《最蓝的眼睛》中佩科拉的悲剧浅析

Analysis of the Tragedy of Pecola Breedlove in The Bluest Eyes

《最蓝的眼睛》中女主人公佩科拉是一位生活在经济严重萧条时期的黑人小女孩,深受着在美国主流社会流行并被认为神圣不可侵犯的文化价值观的毒害,偏执地以白为美。这种审美标准对她造成不可估量的肉体伤害与精神折磨。她自我意识的淡薄,反抗意识的缺失,在人际交往中自我认同感的缺失以及最终自认为拥有一双最蓝的眼睛的妄想都不可避免地导致了她的悲惨结局。

Pecola Breedlove, the heroine of The Bluest Eyes, is a black girl in the serious economic depression. She is poisoned by the so called sacred mainstream culture and values white as beauty. This aesthetic standard makes her suffer physical damage and mental torment. Her lack of selfconsciousness, rebellion and selfawareness in the interpersonal communication as well as the bluest eyes delusion inevitably leads to her tragic end.
