Abstract
Gone with the Wind is the representative work and also the sole book written by Margaret Mitchell. She is a famous American female writer and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. The work portrays the customs, minds and political attitudes of people during the American Civil War. The heroine Scarlett is one of the most persuasive women. By telling her life and love experience, the novel successfully reproduces the social life of that time.
Female and nature in Gone with the Wind are closely linked. They rely on each other. The circumspection of women makes them become the patron saint of nature, and nature is the silent harbour of women. Through the specific analysis of the relationship between women and nature, the paper uses the theory of ecofeminism to reveal women’s disillusionment when facing trouble, and finally to express people’s sincere hopes to build a harmonious society between human and nature.
