从自然主义受害者到现实主义新黑人——论《土生子》中主人公的成长历程

From a Naturalistic Victim to a Realistic New Negro ——on the development of the hero in Native Son

本文从《土生子》的几个主要场景,分析了主人公托马斯·别格从追求自己的梦想、本能的冲动和发泄内心积蓄的压抑到产生对自己的行为动机、思想活动进行质问、思考的飞跃,继而由于自我意识的苏醒而获得内心解放,从而完成了从一名自然主义受害者到现实主义新黑人的这一过程。

Based on several main scenes in Native Son, this essay analyzes the process of how the central character Bigger Thomas develops from a naturalistic victim to a realistic new Negro, during which he pursues his dream, expresses his suppression out of instinctive urge, and then begins reflecting about his motives and actions and finally with the awakening of his self-consciousness, achieves liberation within himself.
