【摘要】：作为托妮·莫里森的第二部小说，《秀拉》在国内外都得到了极大的关注和讨论。不仅因为它的作者——托妮·莫里森同时身为女性和非裔的特殊身份，小说自身线条分明的结构特点也使人印象深刻。就像一副黑白分明的粗线条版画，《秀拉》并没有过于繁复的结构和情节。《秀拉》风格简明，恰如其间涉及的种族主题——黑白两个人种之间矛盾的描述——整部小说从主题，人物刻画，以及背景渲染方面都运用了二元对立的表达手法，隐晦地将种族的对立表现得淋漓尽致。二元对立是指通过对任一系统里的一项差异项，进行引申的价值分析。这一对立的差异项并非绝对的相互排斥，相反它们之间往往存在相互联系，相互补充，相互促进。本论文拟从二元对立的角度，对小说各个层面涉及到的相关因素作具体的分析和探究，以此达到对作者创作观点更深层次地理解。本文首先阐释二元对立这个核心术语，然后简要地梳理国内外对《秀拉》这部文学作品的评论分析，尤其着眼于从对立这个角度出发的观点。接着论文的主体部分会从主题，人物刻画以及背景描述全方位地分析二元对立在本部作品中的运用。二元对立对《秀拉》主题的塑造主要表现在：善与恶，追寻和失败，死亡与重生。在人物的刻画上，则主要集中在：个体之间的对立——秀拉与奈尔；个人与家庭之间的对立——秀拉与伊娃；以及个体与集体间的对立——秀拉与底层。此外，，整个背景的渲染也离不开二元对立的运用，主要是：场景设置，种族矛盾以及性别冲突。然而，贯穿小说的种种二元对立并非杂乱无章，它们不仅具有自身的特点和作用，而且皆为作者精心设计，统筹安排的结果，以达到服务小说整体构思的目的。通过一系列的对立冲突，展现了黑人两难的自我追寻之路：即不论是全盘激进地接受美国文化，还是困于一隅，自我封闭都不是一条可行之路。
[Abstract]:As Toni Morrison's second novel, "Sula" has received a lot of attention and discussion both at home and abroad, not only because its author, Toni Morrison, is both female and African-American. It is also impressive that the novel has its own distinctive structural features. Like a black and white rough print, Xiula has no overly complicated structure and plot. Just like the racial theme involved-- a description of the contradiction between black and white-- the whole novel uses binary opposites in terms of theme, character portrayal, and background rendering. A veiled display of racial antagonism. Duality is an extended value analysis of a different term in any system. The opposite term is not absolutely mutually exclusive. On the contrary, there are often interconnections and complementarities between them. From the perspective of duality, this paper makes a specific analysis and exploration of the relevant factors involved in each level of the novel, in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the author's creative views. This paper first explains the core term of duality opposites, and then briefly combs the domestic and foreign comments and analyses on the literary work "Saula", especially from the perspective of opposites. Then the main part of the thesis will focus on the theme. Character portrayal and background description analyze the application of duality opposites in the works of this part. The binary opposites portray the theme of "Saurah" mainly as follows: good and evil, pursuit and failure, death and rebirth, while in the characterization of characters, it is mainly concentrated in: the opposition between individuals-Saula and Nell; The antagonism between the individual and the family-Sheila and Eva; and between the individual and the collective-between the Sheila and the bottom. In addition, the rendering of the whole background cannot be separated from the use of binary opposition, mainly: setting the scene, Racial contradictions and gender conflicts. However, the duality throughout the novel is not random, it is not only its own characteristics and functions, but also the author's carefully designed, coordinated results, In order to achieve the purpose of the overall conception of the service novel. Through a series of opposing conflicts, the black man shows his dilemma of self-pursuit: whether it is an overall radical acceptance of American culture or being trapped in a corner. Self-closure is not a viable path.
