论托妮莫里森《宠儿》中宠儿的多重身份
摘要
托妮·莫里森是美国文学界最伟大的非裔美国女性作家之一,曾于1993年获得诺贝尔文学奖。1988年她的小说《宠儿》荣获普利策文学奖。该书自出版以来,受到了极大的关注,并被视为美国文学史上的杰作。《宠儿》揭示了黑人文化的独特远景,尤其在黑人女性的感受、体验、生活环境方面,凸显了种族主义时代的斗争和冲突。国内外学者运用不同的批评手段对宠儿的真实身份进行了研究。而本文探讨宠儿的心理身份和真实身份,试图突破传统束缚,理解宠儿的身份。
文中通过探讨人物宠儿的现实身份—塞丝的女儿和普通奴的代表及其精神身份—塞丝的母亲和丹芙的指引者,揭示黑人奴隶制的残酷本质以及对黑人所造成的身心上的巨大伤害以及美国黑人对独立精神的追求。除此之外,它也暗示了历史不能忘记,黑人们必须团结和保持独立自主的意识才能摆脱残暴的压迫。

Analysis of Multiple Identities of Beloved in Toni Morrison’s Beloved
Abstract
Toni Morrison is one of the most significant Africa-American female writers who won Nobel Prize in 1993. The novel, Beloved, which is considered as her best work, has won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. This work is considered as a masterpiece in literature history. Since Belove was published, many critics have been arisen. Both overseas and domestic scholars study the real identities of Beloved using different critical method, but the thesis studies Beloved’s spiritual identities and real identities to break through the shackles of tradition, and to understand the identities of the Beloved.
In the thesis, Beloved’s real identities are discussed—Sethe’s daughter and a survivor from the trade of slavery, and Beloved’s spiritual identities—Sethe’s mother and Denver’s guider. It reveals the cruel nature of black slavery and the great physical and psychological harm caused by it and the pursuit of black people’s independent spirit. In addition, it also implies that people should not forget history and the black must unite and keep independent consciousness to get rid of the brutal oppression.
Key words: Beloved; Multiple Identities; Slavery; Self-awareness
