Unspeakable Things Spoken: Deconstructing the “Tree” Image in Toni Morrison’s Beloved

运用德里达的解构理论,解构托妮·莫里森《爱娃》中“树”的意象,并通过分析小说中四个人物对“树”的不同理解,表现作家如何依赖意象解读并重构历史,将黑人苦不堪言的过去诉诸言语。

This paper applies Derrida’s deconstruction theory to deconstruct the “tree” image in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, analyzes the different interpretations of the four characters in the novel and demonstrates how Morrison understands and reconstructs history by relying on images to speak out the unspeakable past of the black.
