中文摘要:《飘》是美国女作家玛格丽特·米歇尔十年磨一剑的作品,也是她唯一一部小说。国内外已经有众多学者从多角度对其进行了深入细致的研究。本文以法国著名的存在主义者,女权主义运动创始人之一的西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的著作《第二性》中的相关观点为理论支撑,以美国南北战争为时间线索来分析斯嘉丽女性主义思想形成过程。它分别描述了战争前,战争期间以及战争后斯嘉丽的生活状态以及思想情感,重点描述了她的爱情婚姻观,金钱事业观。本研究发现,随着战争的发展起伏,斯嘉丽由战前一位娇生惯养而又叛逆果敢的富家千金到战间无谓世俗偏见、不怕艰难险阻的寡妇遗孀成长为战后独立自主、保家护亲的家园卫士。在此过程中,由于各种艰难险阻,她的爱情观、金钱观逐渐发生了变化,女性主义意识也因而得到了很大的发展。通过本文研究,能够促使新一代的女性向斯嘉丽学习,不畏艰难险阻,不惧世俗偏见,努力追求自我解放与独立。
