摘要: 众所周知，《宠儿》作为托尼·莫里森的巅峰之作被赋予了多重内涵。本文以黑人女主人公塞丝在自我意识觉醒，再缺失和再回归为主线，论证了黑人在白人的社会里自我意识逐渐清晰的过程，以及黑人自我意识的回归实际上是黑人们获得身心自由的关键所在。其中，不可忽视的重要一点就是黑人必须意识到团结的重要性。这种合作精神对黑人奴隶获得自由起着至关重要的作用。

　　In the process of fighting for freedom, there are several generation fighters for it. From the analysis of these generations, it is safe to say cooperation is the only choice for the black to pursue freedom. Morrison always tries to express to people that though the black women have a tragic life they never give up their faith in self-growth, and though their growing process is full of difficulties, they still bravely face the present and the future. They aim to be recognized as one part of this society. The purpose of this novel is not to advocate all black people hating the white but all black people having a right attitude towards history and the more important thing for them is that everyone should pay more attention to the future life.
