Hurston’s Nonplus: An Analysis of the Heroine in >Their Eyes Were Watching God”< [赫斯顿的困顿—也评《他们眼望上苍》中的女性形象] [application of Fromm's theories to art]

  • 《他们眼望上苍》是美国著名黑人女作家佐拉•尼尔•赫斯顿的经典小说。国内外众多的研究大多指向其>黑人妇女争取自由和寻找自我<的主题,但若以哲学意义上的>自由<概念为理论参照,不难发现主人公珍妮始终游离在自由与责任、自由与道德、自由的寻索和逃避之间。缺乏爱的能力和对创造性劳动兴趣的珍妮,最终不得不逃避自由,回到生命的原点。而赫斯顿在人物塑造上的某些暧昧叙事和盲点,无不凸显出其在探索女性生存价值目标时的困顿和迷惘,更有潜藏其后的客观历史逻辑。
  • >Their Eyes Were Watching God< is one of the classics in Afro American literary history by Hurston , one of the famous Afro American female writers. The theme of >striving for freedom and identity< is widely explored both in China and abroad. The concept of Liberty by Erich Fromm provides us an proper angle to see the blind spots and shortcomings of the characterization in the text. Jenny is floating between freedom and responsibility, freedom and morality, freedom searching and escape, which reflects Hurston’s nonplus in her exploration of the goal of the value of female existence.
