爱丽丝沃克《紫色》中女性意识的觉醒
《紫色》是由20世纪70年代以来，现代文学中最受欢迎、最杰出的美国女作家之一---爱丽丝•沃克创作的。《紫色》讲述的是一个缺乏自信、屡遭磨难的黑人女性西莉，在弥漫着种族主义、性别歧视的世界里，忍受着各种苦难和压迫。
在揭露了种族歧视和男性至上主义等问题的同时，小说在描写许多妇女的性格时，着重反映了沃克的妇女主义。《紫色》跳脱了以往黑人小说中揭露种族歧视带来的痛苦与仇恨，把视点放在了黑人男女间的家庭关系和男权大压迫以及在男权社会中女性争取作为人基本的权利与尊严。勇敢、独立的女性们渐渐觉醒，用时间、用血泪、用毅力、用爱情、用一生和命运斗争，来反抗这不平等的世界来争取自身的自由。《紫色》中娜蒂、索菲亚、桑亚茉莉三位妇女，大胆的跳出了传统对她们苛刻禁锢的牢笼。对于这三个人物的描写，更加充分的体现了沃克的思想。从西莉的逃跑行为来看她的反抗意识的觉醒，从索菲亚的暴力行为来看她作为黑人女性的自我反抗意识，从桑亚茉莉选择结婚的行为来看她对女性意识的觉醒。她们的精神由麻木到觉醒、由反抗到独立、由自主到获得与男子平等的地位的人生奋斗经历体现了黑人女性对双重压迫的反抗和对完整自我及完美生活的渴望与追求。《紫色》是女性文学作品,很显然在这部作品中，男性对于女性的独立与自主是持否定态度的, 而且可以说是深恶痛绝又心惊胆战。《紫色》的价值不仅在于它本身的艺术成就，还在于它表达了对生命的热爱，宣传了种族平等和男女平等的思想。通过对小说人物西莉的了解，我们最终能够更好的理解小说的主题和艺术价值。
