Abstract：Toni Morrison is the only black woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993. She takes on the double missions of respecting the history and being innovated in art. When writing the book, Beloved, she tries her best to restrain her ulcerous hatred to this period of the history as a black woman, making the narrative mediation to a minimum, so that the performances and lines of the characters, scenes and events itself can show the truest psychological reality, social reality and historical reality. Through the research for the features of the characters in Beloved, the essay reveals that when pursuing the freedom and seeking for the relief, the black, Africa-Americans, are not only oppressed by their white slave-owners, but also suffering from their self-torment, because they lives as slaves for such a long period that they almost accept that humble kind of life and identity in their heart, on the other hand, they tends to seek only for the freedom of the body, but ignore that the real freedom is the liberation of the mind. The author focuses on the distortions of the characters in Beloved and the symbolic significance of Beloved, demonstrates the system of slavery as well as the fate and the miserable life of the Negro, and objectively expresses the hatred to the slavery and the sympathy on the lives of slaves .

摘要：托尼·莫里森是美国唯一获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女作家，她肩负着历史和艺术的双重使命，在《娇女》一书中，她竟可能克制住作为一名黑人对这段历史的痛恨情感，将叙事中介降到最低限度，让人物、场景和事件自身的台词和表演来展示最真实的心理现实、社会现实和历史现实。本文通过研究《娇女》中的人物特征，来揭示在非裔美国人追寻自由、寻求解脱的同时，他们在内心不仅受到白人奴隶主的压迫，也遭受着自我煎熬，因为他们在经过长期奴隶生活之后，一方面从内心接受了这种生活方式和卑微的身份，另一方面，他们往往追寻的只是身体上的自由，却忽视了真正的自由是心灵的解放。本文作者对《娇女》中人物性格的扭曲以及“娇女”的象征意义进行了重点研究，展现了对黑奴制度下黑人的悲惨生活及命运，客观上表达了对奴隶制度的痛斥，同时也对黑奴的生活的同情

　　　By analysing the characters in Beloved, the psychological fear and the warped minds of the slaves living under the rule of the slavery are showed thoroughly to the readers. In the South carrying out the slavery, the black slaves have been classified as animals species. to seek for the liberation of the bodies, they chose to "escape", in order to seek for spiritual liberation, Baby Suggs chose to die in bed; Hall went into mad; Sethe tried to use the compensation to a ghost to ease the guilty of killing her daughter; after being successfully lured by Beloved Paul D attempted to persuade Sethe to have a baby with him to prove his identity of being a man. As a black woman, Toni·Morrison can remain a calm and objective attitude, when describing the tragic history of the black, which is commendable. It not only warns the future generations to look at the history with a right attitude, but also make an important contribution to the development of the black literature.
