《秀拉》是莫里森以小说为媒介进行的一场人生实验，旨在检验她心中的叛逆女性能否自由地生存和成长。秀拉僭越了男性的自由，走出了传统的女性空间，开始了自我追寻、自我发现的探索旅程。虽然她的追求是失败的，但她的离家远行、自我追寻、性的体验，甚至她极端个人主义式的彻底反叛，突破了传统女性成长小说的情节模式，标志着女性成长小说发展的新阶段。%Sula is a life experiment of Morrison to test whether a rebellious woman like Sula can live and develop freely. Sula usurps the freedom traditionally reserved for men. She runs away from home, at-tempts to find her self-identity in the vast world, and embarks on a journey of self-discovery and self-assertion. However, her dream is nowhere to be found, her efforts dashed and on wasteland of the vast world, she is everywhere a stranger. But Sula’s Odyssey outside home, her attempts for self-discovery, her freedom in sex, and even her solipsistic assertion represent the new stage in the development of the female bildungsroman.
