解构《宠儿》中被忽略的边缘化白人女性:爱弥·丹芙

The Reconstruction of Amy Denver, the Marginalized Young White Woman

美国黑人女作家托尼·莫里森的《宠儿》一反传统黑人小说,在文本中添加了一位对女主人公塞丝的命运起有举足轻重作用的,以"他者"存在的白人姑娘——契约奴爱弥。虽然在当时的时代背景下,白人不可能善待黑人,但是爱弥所做的一切颠覆了传统的观念。通过对爱弥名字和身份的剖析说明了她在小说中的关键作用,通过爱弥的叙述眼光更直接地突出了黑奴所遭受的痛苦和屈辱。

In Beloved, Toni Morrison revolts the traditional black novels, describing Amy Denver, an indentured servant who exists as ＂the other＂ in the white-male dominated society, as an important healer to Sethe. Under the particular background of that period of history, the black is abused by the white. However, what Amy has done to Sethe deconstructs traditional beliefs. Her key role in the story is demonstrated through the exploration of her name and identity. And Amy＇s narrative perspective reveals the pain and shame which slaves are suffering more directly.
