Abstract

Toni Morrison is the 20th century's most distinguished African-American black women writers, because of their outstanding creative talent won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993, is the first to honor African-American women. She has been able to become the darling of the literary laureate, in addition to her deep thought and poetic language, because she has a strong national consciousness. Morrison clearly aware of the dignity and identity of the black race is built on top of a relatively complete black culture in the creative process of the novel, she is committed to the reconstruction of a contemporary black from the historical and financial in modern American Life in Black Culture. Described by Morrison's story have taken place in the African-American family and social life circle and intertwined with the history and mythology of the daily lives of ordinary black people from Africa, the cultural roots of eternal focus. This paper attempts to use Freud's psychoanalytic theory interpretation of her first novel, \The paper is divided into three aspects: the unconscious trauma of family dysfunction, swallowed up by the white mainstream values ??abnormal development of self and the writers own desire perfusion to the works of writers daydream. This paper analyzes how to parse the black family and society in Morrison, the first two parts of the problem, the last part of the proposed solution to the problem. The work involved a lot of the inner world of the characters, so this angle, a more thorough analysis of the main thrust of the work that the author's intention of writing from psychoanalysis. The writer's greatness lies in daring to expose the problems of the black family and social existence to awaken the national consciousness and prescribe the right medicine to provide a solution to the problem - rooted cultural traditions to survive. This paper is divided into five parts, the first part and the last part of the introduction and conclusion, the second part is the main part of the paper contains three chapters. Chapter borrow Freud subconscious trauma theory to explain the Pauline family dysfunction as a potential mother callous personality. Separately from her adolescent and adult stage of the lack of family love and family lack of black cultural heritage. Then we use the same family dysfunction in Freud subconscious trauma theory to explain Jolly as potential causes of the perverted character of the father. Were from his infancy, adolescence, and adulthood. What they all have in common is that the lack of family love. Lack of love of this family, and repeatedly to strengthen the feeling of being abandoned due to the growth of the various stages of their personality metamorphosis. This not only ruin their own ruin their daughter Pecora. This example is to expose a widespread problem in the black family. The second chapter borrow Freud's theory of the triple personality, ego, superego my relationship to social problems in the analysis of the novel. In this novel, self-sacrifice is superego white mainstream values ??swallowed the last abnormal development. This phenomenon is taken through the self-effacing and others who deny malformations the escape mechanisms Pecora and other black members of the body of the black racial hatred projected onto the deformed projection mechanism demonstrated. This phenomenon reflects the problems in the black community. Chapter daydreaming writer borrowed Freudian theory, that the works of writers to achieve this ideal point clearly explain how the writer himself in the novel ways proposed to realize their dreams. The authors put forward their own views in front of family and social problems, she thinks the solution is to take root in the tradition of excellence of the black culture. Only take root in the excellent tradition of the black culture in order to survive. This is not only the author's writing also aims to take this to arouse national consciousness. Rooted tradition of black culture to survive is by a the blacks own cultural pride and tradition of excellence little girl survived an example to illustrate. The writers create works based on the past - now - next time clues Freud theoretical perspectives of works of black writers in other non-difficult process, to reflect real life black people and black people own the sound authentic expression. Freud's theory that the writer must use some artistic skills to defuse the resentment of the readers and to making their own point of view and feelings resonate with readers, it is also able to use with Morrison a large number of black culture corresponding symbol of fully. In this way, Morrison widely arouse national consciousness. By a growing number of readers and the attention of researchers in the current context of globalization, Toni Morrison, or because the perfect artistic value of their works, or they are concerned about the blacks are facing problems, the most important thing because of its universal themes. The source of the problems in the black family and community are also common around the world, her proposed solution to the problem, that is rooted national culture to survive and also for other peoples directions. Thus this study will have important significance in the literary, social and realistic level.
