Introduction:As time passes by, world is changing day by day at an amazing speed. Each field is developing and bettering. This is a highly developed society; everything here is quite different from that of the past. Time went back to the American civil war, conditions were fairly terrible, but before the starting of the war people there lived a happy and luxurious life. When the civil war broke out, and after a long time of fighting, a number of soldiers were dead, buildings were destroyed. All those belonging to the tranquil nation were changed beyond recognition. People had no house to live in, no food to eat, even no clothes to wear. What a terrible situation one can imagine! Many of the noblewomen in the south chose a way to be degraded. But there was a young and great woman fighting against these difficulties, and she firmly lived though life was awfully hard. This paper would like to analyze modern females’ attitudes toward life from the respect of marriage and marriage life, family and family life, women’ s careers and their educational level through the female character of Gone with the Wind--- Scarlet. There had always been many disputes as to who should be responsible for women ’s happy life, and it has become the focus topic in today ’s society. The traditional viewpoints hold that man sho本论文由英语论文网www.51lunwen.org整理提供uld account for women ’s happy life. A successful man can give a woman what she wants. Another point of view is that the society should be responsible for women’ s happy life and every class of the society should pay more attention to women ’s happy life. In this respect, women are regarded as a weaker group. But another fact also deserves people’s attention that women are sometimes lowered down by themselves; they are likely to rely on men. Today we advocate that there should not be gender discrimination, women should be responsible for their own happy life.
