《飘》中的家园意识探究

对《飘》的研究多从小说南北内战的历史背景,奴隶主和奴隶的关系,人物的性格分析,以及南北方的文化冲突等等几个方面。更多的人把它当作一个爱情故事看待。家园意识是贯穿于全文的一个重要主题,不仅使人物形象更加丰满,而且也使小说的叙事结构完整统一。家园意识也是维系斯卡雷特与美国南方传统的纽带。正是强烈的家园意识使斯卡雷特不断获得力量,坚定地在乱世中生存和奋斗下去。

The Home Consciousness in Gone with the Wind

The study of Gone with the Wind has mainly concerned such aspects as the historical background of the American Civil War, the relationship between slave owners and slaves, Scarlett' s remarkable personality, and the conflicts between north and south cultures. Many more people read it as a love story. This paper argues that home consciousness is a persistent theme throughout the book which not only enriches the image of the character, but also guarantees the novel a compact and united structure. It is also the tie that connects Scarlett with the south tradition. It is just this strong home consciousness that enables the heroine to fight continuously and leads a steadfast life in the turbulent times. The study of this theme not only deepens the study of the novel, but also awakens peoples love for home, so the study of this theme is meaningful and rewarding.
