Scarlett, a weak woman from the middle class, lives in such a specific era and is not bound by traditional ideas like many girls. She pursues freedom and has a distinct personality. She has always followed her own personal life, so she started her own business regardless of social speech. Such a person who can do anything for his own desires is successful in some ways. Besides, Scarlett is very brave and strong. After a series of great difficulties and setbacks, such as love frustration, civil strife and war, home reconstruction, daughter's death, husband's departure, etc. She was seldom timid, and she regained the initiative in life again and again. She clearly remembers such a detail, which is unforgettable. Scarlett came across a radish and jumped on it like a hungry wolf. When hunger made them haggard and threw themselves on the construction site, she could still stand up and shout to God. I want to get through this difficulty and I won't be hungry again. No, no one in my family will go hungry. Even if I am forced to steal and kill, as God is my witness, I will never go hungry again. This character vividly shows the American national spirit of struggling in adversity, pursuing personal independence, dignity, love and eternal optimism. At the same time, Scarlett is a realist. In the storm of war and the danger of hunger, she always has nightmares. Filling her stomach instead of choosing clothes for the dance became an urgent problem for her, and her Irish character was brought to the extreme at this time. Because she lost a whole pile of fresh cheese, she had to put on running shoes and look for a new pile in the unknown dark maze full of crisis. She obeyed the objective conditions so quickly and broke away from the past, so fast that she didn't even believe herself. When others are still recalling their own meddling life after the war, when others' dreams are still immersed in the afternoon sunshine after the banquet, when others' hearts are still wandering in the endless cotton fields, she bravely and decisively took the right step, shattered her dream of being a lady and started a timber business. The reason is that she only thinks that we can't starve. But has she ever thought about the contempt and indifference of her neighbors and friends tomorrow, and the loneliness and helplessness brought about by promiscuity and rudeness today? Maybe realism means drinking today and getting drunk today. Scarlett is a contradiction, but who is not a contradiction? She is on the road of life. When she faced difficulties, she chose to face them. When she faced the responsibility, she chose to take responsibility. But when she faced love, at first, he chose to deceive himself. When she finally realized, it was too late to face it. And when she is helpless, she will tell herself that tomorrow is another day, everything will be fine tomorrow, and tomorrow is another day. Throughout the story, she is full of vitality and fighting spirit. What I admire most is her sentence "Tomorrow is another day." Always full of hope and fighting spirit, never give up and never despair.

Melanie, she has almost all the advantages of oriental women. She is soft outside and hard inside, virtuous and gentle, and kind-hearted. She often only sees the best in everyone and gives good comments.

She was loyal to Scarlett from beginning to end. Whenever she is there to encourage her to help her, as long as Scarlett needs a friend, she will always be there. Scarlett has been inseparable from her for more than ten years. Scarlett gave her only a little, but she used her whole life to pay it back. I remember Melanie once said that no matter what happens, I will always love you, just like now, until I die with such a friend. What else can I ask for in my life? She is friendly to everyone around her, even Rhett, who is despised by everyone. After 1863, no one wants to receive Rhett, but she always tells people that Rhett is also a gentleman. Rhett was even more despised for not taking part in the war, but Melanie sheltered her even more because he inquired about Ashley for her and publicly announced that he would always be a welcome guest in her family as long as she was alive. No matter what others say about him, she doesn't mind being quiet and elegant. No matter what happens in the world, she keeps calm. She didn't panic when she saw Scarlett kill the Yankees. She also helped clean up the bodies, search for money and wipe blood. When she was weak and no one was working in the fields, she put down her past education and superiority and dragged her weak body to work in the fields. Although Melanie, who still maintained her virtue belief when she was injured, still bloomed a pure smile when she suffered losses. Although she also experienced war and death, her eyes were always so gentle and quiet, just like two candles lit on a stormy night, like a warm flame, jumping with strength and hope. Melanie died smiling. She implored Scarlett to take care of Ashley and the children and not let her know, and advised her to be nice to Rhett. What a saint! It makes people cry.

Rhett is a complicated man. He is well educated and kind, but he is out of step with the times. He is brave and persistent, and he can love Scarlett so much for more than ten years. He wanted to protect Scarlett, love Scarlett, take care of Scarlett and make her happy, but Scarlett refused. He said that even eternal love would be polished, and his love was polished by Scarlett, Ashley and Scarlett's stupid stubbornness. He had a keen eye and knew that the South would lose the war and made a lot of money in it. He is also passionate about this country. Even though he knew he would lose, he joined the army at the last minute. He lives a free life. Even if there is a war, he seldom cares about other people's ideas and won't entangle in public opinion, so he didn't marry the woman who was disturbed by some accident and sent her home before dark. And killed her cruel brother with better marksmanship. If he cared too much about other people's opinions, he wouldn't be like this, but he didn't. But his calm, smart and indomitable attitude led to the final outcome (of course, it has something to do with Scarlett). He loves Scarlett and knows Scarlett, but he never said it, only expressed it through actions, and Scarlett didn't know him. Disappointed again and again, I pinned all my hopes on my daughter. Finally, his daughter suffered misfortune. Finally, his most respected Mei Lan passed away. Only in Meilan did he see that the death of his "holy" Meilan made him completely desperate and stopped fighting for it.

Ashley was also born in a manor family, which can be said to be a pampered young master. However, his family is very different from other southerners. Ashley is a man with profound cultural connotation, and he is also an extreme visionary. His fantasy has caused his personality contradiction. The most prominent contradiction of this character is the understanding and acceptance of new things. For the whole war, most southerners are quite ignorant and arrogant. They always think that the winner of this war must be the south, but Ashley is an exception. Ashley's cultural self-cultivation makes him have the same keen and accurate understanding of things as Rhett, but his fantasy often makes his understanding meaningless, which is the biggest difference between him and Rhett. He knows the practical significance of this war, but this is not his concern. What he cares about is the destruction of his dream world. This can also be seen from his letter to Melanie. He mentioned in his letter that what he said about sacrificing his life and the life he loved was only symbolic. Ashley would rather keep her broken dreams than try to change the status quo to adapt to a new life. This is his greatest sorrow. As he himself said, he is a coward in this respect, because he has been escaping from the living reality. Ashley's contradiction and absurdity in understanding and accepting new things are doomed to be only suitable for stability and just a vase; Destined to be sad in character; In the end, it is doomed that he will be eliminated in the advancing society.
