得到,你以后会后悔的。你会恨我读的书和欣赏的音乐,因为它们把我从你身边拉走。”但思佳还是爱着艾西礼,并且认为艾西礼也爱着她。为了艾西礼,她冒着生命危险照顾媚兰,她在塔拉干粗活,不想让艾西礼干。后来还给艾西礼钱花。但她对瑞德的所有深情一无所知,甚至在瑞德的怀里还想着艾西礼。后来她才意识到她一直爱的不是艾西礼,而是自己虚构的东西,并把它套在了艾西礼的身上。斯佳丽一直在寻找的避难处,那个安全而又温暖的地方,这个地方就是瑞德。因为瑞德有坚实的臂膀可以把她抱在怀里,让她对事情有清醒的头脑。但是她一直都没有意识到,尽管他对她冷嘲热讽,他还是爱着她。直到瑞德走了以后,她才意识到,一直都爱着瑞德。只是一直那么傻,不知道。所以说,她缺乏对自己内心的了解。
小说中反复出现思佳丽做的一个恶梦:世界上没有一个人可以依赖,有一个可怕的东西在追她,她就不停的跑啊跑啊,跑的心都快炸了。一边跑,一边喊,模模糊糊的想在周围的雾里找一个地方躲起来。这个恶梦贯穿了思佳丽战后的生活。弗洛伊德认为:“梦一定是有某种意义的,即使那是一种晦涩的隐意用以取代某种思想的过程”。[6]在这个梦里,充分地展示了思佳丽内心思想活动,揭示了她一切行为的动机。思佳丽在梦境中处于一片迷雾中,看不清方向,这象征着思佳丽思想上的混乱。思佳丽没有了一个具体的价值标准,她就对在她身边发生的一切感到迷惑不解,感到害怕。投射在梦中,就是浓浓的雾,让她什么都看不清楚。思佳丽感觉雾中有可怕的东西在追逐她,这个可怕的东西象征了思佳丽战争中与战争后的那一段艰苦生活,是饥饿、贫困和死亡的威胁。她的奔走逃避,其实也就是一种强烈的求生欲望的表现,暗示着思佳丽为了生活下去而做出努力的过程。她在现实生活中白手起家,从废墟中重建塔拉庄园,经营弗兰克的店铺,再盘接下木材厂,拼命赚钱的力量,就是对饥饿与死亡的恐惧感,对生存的渴求,一种强烈的求生欲望。但她的行为并未使内心获得真正的安宁,内心依然恐惧,因此在梦中,她总是一直奔跑,始终没有找到安全的地方。通过思佳丽的梦,可见她一切行为往往是源于内心欲望的驱动。她是凭着直觉与本能做事的人。在梦中,她内心真实的一面坦露了出来,她是害怕的,恐惧的,与现实中表现出来的凶悍、残暴、固执形成鲜明对比,使思佳丽这一形象的复杂矛盾体现得更加真切。
Scarlett is the protagonist of the novel, but we are never sure whether we like her or not. We admire her spirit, her determination to survive, her creativity, and her loyalty to Tara. But she frustrates us with the foolish chances she takes, with the way she tries to manipulate the people who love her, with her poor ability to judge human nature. In the end, we want her to finally grow up and to return Rhett's love for a happy-ever-after resolution. When the ending is anything but happy, we are torn between thinking she got what was coming to her and feeling sorry for her. We despise her for her duplicity in marrying Charles for whom she has no use whatever and later for stealing her sister's fiancé so she can get the money for her taxes. It never occurs to her to try a direct approach first. If she had explained the tax situation to Frank and had asked him for a loan, he probably would have given her the money.
In Scarlett's defense, she does what she was raised to do, just in a different environment. We are told early in the novel that girls were expected to act like air-brained coquettes before they were married and afterward were expected to manage households that could have numbered a hundred people or more. She inherited her aptitude for math from her mother and her strong will from her father. When she bought her first mill, it was with honorable intentions; she wanted to put a new roof on Tara and have enough money so the imposition of taxes would never again be a threat. But her desire for money is never satisfied. The more she has, the more she wants, whether she really needs it or not.
As for Scarlett's love life, she has the good sense to show disdain for the artificial manners with which girls were expected to behave toward the opposite sex. They were taught such things as: a hearty appetite would never catch a man. Thus, when going to a party, they would stuff themselves with food at home. Then they would be able to eat only the daintiest morsels at the party. Also, women were taught to act ignorant, to hang on every word a man said as if she knew nothing herself, in order to make him feel superior. They were never to say what they actually thought. Scarlett has no use for all this play-acting, although she practices it when it will be to her benefit. She does, however, have a practical way of looking at southern customs, so it doesn't bother her a great deal when other ladies gossip about her for not acting like a lady.
Scarlett loves Ashley because, of all the young men she flirts with, he is the one who seems to have the strength of character she admires. The Tarleton boys are foolish and irresponsible and all too willing to hang around waiting for her favors. Some of the others gather around her like a flock of birds hoping for some teasing word or batted eyelash. She plays the game, but has no notions of love with any of them. They are just friends, and if she can use them to tease the other girls, she'll do it.
Ashley alone seems to have remained aloof from her although they have apparently had enough encounters to make her fall in love with him and to give her the impression that he cares for her. She is immature enough to think that flirting with other men will attract him, and she has never told him that she loves him. Instead, she thinks she is dangling him on the end of her string, making him anticipate the moment when she will accept him. Thus, she is caught completely off guard when he marries his own cousin Melanie that she doesn't even know he cared about.
The difference between Ashley and the other boys is that Ashley is well educated, intellectual, artistically and musically talented, and does not put himself at the mercy of every pretty face. He is also tall and handsome, and somewhat aloof. Scarlett doesn't understand anything he talks about, but she is drawn to his dignity and his old world charm. She says that she created a dream and put him into it, but don't we all try to find mates who fit what we think we want. He was her dream, and when the dream was destroyed, her love for him was destroyed with it.
Scarlett's greatest impatience is with weakness, but she judges by what she sees on the surface and thus misses the inner strength of several of the people in her life. Her initial hatred for Melanie is partly because Melanie marries Ashley, but also because she sees her as a weak, helpless, plain little fool. She takes advantage of Melanie's belief in her very early, but secretly scorns her for being so gullible. The friendship develops between her and Melanie because Melanie shows that while she may be quiet, she is anything but weak. She is able and willing to stand up for what she believes, even facing the most domineering of the Atlanta women. She is also able to manage Scarlett when she feels the need to do so. This is the strength that Scarlett respects.
Scarlett's best and worst characteristic could be called "procrastination." She thinks she can put off acting like a lady until she has money, but never realizes that money doesn't make one a lady. However, she is able to handle the worst tragedies by thinking about them "tomorrow." She perfected the concepts "tomorrow is another day," and "things always look better in the morning." In many ways, it's not so much that she puts things off, but that she deals with the problems she can resolve at the moment and puts the other problems aside until she can create a solution. She creates her own problems, but doesn't whine about them. If she can't fix the problem, she simply ignores it.
艾希礼对斯嘉丽是一种羡慕和激情,因为他本身没有斯嘉丽身上那种生命力和活力,对一切都很冷漠,只活在自己幻想的美好世界中,如果说真的要对艾希礼的感情做个总结,那只能说他从来没爱过任何人,包括玫荔,也只是被他当做自己梦想世界的保护伞而已;至于瑞德,我觉得他是一个很精明、很有洞察力和魅力的人,他对斯嘉丽很爱,而且爱得很痴,哪怕是知道她有那么多缺点也依然爱。如果要更深入的研究的话,你可以留你邮箱给我,我有很多参考资料,我大学的毕业论文就是研究的《飘》。
