托尼·莫里森《宠儿》中的重要意象——树,长期以来未得到研究者们应有的重视。莫里森借助这一意象关注了非洲文化在美国这一异文化环境中的命运,使得黑人文化在奴隶制下的创伤、黑人文化的强大生命力、黑人文化对黑人子民的召唤和黑人对非洲文化的向往与回归都在“树”这一意象上得到了集中体现。 The important image of Tony Morrison’s Beloved, the tree, has long received little attention from researchers. Taking advantage of this image, Morrison paid close attention to the fate of African culture in the different cultural environment of the United States, making the black culture traumatized by slavery, the strong vitality of black culture, the call of black people to black people and the blacks’ The longing for and returning to culture are all embodied in the image of “tree”.
