Abstract

Toni

Morrison

(1931

—

)

is

one

of

the

major

black

women

writers

of

the

twentieth

century

.

As

the

first

black

novelist

to

be

awarded

the

Nobel

Prize

for

literature,

Toni

Morrison

has

caught

more

and

more

attention

and

recognition

all

around

the

world.

After

publication

of

her

first

novel

The

Bluest

Eye

in

1970,

it

attracts

a

large

number

of

readers.

In

the

following

year,

she

published

her

second

novel,

Sula

,

in

1973,

and

it

is

more

successful,

which

earns

a

nomination

for

the

National

Book

Award.

With

the

improvement

of

black

women

’

s

status,

the

literary

critics are apt to focus on the issue of the status of black female. Therefore, this thesis

attempts

to

contrast

and

analyze

the

heroines

—

Pecola

and

Sula

in

the

two

novels

from

the

similar

and

different

perspectives

to

reveal

black

female

’

s

consciousness

awakening.

By analyzing

from

four aspects

—

family background, personality,

friends

surrounding and

social

impact,

it comes to

the conclusion

that

the black

women

who

pursue

personal

liberation

and

self-realization

should

not

abandon

the

excellent

tradition

of

Black

Nationalism.

Besides,

it

will

do

great

help

to

evoke

the

reader

’

s

awareness of black

female

’

s consciousness awakening. In the

meanwhile,

it will offer

a new angle of studying these two novels.
