Abstract Gone with the Wind is set in the southern society during American Civil War, when the black liberation movement broke out. However, in the novel the slaves neither have the liberation consciousness nor fight for freedom for themselves. Mitchell respects history and points out the inevitable trend of the abolition of slavery, but she does not attach due importance to the slaves’ desire for personal freedom in the novel. As a white writer who experienced the black liberation movement, Margaret Mitchell has ingrained slave consciousness, which is decided by her class limitation. Based on the analysis of the social background of Civil War and the author’s experiences, this thesis aims to explore the causes of the setting up of the three different types of blacks. A study will be conducted on slavery from the class limitation of the author, economic interests of the South and necessary abolition of slavery. Finally a conclusion can be reached that the author does not reflect the true life of the blacks and distort the slaves’ unremitting efforts for freedom.61646

摘要《飘》以美国内战时期的南方社会为背景,当时正直黑人解放运动。然而在小说中奴隶并没有为自己争取自由和解放的意识。作者尊重历史，指出了奴隶制废除的必然趋势，但黑奴对人身自由的渴望在小说中却没有得到一定的重视。作为一位亲身经历黑人解放运动的白人作家,玛格丽特·米切尔的奴隶意识根深蒂固，这是由于作者的阶级局限性所决定的。本文将联系当时内战的社会背景以及作者特殊的人生经历，对《飘》中三种不同类型黑人形象进行分析。将从作者的阶级局限性，南方的经济利益以及奴隶制度废除的必然性这三方面进行阐释，探讨三种黑人类型设立的原因。通过分析三种黑人形象设立的原因，最终可以得出作者并未反映奴隶的真实生活，以及曲解了黑人为争取自由做出的不懈努力这一结论。

1. Introduction
1.1 About the author
Gone with the Wind is the only novel of Margaret Mitchell who takes ten years to write. Due to the surrounding adults especially love talking stories occurred during the Civil War, these splendid and moving memories give her a profound influence, so the author involves her emotional experience to the novel.
It can be said that the prototype of the character Scarlett is Mitchell herself. Like Scarlett, Margaret was born with a rebellious temperament. When she was 18 years old, she met a young officer -- Cleveland, Henry Ford. She soon fell in love with him. Henry is a handsome man with poet’s temperament, and this man may be the character of Ashley in Margaret’s mind. However, war took away the life of the young man, and also brought pain to Margaret’s life. This is probably the source of Scarlett’s hot and crazy love for Ashley. Mitchell establishes such a role in honor of her first lover. Her first unfortunate marriage resulted from getting married with a ruthless and alcoholic man impulsively. Then she married John Marsh who supported her to complete Gone with the Wind in writing. As the author notes: “She has never really understood her love to any one of the two men, so she lost both of them.” This is a summary of Scarlett’s love, and also the author’s love. 源:自/751-·论,文'网·www.751com.cn/
