踏上涅槃之路——托妮·莫里森小说的女性主义解读

托妮.莫里森对自己的定位是“黑人女性作家”,她多年来也始终围绕着种族与性别这两大主题进行着女性主义书写。在她的八部小说中有七部以女性为主角,而在仅有的一部以男性为主角的小说《所罗门之歌》中,女性人物的形象同样丰满突出。这样看来,读莫里森的小说就仿佛是在看一幕幕黑人女性成长的悲剧。其实,在莫里森的小说中有一条清晰的主线,即在性别与种族的双重压迫之下黑人女性踏上了一条自我追寻之路。莫里森的八部小说围绕着影响黑人女性一生的几大主题因素（美丽、友情、家庭、爱情、母爱、嫉妒、疗伤、女人间的争斗）展开,表现了黑人女性的苦难与救赎。

To the Nirvana--Feminist Interpretation of Toni Morrison's Novels

Toni Morrison always calls herself a female black writer： race and gender are the two basic motives in her all female creations. Seven heroines are protagonists in all the eight novels with the exception of Song of Solomon, in which female characters are also vivid and touching. Therefore , it＇s no exaggeration to result that Morrison insists on creating a series of tragedies of growing black women. As a matter of fact, readers can find an obvious central theme in the author＇ s novel creations, i.e. black women＇s self- pursuit under the double oppressions of gender and race. Beauty, friendship, family, love, maternal love, jealousy, self- curing, and the conflict between women are the eight influential factors in black women＇s lives, which Morrison＇s eight novels focus to reveal their sufferings and final salvation.
