兰斯顿·休斯《梦的变奏》的理想主义追求

Hughes's Pursuit of the Idea of Dream in Dream Variations

在追求梦想的过程中,美国黑人渴望的梦想具体外化并体现在对自然、对土地、对阳光的热爱上。休斯运用暗喻、对照,以及诗歌意象和格式等来表达自己在自然状态下过上一种无拘无束、无种族歧视生活的梦想。

Dream Variations which is written by Langston Hughes--one of the most prominent African American writers,is expressed how the American blacks pursue their idea of dream. In Hughes＇s American, African Americans were denied the American dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and many leaned toward their native Africa to find hope and the fulfillment of their dreams. In the process of the pursuit of the dream, the speaker longs for his dream and sees the externalization of it in his love for nature, the place and the sun. Through his carefully crafted poem that uses metaphors, specific differences in images and pattern, Hughes expresses his own dream： a life that mimics the freedom and colorblindness of nature, as idealized by his natural, African heritage.
