20、ack appearance by the shock of the white readers. Prior to this, the American literary works occasionally , mostly black image Wenliang Gong Qian, submissive little , small role , but not the grid is filled with a new black image of hatred and violence. White people always think black slavish , whic

21、h could be abused , but then now black with admiration , began to have fear of the heart . Public opinion has been vilified blacks whites barbaric nature , frequently murder, rape. Previous general black writers or deny , or differentiate , only Wright -depth analysis can explore the intrinsic link

22、between criminal activity and the social system , pointing out that neither blacks brutal violent nature nor national identity , but the U.S. social system caused . Bigger s character but the product of American civilization , his crime has some chance, but more importantly, there is a profound soci

23、al and historical inevitability. Bigger crimes reveals such a cruel fact that only in the case of African Americans and violence will cause extreme white society s attention , in this sense, not a crime and sentenced to capital punishment cell is actually the entire white society sounded the alarm.

24、The irony is that blacks do not represent the grid by mainstream American society is precisely the exclusion and oppression of American society , " Native Son ." Here, " Native Son ," the term it will have a pun meaning: a born and bred Americans ; Second, and racism in American society created by p

Negro revolt, juvenile crime , which is " Native Son " that is a fundamental characteristic of the typical image of the protagonist of this art , it reflects a new generati

26、on of blacks to racial discrimination and class oppression discontent , resistance and struggle . It is a new generation of blacks or that blacks are deep reveal latent national character . As Wright in " Native Son " in written , the character of the other cell multiplication twelve million (then K

Bigger Thomas accidentally kills a white employer s daughter , and ultimately the incident were arrested , sentenced to electrocution story. Fiction Bigger extreme hatred has a strong shocking , forcing people to produce this racia

29、l hatred profound psychological thinking . The book is divided into three sections: "Fear ", " escape " and " destiny ." Bigger live in the ghetto , people squeezed into a four dilapidated shacks . Two beds accounted for more than half went to the room: a bed together brothers , mother and daughter

30、together another bed to sleep , to get up every time the mother and daughter dress , you must first call the two boys looked away . Then the author vividly depicts scenes Bigger kill rats , reflects both blacks living in poverty , but also express a living environment to develop from this cruel hero

31、 character . Bigger eyes of the protagonist is white "bad nigger" , but also with his white hate and fear psychology. Discrimination against blacks in white society is pushed to the edge of his life, the life of despair and fear breeds hatred of his : He hates whites chatter hate social injustice a

32、nd class oppression. Later, due to the introduction of charitable organizations , he went to wealthy whites and Mr. Leighton Road home to make drivers. That night he drove Mr. Dayton Road and daughter, Miss Mary home. Mary drunk unconscious , had to hold her back Bigger room . At this time, the road

33、 and the blind daughter of the room to hear Mrs. Dayton has happened , they came to inquire . Bigger help terrified . Because, according to local laws, black men white women s room night raid will be sentenced to torture. In desperation , he used a pillow over his mouth , Miss Mary , let her say any

34、thing, and the result puts Mary suffocate. To escape the guilt , he stuffed the bodies of Mary boiler , burned his body to cover his tracks , and then wrote an anonymous letter , attempted exculpatory , and the murder of Mary s boyfriend plummeted head. After the truth brought to light, not the grid

35、 with his girlfriend蓓西fled , fearing蓓西way to turn informant to kill. Bigger still was eventually dispatched police arrested Allure . Court debate , as a communist lawyer Max Bigger pointed out the underlying causes of crime are social rather than personal, but that did not change Bigger is sentenced

36、 to death fate. This revolt , crime artistic characters not only through crime , escape, were arrested and executed plot shape , but from beginning to end along with the psychological description and analysis nuanced . Ⅲ. Personality Characteristics and The Reasons of the Hero in Native Son 3.1 S

37、ilence Bigger one four live in a small rented room, where dark , rodent disaster. Mother was a devout Christian , sister timid, quiet, submissive brother . All this , do not grid full of resentment , shame , pain and anger. His family and the white man in the world to make him feel that he is an ou

38、tsider . He became a no conscience , no hope , no love and religious people . All this led to his silent character. From the description of the article , we can see , not far from the grid , and his mother, in terms of ideas. Mother thinks Almighty God to give them endless care, hungry, give them f

39、ood ; dangerous , giving them security protection. However , do not believe in the Lords presence grid , otherwise the Lord will not let their lives be so painful. He will not even talk to his mother and he hated himself, limit his family , but also limit the white world . He does not think people

40、 are a moment to whites thankful and fortunate thing. He knew he had no choice , either to whites as a servant , or starve , the painful choice to let him go crazy . His mother did not understand him , he can not agree with his mother , so he and his mother could not communicate with the mothers que

41、stioning him have nothing to say . On the one hand , he did not think black people should be low first-class whites , on the other hand , the moment he had to give white people living in this conflict environment, he felt helpless and confused. In his opinion, the white indifference , hostility, be

42、cause they are black and blacks kill them, they shake hands at the same time and you will cut your throat (Elliott, 1991). So , he could not accept the friendly Miss Mary Jane and her boyfriend , for example : let him sit with them in the front seat of the car , along with the restaurant, so he call

43、ed them instead of Jane and Mr. Jane and Miss Mary Mary , for these cells do not feel fear and confusion . While Mary and Jane harbor silent , cold and indescribable hatred. He saw the white day peacefulness, a lot a lot money, and even their own do not have a decent place to stay . Since the inner

44、 imbalance , because it can not change the unfair society, due to fear and resentment , and whites together, he was always silent, closed themselves, and keep a distance from the heart on white . 3.2 Cynical In addition to silent, Bigger also cynical. He occasionally himself, met his kind friend ,

45、 he would complain about his headlong speak out in order to dump their pain , humiliation and resentment . In his view, what there is white , want to do what you can , and he, no money, no power, no choice. Even hid the cinema to see a movie , but also can not afford the fare . There are thousands

46、of whites not only work to choose from, they have everything in life you want. Can blacks in education and the social aspects of public transport , theaters , hotels and other services have suffered inhuman treatment . Because it is black , self- development programs Bigger is always blocked, he sai

47、d , if you have the opportunity to learn in an empty school , he will be able to open the aircraft can be until death , he did not this opportunity. In addition to the world of difference between wealth and freedom made ??him cynical , but do not know the grid to measure the individual behavior of s

48、ocial existence of double standards , when he saw a tall poster that says "IF YOUBREAD THE LAW, YOU CAN T WIN! " Bigger smoking a cigarette , quietly laughed, because he knows there are two laws , one is for the whites , and the other is black , justice and equality is an illusion . Rob blacks easy

49、because the police do not care about blacks , whites and robbery is totally unacceptable , because the law is used to protect whites. 3.3 Cruel Bigger cruel character can be seen from the following aspects : Fiction outset vividly depicts Bigger killed a large rat threat to their survival , which

50、reflects both blacks sad infiltration life, and bring out the this living environment to develop the heros cruel character. Treat those timid, but life from the black companions , he taught them how to fight back, how cruelly against those whites. To show their existence, he does not hesitate to us

51、e violence , and even treat their accomplices Gus , he had called him a coward , and asked him to serve wisely, to show their own people, or the boss (Bigger), and thus conceal their shame and inability to feel. Treat your family , Bigger also cruel enough, he either dumb , or eyes glaring , or roar

52、ing toward them . Treat his girlfriend , he is cruel to the extreme , in order to survive , he used a brick stoned girlfriend Beixi familiar with the situation . Mary , do not kill cells from the unconscious to have Awareness pins corpse, from the height of the panic to " calm " the handling of dea

53、d bodies , his cruelty makes hair straight . Who is responsible ? Bigger hearts no love , only limit , he limit everything in this world , that world never gave him any love , he would not return. 3.4 Rebels All along, the whites in the " effort" to convince blacks, whites better than them , the

54、y can never living arrangements in accordance with their wishes . Of these, Bigger disgusted . And many blacks , like other cells are victims of racial discrimination , but many timid, black allegiance is not the same , do not seem to be born with a rebellious spirit grid . He longed to someone else

55、s identity, the desire to achieve self-worth. His presence both for whites or blacks are a threat , he does not belong to any party , any one person, or even himself. Do not make such a character that the grid can not tolerate harsh world . His heart is full of anger , and that he wants to use viole

56、nce to fight the world . The result is a white man because of fear to destroy him, this is his tragedy lies. It also reflects the black youth began to mature side , they require equality, dignity and economic security . At the time, for a black man is concerned, two oclock at night to stay in a Mis

In order to deal with the body , so he cut the head of Mary burned into the oven . This is the practice of many years whites against

58、blacks (Jackson: 1976). Bigger think he burned both in white , are burned walking their anger and shame . He killed Mary proud feeling of freedom and relief the first time he has successfully completed a move later. He is no longer a slave, but his own master, is his own God. "I am right." Is his la
