研究旨在运用创伤理论，来探讨美国作家莫里森的小说《宠儿》。通过分析小说主要人物体现出来的创伤表征，以及创伤愈合的方法与过程，来展现莫里森写作的真实意图。作为非裔美国作家，莫里森的作品具有鲜明的政治意图以及文化立场。她不仅是要反映奴隶制即将结束以及奴隶制结束后，美国南方重建时期黑人奴隶的生活，更是要鼓励黑人族裔勇敢地面对过去，用爱与团结复原创伤，建构自己独特的政治、文化身份，开创一个崭新的未来。

This paper is aimed to analyze Toni Morrison忆s novel Beloved from the perspective of Trauma theory. By exploring the traumatic symptoms of main characters and the ways of recovering themselves from traumas, the author wants to expose the real aim of this novel. As an African-American writer, Morrison’s works show distinct political intention and cultural position. Morrison not only wants to disclose the hard -living environment of the blacks in the period of the ending of the slavery and the period of American southern reconstruction, but also hopes the blacks face the past bravely, recover from the trauma by love and union, construct their unique political and cultural identities, and create a brand-new future.
