Scarlett stole her boyfriend, Frank, so Suellen was forced to marry Will, a poor white man she didn't love. But the woman Will loved all his life was Carreen. Her sister stole her boyfriend, and her husband couldn't stop thinking about her younger sister. Suellen's life was a tragedy. At last, unable to take it anymore, she launched a suicidal attack on her heartless husband. Sadly, she died before she could succeed. Yet at the moment of her death, she was reborn.
This is an utterly unrealistic wish-fulfillment story about an unattractive nobody turning the tables on a beautiful rich woman. It's a shameless revenge story about a devoted, deeply loving, handsome and wealthy man who, after being tormented by a selfish, heartless beauty, finally erupts in anger and heartbreak.
The entire plot is just to vent my frustration, so please don't tear into me. If it's not for you, move along.
A solemn statement: I'll do my best not to vilify Scarlett. Her courage, strength, tenacity, and stubbornness later in the story will be praised just as they are. But her sharp tongue, spitefulness, greed, snobbery, cruelty, obsessiveness, wilfulness, arrogance, and selfish habit of using her beauty to steal other people's happiness time and again will also be emphasized. The fact is, she brazenly stole her sister's lover without a shred of shame, and relentlessly took other women's men as well. She has no moral scruples. I won't smear her, but she's not worth whitewashing, either.
At the same time, the heroine, Suellen, isn't an innocent white lotus. She's selfish, petty, spiteful, and dark-hearted too. But she follows the basic moral standards expected of women in that era. She respects her father, though she's not close to him, and obeys her mother. She may not be especially kind to her younger sister, but she would never thoughtlessly steal the man her sister loves. She doesn't ruin other people's romances or marriages, or flirt to show off. Even though old Frank is a poor match for her, she waits for him sincerely for years. While he is away at war and missing, she never tries to marry someone else. Only after Frank betrays her does she lose heart and choose another husband.
Neither woman is a simple, kind-hearted heroine in the traditional sense of a romance novel. This is a contest between one selfish woman and another selfish, obsessive woman. One is beautiful and has the qualities that attract the male lead, but she's arrogant, shortsighted, stubborn, and conceited. The other has the advantage of knowing what lies ahead and a firm goal, but lacks the qualities that would make the male lead fall for her at first sight or grow more enamored the second time around. And because the heroine's revenge begins on the wrong foot, it has no real significance as revenge at all.
I'm so excited right now! My dear friend with the cowlick drew this portrait of the silly little Suellen.
Here's a new story by a good friend:
A new project is underway! Click here to read: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=3100473 The Mighty Legend of the Eldest Young Master of the Jia Family, Who Isn't Named Jia
Theme:
I read this novel for the second time and read the comments. I didn't expect that these novels were written many years ago. Since I read Su Ellen's fan fiction, I have found a few more, but the fan fiction is nothing like the original novel. Each one upholds the reserve of a southern lady, which attracts Rhett to death. It's really funny. If you really like a famous lady, the brother who fights with Rhett will not die, but will become a good relative! The author's article is really good to read. I sincerely express my sincere gratitude to the author.
So people basically don't have OOC, so they really have to like it like 10086 times. I like this better than Scarlett's rebirth and chasing after Rhett
I found that the long review discussed some issues with the translation I read. Since I read it too early and have no impression of the translator, I won't go into details here. Back to the topic of the article, has Sijia done anything that others think is unforgivable, or that seriously hurts others?
Frankly speaking, yes.
I don't know if readers of the original novel have such an impression. On the night when Frank went to the Ku Klux Klan, India was also at Scarlett's house. She was a pale and thin old girl who died after the Stuart she liked (I have no idea whether they were engaged or not) went to war, and her sister Honey's fiancé was also snatched away by Scarlett. Her anger towards Scarlett was suppressed in her heart for a long time. There is also such a place. To Melanie, Scarlett says from beginning to end that Melanie is stupid, underdeveloped, and a short girl. She does not want to believe that Ashley does not like her and wants to marry Melanie. And the entire book, the tragedy of Charles, the tragedy of Sue Ellen, the tragedy of Frank, and even the departure of Rhett and the tragedy of Little Wade and Little Ella in the end, isn't it caused by her self-righteousness?
Yes, everyone hopes that in the face of disaster, poverty, and all difficulties and misfortunes, we can live like Sijia, be strong and never be knocked down. After hurting others, someone can understand our last resort and selfishness, and then have a safe haven to protect us everywhere.
Melanie is the person we long for in peacetime. As the book says, no one dislikes her and everyone respects her. She is like a spiritual symbol, but she does not have so many suitors. It has nothing to do with beauty. Her own moral requirements for herself cannot allow her to engage in non-standard coquettishness, just like many girls who appear as bright as summer in the book at the beginning. Aren't they strong and independent? Didn't they work so hard to rebuild their homes, defend their homes, and take care of their families and other people after the disaster?
Just because they are not the protagonists, they live quietly in the secular perspective of moral standards, and their lives are reduced to foils.
There is nothing wrong with being strong, there is nothing wrong with being independent, there is nothing wrong with loving money and being greedy, especially in that era, but none of this should be based on the blood and pain of others. In other words, if you hurt others and still step on their pain, you deserve to end up like that.
Melanie persuaded Scarlett, Ellen persuaded Scarlett, and Rhett also persuaded Scarlett, but she insisted that everyone was stupid and stupid. She took the initiative to place herself on a high altar and despised all the ordinary people around her. In the end, she found that the altar was built on wealth and reputation, on the maintenance of husbands one by one, on Melanie's friendship to Ashley's fantasy, and on Rhett's constant concessions.
It is understandable that she fell down in the end.
I don't sympathize with Frank. When he was obsessed with beauty and gave up on Sue Ellen, he deserved to be played around by Scarlett, but he still did what he should do for his wife. I also don't sympathize with Rhett when he lost Scarlett and left sadly. If it weren't for his connivance, Scarlett's arrogance would have hurt each other sooner or later. It just depends on the time.
The real ones who were hurt from beginning to end but had no place to cry out were the pretty girls who laughed at the beginning, Honey who was later snatched away from her fiancé, Carmine who loved someone other than her lover, India who took care of the whole family on her mother's behalf, Sue Ellen who waited for Frank for many years and finally sacrificed for Tara, Melanie who was sincerely good to Scarlett but was hurt by her from beginning to end, and poor Charles, little Wade and Ella.
And all these victims were buried under Scarlett's strong self and became part of her show off.
Ps: Frankly speaking, when we really lived in those times, we didn't know what kind of person we would become. We couldn't be sure of being Scarlett, we couldn't be sure of being Ellen, and we couldn't be sure of being Melanie.
I like this novel so much
Yan zai yan zai, how can I live without you? I've been bored to death recently, looking for novels everywhere, and accidentally read a fanfic by Piao, and then read the author's article. Now I really want to read the fanfic written by the author.
Great, very beautiful, thumbs up!!!
It's an excellent fanfic. I bought the whole story, so keep it up. Looking forward to your new article.
I spent one night and finished reading it at 7:30 this morning. I think the writing is great. At first, you may think that the heroine is stupid, jealous, bitter and mean. She is obviously a standard female supporting character. How can she be the heroine? The author's characterization is so well done that I can't help but gravitate towards the heroine after seeing her real plight and cute personality. The writing is very good, and the description of the male protagonist is also very good. Anyway, I brought the movie version of Rhett into it. After finishing it, I found that I liked the author's portrayal of Captain Butler more. How bad is it?
It looks great, I still want to see it, but it's a pity it's no longer available?
