“新世界女人”:托尼·莫里森的苏拉

″New World Woman″:Toni Morrison's Sula

托尼.莫里森(ToniMorrison)的小说《苏拉》(Sula)以“女巫”般的苏拉.皮斯为焦点,从苏拉所代表的“新世界女人”角度,探讨莫里森对苏拉的刻画充满道德暧昧性。苏拉与谢卓埃克的对比,以及与奈尔.莱特的对比正体现了黑人族群内部反叛与顺应,新与旧的相对性。由此,凸现黑人内部的复杂多元,并暗示改变的可能。

In Sula,Toni M orrison portrays a protagonist who supersedes forces of gender and race.Sula Peace consciously chooses to reject the values of her com m unity and actively establish self-identity.In this paper,M orrison's suggestive and indirective portrait of the character indicates the nature of Sula,who is the suitable representative of new wom an in the society.
