《宠儿》与《最蓝的眼睛》中黑人母亲形象的比较分析

论文摘要

托妮·莫里森是美国文坛中一位杰出的黑人作家,也是第一位摘得诺贝尔奖桂冠的黑人女作家。她的小说描述了黑人的悲惨遭遇,同时还特别强调了黑人女性作为弱势群体的苦难生活。本篇论文将从托妮莫里森笔下的黑人母亲形象出发,对比了两位母亲的不同的母爱并试图挖掘两种母亲对孩子的影响。本文分别从历史和文化的角度对黑人母亲的相似点和不同点进行了比较。与此同时,本文研究了奴隶制压迫下白人文化霸权的抵制、文化殖民下本土文化的疏离这两个方面。通过本篇论文的分析,人们可以更好地理解莫里森及其他黑人作家的作品,并牢记本土文化历史和文化。莫里森号召女性必须捍卫本土文化和凝聚社区力量才能去恢复黑人的民族意识。
