“Tell Nannan I walked”: A Review of A Lesson Before Dying

作品描绘了20世纪40年代美国黑人种群对严重种族歧视和压迫所进行的反抗与斗争,展现了尊严、思想、身体、命运,乃至生命之间的相互关系。"人的尊严至高无上","只有思想自由了,身体才有可能自由。只要他们愿意,就可以站立起来抵抗自己的命运。"

This play depicts a group of African-Americans who fights against severe discrimination and suppression, and reveals the relations among dignity, thoughts, body, fate and life. The play holds that ＂human dignity is above all else＂, and that ＂only a free mind leads to a free body. As long as people have the wish, they can stand up and fight against their fate＂.
