Gone Girl begins with a suspense, which has attracted lots of readers. Facing serial mysteries, readers are interested in finding the suspect, but when they know the criminal, they think that gender relation behind the truth is more worthy of consideration, which makes them consider their identity again. From bizarre plots, readers can have an insight into the power relation between male and female and acclaim how Amy grasps her destiny in her brittle marriage. From a feminist perspective, social relations dominated by male still exist in modern society. However, the heroine Amy in Gone Girl is a feminist full of wisdom, and she refuses to be the appendage of man or submit to man’s authority. She makes use of her wisdom to fight against her husband, getting what she wants and having the initiative in their marriage in the end.
