I. Introduction
Gone with the Wind is a treasure of the world’s literature and it impressed people a lot. The background of this novel is the American Civil War. It not only shows a romantic love story but also the changes of South America in the 1960s. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and its influence was enlarged when it was made into movie.
With the development of technology and science, human’s life is more and more colorful and abundant. But the over-pursuing of material makes the relation between human and nature more and more tense. So it is very necessary to analyze literary texts from the perspective of ecofeminism. Only through the overcoming of human’s self- centered sense and treating nature equally, can human and nature, man and woman get harmonious relation. It also can make human understand nature better, and awake human’s conscious of protecting nature. It is hoped that this research will further the study of this novel and help to appreciate its themes.
