《飘》是一部取材于美国南北战争和战后重楚的小说,自从1936年出版以来便蜚声海内外。在作者玛格丽特·米切尔塑造的人物中,白瑞德是令人印象最深刻的主人公之一。我们不能单纯地评价他是个好人或坏人,只能说他是一个性格极其复杂的人。他在某种意义上是农奴主阶级向资产阶级转交的典型。是南方名门望族的一个不肖子。他为人狡诈,冷酷,倔强,为达到个人目的不择手段。但他的灵魂中又有极为高尚的一面,他爱孩子,连嬷嬷也为之心折。他那冷酷强悍的外表底下有的是温煦的人情,有的是人类最原始的美与善。在这里,我将作者赋予白瑞德的那种性格特点归结为——具有透视社会力量的雅痞。 Gone with the Wind floats is a novel based on the American Civil War and the post-war era, and has been famous both at home and abroad since it was published in 1936. Among the characters portrayed by author Margaret Mitchell, Reid is one of the most impressive protagonists. We can not simply evaluate him as a good person or a bad person, we can only say that he is an extremely complicated person. In a sense, he was typical of the transfer of the serfdom to the bourgeoisie. Is a dishonest son of the famous family in the south. He is cunning, cold, stubborn and unscrupulous for personal use. But there is a very noble aspect in his soul. He loves children and even his heart is broken. Under his cold and tough appearance, there are warmth of humanity, and some are the most primitive beauty and goodness of mankind. Here, I attribute the character that the author assigned to Baird, attributed to yuppies with a vision of social forces.
