析托尼·莫里森小说中隐喻的运用

An Analysis of the Application of Metaphor in Toni Morrison's Works

美国黑人女作家托尼.莫里森的小说创作具有鲜明的个人特征。在作品人物和环境的命名、结构的组织、内容的取舍等方面,莫里森善于运用隐喻来解构白人价值观,重构黑人的历史和文化价值,展示了黑人在过去和现在所遭受的奴役、歧视,形成了自己独具特色的叙述风格,使美国黑人女性文学形成声势并走向成熟。

Toni Morrison, the Black woman writer, exhibits her own special characteristies in her novels. With the masterly use of metaphor in the naming of characters and situations, organization of structure and option of content, she deconstructs the white-oriented idea of value, reconstructs the Black＇s history and value and exposes the thrall and discrimination the Blacks suffered and are still suffering. In this way, Morrison forms her specific style, which helps American Black female literature to broaden its influence and progressively mature.
