A hasty and short first marriage
The first paragraph is because Ashley she loves is going to marry his cousin Merry. Even if she bravely confessed to him, the result was that he didn't love her. Then the war broke out to recruit soldiers. Before she left, she was shocked to see how they fell in love. At this time, Merry's brother Charles wanted her to confess. In order to punish Ashley and Merry, she agreed to marry him, and Ashley and Merry also got married. Seven weeks after Charles left, bad news came from the army. He fell ill and died before he could go to the front to fight. So Scarlett became a widow.
She said that being a wife is boring, and being a widow is really as decent as a dead man? ! Indeed, she can't have the happiness of unmarried girls. No parties, no dancing. The thought that Ashley no longer belonged to her made her even more miserable.
In Atlanta
Ellen, her mother, was very upset when she saw this scene, so she went to Atlanta to visit her menstruation Pitt. Because Ashley was going back to Atlanta for her holiday, Scarlett went in high spirits.
Finally, during a holiday in Ashley, Scarlett finally met him, but before leaving, he left the pregnant Merry with her. However, the war soon reached Atlanta. Scarlett went to the hospital as a nurse. She followed Dr. Meade with the potion. A room full of disabled soldiers, fleas and flies were flying around them, and the smell of rotting wounds and the cries of the wounded filled the air. Scarlett was exhausted and sweaty. Seeing all this, she felt sick and unbearable. She couldn't stand it any longer and rushed out of the hospital.
Seeing that all the people in the street had run away, she asked a soldier loudly. It turns out that the Yankees are coming, and they are going to evacuate. She ran on the dusty road and met Aunt Pete who was about to run away. Although she wanted to run away with her, it quickly occurred to her that Ashley would entrust Miley to her and Miley. So she hates Melanie. Why do you have a baby at this time?
? When I got home, I found that Meili was going to have a baby, which was very painful. Tell Prissy, the little slave, to call Dr. Meade. Prissy came back and told Scarlett that Mr. Meade was not in the hospital. She heard that he was in the station, but she was afraid of the piles of dead and wounded people in the station, so she was afraid to go. Scarlett was very angry with her, but she also got up the courage to go to the station to find Dr. Meade. She ran and ran and saw countless wounded people lying around the station in the distance, and the stench kept coming. When she got there, the wounded kept pulling her skirt and asked for water. She stepped over the wounded one by one, shouted loudly, and finally found Dr. Meade, but Dr. Meade was too busy to leave. When Scarlett went back, she asked the little black slave to help deliver the baby. Even though she had never done such a thing, she crustily skin of head and finally delivered the baby.
War and flight
She sat on the steps exhausted and suddenly remembered that the Yankees were coming in. So the little black slaves were sent to find Rhett, who stole the army carriage and came here, and a group of people ran to the road back to Tara. Only a narrow road was not blocked by the Yankees, and on both sides of the road were constantly burned materials and houses. They rushed out of the fire and finally left the city. Rhett is going to join the army at this time, so Scarlett can only drive the carriage back alone. When she finally came back to Tara after a lot of hardships, her father told her that her mother died of typhoid fever last night. Except Mammy, all three slaves ran away, and the Yankees took all the valuable things and food in the house. At this time, my father became dull. Miss Scarlett, once loved and cared for, has to support this family.
She remembered the whisky buried under the grape trellis and the sweet potato in the field a year ago, drank it for everyone, and then sent her father back to his room to sleep. She vowed never to let everyone go hungry again, and tried her best to manage the production of the manor and grow cotton. Later, when the South was defeated, General Lee surrendered and Ashley came back in rags.
Crisis and Challenge-Second Marriage
But one day, Will of the manor told her that the bag bearer had to collect the rent tax from Tara 300 yuan, and now she only had 10 yuan. She asked Ashley for help. Ashley said that she is a coward who has no choice but to do nothing about reality. She went to the prison to find Rhett again. She was humiliated, but she didn't borrow money. After she got out of prison, she was walking in the rain when she suddenly saw her sister's boyfriend Frank, who also greeted her. It turns out that Frank opened a shop and made a lot of money. In order to save Tara, she tricked his sister into marrying someone else and lured him to marry herself. Then she asked him for 300 yuan and finally paid Tara's tax. Then he used Frank's money to do wood business and made money.
Once, on her way from the city to the lumber mill, she was attacked by a black slave and a white man. It was Tara's slave Sam who saved her. When she got home, she was ashamed and angry. I thought I would get Frank's comfort and warmth, but as a result, he and Ashley were going to a political meeting. In fact, they organized the killing of blacks and dirty whites. At the same time, Rhett heard the news from the drunk Yankees, and the Yankees would fight back directly. So Rhett quickly asked about the specific situation. Merry told him. Merry, Scarlett and several other women are sewing at home. Suddenly, a soldier came in and asked where Ashley and Frank had gone. Merry said she didn't know. The soldiers just circled outside the house, waiting for them to come back.
After a while, Rhett and Ashley came back drunk singing, followed by the drunk doctor. Rhett's design convinced the soldiers that they had gone to Bell's brothel. So he successfully saved Ashley and others, but Frank was shot in the head and died. Rhett takes them to Bell's backyard, pretends that they are fighting for women here, and then dies.
The third marriage
Later, Rhett confessed to Scarlett. Scarlett thought they were very similar and he was rich, so they got married and went to Europe for their honeymoon. Later, they gave birth to a daughter named Bona. Rhett and Scarlett sometimes quarrel, but they spoil Bonnie in every way. Because Scarlett is always in contact with Ashley and still loves him, once Rhett was very angry and wanted to divorce her, so he took his daughter to London. After a while, my daughter said she wanted to go home and see her mother. So they went back. On the stairs, he and Scarlett quarreled again. Rhett pushes Scarlett away, and Scarlett falls down the stairs, and the second child is gone.
I had a rest for a while and finally got well. Two people watched their daughter Bona learn to ride a horse together. Suddenly, my daughter said she wanted to hurdle and lifted the hurdle. Rhett wouldn't let her jump. Scarlett stopped her, but she wouldn't listen. As a result, she fell off her horse and died, just like Scarlett's father. Rhett was heartbroken and refused to bury Bona. Merry was pregnant, persuaded her, and finally persuaded her. As a result, she fainted and saw a doctor. On her deathbed, Meryl told Scarlett that Rhett really loved her. Only then did she realize that she loved Rhett very much. The Ashley she loved before was just an imaginary image. She didn't know Ashley. At this time, she found that Rhett was gone. She braved the thick fog and ran home, like a scene that appeared in her dream countless times. Rhett finds it difficult to break a mirror. He is going back to his hometown. Scarlett tried to save it. Lying on the stairs, she suddenly remembered her beloved Tara and decided to go back to Tara tomorrow to think about how to win Rhett's heart back. She said sadly, tomorrow is another day!
Scarlett, who dares to love and hate, knows her purpose and never gives up trying to achieve it, regardless of other people's gossip or even her identity. She has her own unique charm. I think she should give us an attitude on how to face difficulties-create conditions unconditionally and try not to give up.
