托尼・莫里森《天堂》主题的多元内涵解读

摘要

Different from the other works by Toni Morrison in the orientation of the theme , Paradise con-tains deeper meaning and multi-connotations in the theme construction .At the same time to confirm the rationality of the pursuing and yearning for the "paradise"by the black people,Toni Morrison also reveals the nightmare hidden in the hearts of the black and the tragedy of bringing disaster to the "other".The reflection and doubt on the "paradise"in the eyes of the Rubies embody the more profound thought and concern to the spiritual life and destiny of the black in the future .%　　莫里森的《天堂》在主题定位上与她此前的作品并非是同构性设计，相比之下，后者的主题建构显然存在多元性的内涵和更有深度的意蕴。莫里森在肯定黑人对“天堂”的向往和追求的合理性的同时，也揭示了潜伏在黑人心底的梦魇以及由此而造成的他者灾难的悲剧。作品对鲁比人心目中的“天堂”进行了反思和质疑，也体现了她对黑人的精神世界以及未来的生活命运怀有更深切的思考和关切。
