Abstract

       Toni Morrison is the only Afro-American woman writer who wins the Nobel Prize for literature, and her works are well-known for vivid images, copious emotions and profound thoughts. Her works are always presented on behalf of the black women and full of tragedies. A general theme goes through all her fictions: the tragic life of the black people and the conflict between the white culture and the black culture.
In Beloved, Morrison tells people a story about a black slave woman who has a tragic life but never gives up her faith in self-growth. Through the different growing experiences of three generations, the fiction reveals the humble position of the black women and their difficult process of growth under the oppression of racism and sexism. On the one hand Morrison shows the real situation of the black women from a distinct point of view, and demonstrates their pains and sufferings. On the other hand, through the tragic story of Beloved, Morrison also shows people the great strength and self-growth of the black women. Although the growing process is full of difficulties, the black women, through the efforts of generations, finally build themselves up, and bravely face the present and the future.

       托尼·莫里森是美国唯一一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女性作家，其小说以鲜明的形象,丰富的感情和深刻的思想而著名, 她的作品总是代表着黑人女性并充满了悲剧色彩。在她的小说中始终可以感受到一个主题：“美国黑人命运的残酷，以及白人文化和黑人传统文化之间的冲突和对峙。”
在《宠儿》中，莫瑞森就讲述了一个生活在悲剧中但却始终不放弃信念的黑人女奴的悲惨故事；通过三代人不同的成长经历展现了处于弱势地位的黑人妇女在种族主义和性别主义的双重压迫下艰难的心路历程。一方面，莫里森用她独特的视角讲述黑人妇女真实的处境，使人们可以强烈深刻地感受到黑人妇女的痛苦经历。另一方面，通过《宠儿》的悲剧故事，莫里森向人们展示了黑人妇女的力量与自我成长。尽管成长的过程充满荆棘，但通过一代又一代的努力，黑人女性最终成长起来，开始勇敢地面对现在和未来。
