　　摘要
　　托尼8226；莫里森是美国唯一一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女性作家，其小说以鲜明的形象，丰富的感情和深刻的思想而著名，她的作品总是代表着黑人女性并充满了悲剧色彩。在她的小说中始终可以感受到一个主题：美国黑人命运的残酷，以及白人文化和黑人传统文化之间的冲突和对峙。
　　在《宠儿》中，莫瑞森就讲述了一个生活在悲剧中但却始终不放弃信念的黑人女奴的悲惨故事；通过三代人不同的成长经历展现了处于弱势地位的黑人妇女在种族主义和性别主义的双重压迫下艰难的心路历程。一方面，莫里森用她独特的视角讲述黑人妇女真实的处境，使人们可以强烈深刻地感受到黑人妇女的痛苦经历。另一方面，通过《宠儿》的悲剧故事，莫里森向人们展示了黑人妇女的力量与自我成长。尽管成长的过程充满荆棘，但通过一代又一代的努力，黑人女性最终成长起来，开始勇敢地面对现在和未来。

　　Introduction
　　ToniMorrisonistheonlyAfroAmericanwomanwriterwhowinstheNobelPrizeforliterature。ItconfirmsherrenownandmakesheroneofthemostinfluentialwritersinAmericahistory。FromTheBluestEyetoLove，eachofherfictionshasexertedvibratinginfluenceupontheliteraryworld。InthefictionsofToniMorrison，thereisadistinctandeternalthemewhichcanbefeltandtouchedclearly：thetragiclifeoftheblackpeopleandtheconflictbetweenthewhitecultureandtheblackculture。
　　Beloved，afamousfictionbyToniMorrisonin1987whichwinsthe1988PulitzerPrize，bestexemplifiesthethemeandherthoughtsabouttheblacks，especiallytheblackwomen。ThestoryofBelovedcomesfromatrueevent：In1850，MargaretGarner，aKentuckyfugitiveslavewoman，wouldratherchoosedeathforherselfandherchildrenthanbeingreturnedtoslavery。Butsheonlykilledoneandtherestwererecapturedandsold（Zhu144）。WhenToniMorrisonheardthisstory，shewasdeeplymovedanddecidedtowritedownit。After10yearsofgestatingand3yearsofwriting，shefinallyfinishedthisgreatwork。Onceitwaspublished，itshookthewholeAmericanliterarycircleandculturalcircle，andwasconsideredamilestoneinthehistoryofAfroAmericans。
　　Peoplealwaysthinkthattheblackwomenarecoquettish，crude，strongandhumble，andtheycanbearmorepressurethanthewhitewomen。However，Morrisonarguesthattheyarewrong。ThroughherfictionsMorrisonrevealsthattheblackwomenhavethesameemotionjustasotherpeopledo。Morrisonisalwaysproudofherblackstatus。Infact，theblackwomencontributealottoAmerica，andeventothewholeworld，buttheystillcan’tbeacceptedbythesociety。
　　Actually，peopleknowverylittleabouttheblackwomen，andaboutthetroublestheymetandtherespecttheyshouldgetintheirwork，intheirmarriage，intheircharacterasamother，intheirspirituallifeandtheirbelief。Morrisonalwaystriestoexpresstootherpeoplethatthoughtheblackwomenhaveatragiclifetheynevergiveuptheirfaithinselfgrowth，andthoughtheirgrowingprocessisfullofdifficulties，theyfinallybuildthemselvesup，andbravelyfacethepresentandthefuture。
　　I。TheTragedyandGrowthoftheBlackWomen
　　A。TheTragedyoftheBlackWomen
　　Whitepeoplebelievedthatwhateverthemanners，undereverydarkskinwasajungle。Swiftunnavigablewatersswingingscreamingbaboons，sleepingsnakes，redgumsreadyfortheirsweetwhiteblood。Themorecoloredpeoplespenttheirstrengthtryingtoconvincethemhowgentletheywere，howcleverandloving，howhuman，themoretheyusedthemselvesuptopersuadewhitesofsomethingNegroesbelievedcouldnotbequestioned，thedeeperandmoretangledthejunglegrewinside。Thescreamingbaboonlivedundertheirownwhiteskin；theredgumsweretheirown。（Morrison198）
　　InBeloved，theschoolteacherisatypicalwhiteman；heseemstobeimpartialandobjective。Butwhatheandhisnephewsdidwasreallybrutal：inordertodosocalledresearch，heusedtogaugetheblackslaves，likethedraughtanimals。OneofthenephewshadnursedSethewhilehisbrotherheldherdown。Thewhitepeopledogoodorevilthingsjustastheylike，andtheblackpeoplehavenochoices，butreceiveall。Withthecomingofthemodernsociety，thescientificanddemocraticspirithasbeenputaroundtheUnitedStates，butnevertheAfricaAmericans。Theghostsoftheblackslavesaretheirrefutableevidence。Morrisononcesaid，herworksarefortheblackpeoplethemselves。Theblackpeopleshouldlovethemselves；especiallytheblackwomenneeddoso。
　　InBeloved，Sethehastokillherdaughter，andundoubtedlythat’sabigtragedy。Besides，Belovedherselfisatragedytoo。Shecomestothisworldatawrongtime，andiskilledbyhermother。Whenshecomesback，sheistreatedasanevil。AttheendoftheBeloved，Morrisonwrites：
　　Everybodyknewwhatshewascalled，butnobodyanywhereknewhername。Disrememberedandunaccountedfor，shecannotbelostbecausenooneislookingforher，andeveniftheywere，howcantheycallheriftheyknowhername？Althoughshehasclaim，sheidnotclaimed。Intheplacewherelonggrassopens，thegirlwhowaitedtobelovedandcryshameeruptsintoherseparateparts，tomakeiteasyforthechewinglaughtertoswallowherallaway。（Morrison274）
　　Althoughthedaughter’snameisBeloved，shenevergetslove。Nobodylovesher，sheisjustconsideredaghost，andeverybodyexpelsher。Infact，theblackwomenareborntobelookeddownupon。Theyarelookeddownuponbythewhitepeople，andevenbysomeblackmale。Soactually，theyarethemosttragicpeopleintheworld。Theyalwayshavetobearthepainsandsufferingsbothfromraceandsexdiscriminationwhichisheavilyimposedonthem。
　　Theblackwomenarelookeddownuponforthecoloroftheirskinallthetime。AlthoughtheAmericanConstitutionsaysthateveryoneisequalinthesociety。Butinreality，coloredpeople，especiallytheblackwomen，neverhaveequalrightsandrespect。Theyusuallystayatthebottomofthesociety。
　　InAmericansociety，generally，peopleholdtheideathatonlythewhitepeopleareinthemainstream。TheywouldliketopideAmericansintoseveralclasses。Ofcoursethewhitepeoplearethefirstclasspeople，andtheyarethecenterofthesociallife。Therearenoblacksorothercoloredpeoplewhocanbethepresident，oreventheleadingofficers。Forthewhitepeople，theybelievetheyare，undoubtedly，superiortotheblackpeople；theblackpeoplewereborntobeslaves，orthelowestclasspeople。Atthelateofthe19thcentury，theblackpeople’shumanrightsandcivilrightshadbeenacceptedinlaw，butinpracticetheywerestilloppressedphysiologicallyandintelligently。Forlaw，itprescribesthateveryoneisequal，butitdoesnotprescribethatthewhiteandblackpeoplecansittogether，sharethepublicequipmenttogether，orworktogether。Therefore，inmanyplaces，thewhitesandtheblacksaresegregated。Inrestaurant，therearetheWhites’ZoneandtheBlacks’Zone；inthetrain，therearedifferentcarriagesforthewhitesandtheblacks。
　　Inthepast，theblackpeopleweretoldthatthereasonwhytheywereblackwasbecausetheirbloodwasblack，andtheyweredyedwiththeblackblood。Somanyblackwomentriedtofindhusbandswhichwerewhitertomixbecausetheybelievedthattheblacknesswoulddisappearinthatway。InBeloved，grandmaBabySuggsponderedcolorduringherlostyears。Tookheralongtimetofinishwithblue，theyellow，thengreen。Shewaswellintopinkwhenshedied。（Morrison201）Sheusedthelittleenergyleftherforponderingallkindsofcolors，exceptredandblackwhichreferstothebloodandtheblackpeople。Shesaid，thecolorswouldn’thurtpeople。However，it’sthecolorthatreallyhurtspeople，evenkillspeopletheBlacks。Inthewhites’opinion，beingdarkisugly，andblackisequaltoevil，whilebeingwhiteisbeautiful。Thentheblackwomenwerefacedwithevenmoreproblems。Theirfigureswereusuallyabused，disparaged，distortedandevenusedasweaponstoattackthemselves。Manyblackwomencouldn’tbearsuchmiseries，theyhadtoabandontheirownfigures，andturntomasks。
　　Inthesociety，menareconsideredtobeindependent，offensive，competitive，rational，andintrepid，whilewomenaresuchagroupthatmostofthemareoppressedbysexdiscrimination。Manyblackwomenfeelthattheyalwaysseethemselvesthroughothers’eyes，treasuretheirownsoulsbythewhites’rule，andtheworldalwayslooksdownuponthemandshowsnomercytothem。Theyreallyfeelhorrorintheirinnerheart。Theysuffernotonlyintheirsouls，butalsointheirbodies。
　　AlthoughEverybodyhashislibertyandright。（詹妮特412），femaleisunequaltomaleeverywhere，forexample，inthefamilyfemaleusuallytakesonallthehousework，andtakecareofthechildren。Itisconsideredthatwomenareborntobehousewives。Theyareborntolookaftertheirhusbandsandtheirdutyistogivebirthtochildren。Inthosedays，womendidn’thavetheirrightsandwasn’trespected。Theywerejustlikemen’saccessories。TheblackwomenmadecontributionstotheUnitedStates，andthesocietyhadneverstoppedenjoyingthebenefitsmadebythem。Butasablackwoman，nomatterhowsmartsheis，howmuchabilityshehas，andhowbeautifulsheis，shealsocan’tbeacceptedeasilybythewhitesociety。Theyarestilldiscriminatedandcrashedbypeople’soldprejudicialideas，andareruledbytheworldofthewhitepeople。Theoldideaholdsthatifablackwomanisstrong，sheisnotbeautiful，andevencannotberegardedasawoman；butifshedoesaservantwork，preparingfoodandsettingakidtogotoschool，shemustbestupid。Therefore，theblackpeoplearelookedthroughglasseswithcolor。Nomatterwhattheydo，theyalwayssufferfromdiscrimination；nomatterhowsuccessfultheyget，theyarestilllookeddownuponfortheirblackskins。Thatisabiginjuryintheirinnerheart，andthepublicopinionandpressuregivethemtheallusionthattheycannotdoanything。Theyhavetowaitforthedefinitionandevaluationbythewhitepeople。
　　Withtheriseoffeministmovement，somewomenbegantorealizethattheyshouldhavetheirrights。Then，womenbegantofightfortheirownrights。Butmostofthemarewhitewomen；theyjustfightfortheWhite。However，theyexcludedtheblackwomenfromgettingintothem。So，whenthewhitewomengraduallywintheirrightsinpoliticaloreconomicrealm。Theblackwomenarestilloppressedandhavetolivetragiclives。Becausetheoppressionisdoubled，theyhavetobeartheoppressionbothfromthemenandthewhitewomen。Somewhitewomensaidthattheycallforthesisterhoodwithoutracialism，andtheywanttolettheblackwomenjointhemtogetherforthismovement。Itseemsthattheyjustwanttoinvitetheguesttheblackwomenasahost。So，manyblackwomenbelievedthatitisnotgoodforthemanditisuselessforthemtotakepartinthemovementtofightforthewhitewomen。
　　Therefore，itcanbesaidthattheracialdiscriminationwillexistforalongtimebecauseofthesocialsystem，andtheblackwomenwillstillliveintheirtragiclivesforalongtime。
　　B。TheGrowthoftheBlackWomen
　　ThereisamottoofIrishRevolutionYoushouldsallyoutbyyourselfifyouwantliberty（詹妮特467）that’sfitfortheblackwomenabsolutely。Theblackwomenmustfightbythemselvestowinthelibertyandrights。Andalso，peoplealwayssaythatwherethereisoppression，thereisresistance。Theblackwomen’ssituationisbad，buttheyneverlosetheirfaith。Theyaremakingunremittingeffortstofindtheirwaystoabetterfuture。That’stheirstrengthandgrowth。
　　Becauseoftheslavery，grandmaBabySuggswasdeprivedofrightstobetheothers’friend，daughter，wife，motherandsoon，andshehadsevenchildren，butwasallowedonlytoleaveherlittlesonHallebyherside。Thisisheronlychancetobeamother。Butatthattime，thechildrenoftheslavemothersdon’tbelongtothem；allofthemaretheprivatepropertyoftheslaveowner，andlikethetoolsofworkers，theyaretreatedequaltothelivestock。BabySuggshatestheWhitesverymuchandshehopesthereisaclearplaceleftforher。ButwhentheWhitesbreakintotheyard，shecandonothing，butjustacceptit，ponderingcolorandwaitingfordeath。Beforeshehasbeenransomed，shehasnoideasaboutherself。Aftershegetsfreedom，sherealizesthatiftheBlackswanttogetliberty，theyshouldknowtheirownvalue，andlearntolovethemselves。So，inthewoods，sheappealshercompatriotsforlovingthemselves：
　　Loveyourhands！Lovethem。Raisethemupandkissthem。Touchotherswiththem，patthemtogether，strokethemonyoursface’causetheydon’tlovethateither。Yougottoloveit，you！Andallyourinsidepartsthatthey’djustassoonslopforhogs，yougottolovethem。Thedark，darkloveit，loveit，andthebeatandbeatingheart，lovethattoo。Morethaneyesorfeet。Morethanlungsthathaveyettodrawfreeair。Morethanyourlifeholdingwombandyourlifegivingprivateparts，hearmenow，loveyourheart。Forthisistheprize。（Morrison89）
　　Obviously，lovingthemselvesisthefirststepthattheblackbegintofindtheirownidentityandgrowup。
　　Infact，theblackwomenareneveryieldtotheoutside。WhenSethegetstoknowthattheschoolteacherandhisnephewsaredoingresearchaboutblackslavesandputSethe’shumancharacteristicsontheleft；heranimalonesontheright，（Morrison193）Sheisshockedandswearsthatshewouldneverallowherchild’scharacteristicstobeputontheanimal’sside。So，whenherhusbandHalleandSixo’sfirstescapeplanfails，sheresolutelydecidestoescapealoneandthenshedoesit。Inthissense，Sethe’sescapeisthedemonstrationofherstrengthandselfgrowth。Whenshekillsherdaughter，herintensematernalloveisdriventoextremes。Thatmeansthataslavefirstlydominatesherownlife。Undoubtedly，sheuseshercourageandstrengthtochallengethesociety。
　　WhenPaulD，herboyfriend，knowsthetruthofthefactsaboutSethe’skillingmatter，heaccusesherYourloveistoothick。Butsheanswers，Loveisoritain’t。Thinloveain’tloveatall。（Morrison164）Here，anationalitywhichhaslosttheirwordsforalongtimefinditsownsoundsandcharactersfromawoman。Morrisonchoosesthewomenwhoareoppressedbyraceandsextobetheleadingactorsofhernationalheroepic，andtofindawayoutforthenationality。Thatdoesnotdisobeythenationalhistory，theactualactualities，andthestrengthofblackwomen，butembodiesherconsistentthinkingabouttheblackwomen。
　　Whentheschoolteacheriscoming，Sethedecidestokillherchildrentoexchangetheirlastingfreedom。Whenshecutsthebaby’sthroat，shebelievesthatshehastherighttoexchangeherlifeforfreedom。Atthatmoment，Sethehasalreadybeguntofindsomewaystogetlibertyanddetermineherchildren’sdestinyherself。
　　AndforDenver，attheendoftheBeloved，shefinallyrealizestheonlywaytoprotecthermotherisShewouldhavetoleavetheyard，stepofftheedgeoftheworld，leavethetwobehindandgoasksomebodyforhelp（Morrison243）Knowit，andgoonouttheyard。Goon。（Morrison244）Withtheencouragementofherpassedgrandma，Denverfinallyhasthecouragetogoouttheyard，andfoundherfirstjob，thenthesecond，andthethird。WhenPaulDwantstoexpresshisopinionaboutBeloved，shestopshim，Ihavemyown。（Morrison267）Denvergoesoutoftheyardwithselfconfidence，sheknowswhosheis，andfinallyshehasfoundheridentity。
　　Thethreewomen’schangesdemonstratethegrowingprocessoftheblackwomen。Nomatterhowhardthesituationis，theyinsistontheirfaithallthetime。Inthepast，peoplealwaysthinkthattheyaretheweakgroup。Buttheydon’tacceptit；theyprovetheirstrengthintheirownways。AndforMorrison，shealsohasherownwaystoshowherspiritofresistance。Whensheisnotafamousauthorattheverybeginning，herworkisrefusedtobepublishedforseveraltimes。Butshedoesgiveup。Finally，shemakesit。ShebecomesaveryfamouspersonandwinstheNobelPrize。Inface，shealwayswritesstoriesfortheblackwomen，andsheisveryproudofherstatus。Sheoncesaidthat，sheisnotonlyablackwriter，butmoreimportantly，ablackfemalewriter。Shejustusesherworkstoprovethattheblackwomenwillnotalwaysbesilentandpassive。Theblackwomenwillgraduallybreaktheprejudiceagainstthemandgrowuppsychologicallyandintellectually。
　　ThereisafamouscaseofBrownVSBoardofEducationinthehistoryoftheirstrugglesandgrowth。Brownisablackgirl，andthusisrefusedtogointothewhites’schoolbecauseofracialsegregation，butshedoesnotacceptit。SherejectsitandaccusestheBoardofEducation。Atlast，thehighcourtjudgesshewinsthecaseandshefinallycangointothisschoolequallywiththewhitestudents。
　　Undoubtedly，theblackwomennowwillnotjustwaitforoppression。Theircommonaimistooverthrowtheideathattheyshouldbeobedient。Theycallforrespectanddemandtoshareeducation，chances，dutiesandrights。Theyarenotwillingtostayathome，andsubordinatetotheirhusbandsanylonger。Infact，therearemoreandmoreoutstandingblackwomenwhocomeout，andbuildupmanyassociationstocallfortheirrightswhichtheyoughttohave。Graduallytheblackwomengointoschoolsandhavethesamechancesforeducation，andcomeintothesocietyandhavethesamechancesforvoting。Theyknowthoughtheroadforthemisverydifficulttogo，theystillbelievethattheycanmakeit。Theywillnotstoptheirfightinguntiltheygettheirrights。
　　Infact，throughtheirefforts，thesituationoftheblackwomenisgettingbetter。Ofcourse，theystillhavemanyhindrances，butmorepeoplearechangingtheirideasabouttheblackwomen。Gradually，theblackwomenarenottreatedasmachineswhicharealwaysdoingthewashing，cookingorevenjustgivingbirthtochildrenanymore。
　　Nowadays，theblackwomenhavetheirunionsorassociations，andmoreandmoreblackwomenbegintojointhem。Theycanexpresstheirvoicesthroughtheseunions。Moreimportantly，theybegintodemonstratetheirgrowthandstrengthinmanyfields。Therearetheblackwomen’sfiguresinmanycompanies，andsomeofthemareeveninthemanagement。Thereareevensomeblackwomenwhotakepartinpolitics。Inthissense，theblackwomenhavealreadyprovedtheirvalueandimportance。Theyareneverlackofpowerandstrength。
　　II。BlackWomenNowadays
　　Today，moreandmorepeoplerealize，thoughtsomeimprovementoftheblackwomen’ssocialposition，thatitisaproblemthattheblackwomenarestilltreatedimproperly。Theyhavefoundtheblackwomen’sadvantagesandknowtheyareasthesameasotherpeoples。Afterconstantstruggles，thesituationisgettingbetter，andmoreandmoreblackwomenaregraduallyacceptedbythesociety。
　　Aftertheyareoppressedbyracialdiscriminationandsexdiscriminationforseveralcenturies，theblackwomennotonlybegintofeedtheirfamily，butalsobecomeleadersofcompaniesorstarsinmedia。Andsomeofthemareeveninthearmyorthegovernment。Therearealsomanyblackwomeninthenationalorworld’sathleticscompetitionswhocontinuouslywinthefirstplace，andbreaktherecord。Theydoaverygoodjobinmanyareas。Forexample，inliterature，news，music，dance，drama，andscience，theymakeverygreatcontributionstobothAmericaandtheworld，andamongthemaretheTalkShowQueenOprahWinfrey，thePoetMayaAngelou，thefirstAfricaAmericanfemalepilotDoctorMayJamison，thetennisathleteVenusWilliams，themoviestarAlfredWoodard，thedancerJudithJamison，thepainterFaith，andofcoursethenovelistToniMorrisonAllofthemaretalented，beautifulandthoughtful。Theyshowtheirownstrengthandpowertothewholeworld。Forexample，theTalkShowQueenOprahWinfreyisablack，andalsoawoman。Shegrowsupinapoorfamily，butnevergivesupherstudy。WhenshefirsttakesajobasthehostofaTVprogram，manypeopledetestsherbecausesheisablack。Sheusesheramiablecharmtowintheconfirmationandagreement。Atthattime，thetalkshowisdominatedbyman，butafterOprah’sappearance，thesituationischanged。Shesharesherpainfulexperiencesandfrustrationwithpeople。Peopleloveherprogram，andmakeanidolofher。Now，sheisoneofthemostinfluentialandrichestwomen，andbecomesasymbolofAmerica。Shesaysthatshebelievesshecanprovetothewholeworldwithherstrugglethatthereisawaytothetruth。

　　Conclusion
　　ThroughBeloved，ToniMorrisonshowstheprocessofgrowthofthreegenerationsoftheblackwomen。Theoldgenerationrealizedtheirmiseries，buttheydonotknowhowtochangethesituation，sotheyjustacceptthem；thesecondgenerationisunwillingtobeoppressed，sotheytrytofindawayout。Attheendofthefiction，thethirdgenerationfinallyfindstheirownidentity，andthenbeginstobuildupabetterfuture。
　　InAmericanhistory，therearemanywomenmovements，andtherearemoreandmorepeoplewhocomeouttobeagainstracialdiscrimination。Theblackwomenhavebeencryingforequaltreatmentandtheyhavedonealotforit。Theyaccountfor7percentofpopulationofwholeAmerica，buttheydon’thavetherealunderstandingandacceptancefromotherpeoples，especiallytheWhites，andthesociety。Nowadays，therearestillmorethan60percentoftheblackwomenwhoarenotsatisfiedwiththesituationoftheblacksinthesociety。Andnearly50percentoftheblackwomenarenotsatisfiedwiththeirownsituationinthesociety。
　　Infact，theyarestillinfluencedandcontrolledbythewhites，butfortunately，theblackwomennowhavemoreandmorechancestoshowtheirvaluesandstrength。Theyarenotjusttoolstogivebirthtobabiesorjustdothehousework，orthefarmwork。Theynowhavechancestostandonanupperstagetoprovethattheyareascapableasothers。Theblackwomenaremoreandmoreselfconfident，andtheybegantobelieveintheirownstrengthandbeauty。Thus，peoplecanalwaysseebeautifulblackwomenwalkingontheTstageorjoiningsomecompetitions。Theyevenjointhepoliticalstageanddoanexcellentwork。
