Abstract This thesis is a psychoanalytic narratological study that seeks to reveal the psychological and social consequences of the trauma of rape on Afro-American females. Furthermore, it covers the feminist narrative and the writing style of the two Afro-American female writers, Alice Walker and Toni Morrison in their novels The Color Purple (1982) and The Bluest (1970). In the two selected novels, the female characters face trauma in their lives, they suffer before and after rape. This traumatic feeling changes their lives and causes psychoanalytic, social and physical suffering. Rape changes a woman’s life and turns her into miserable human beings. Consequently, Celie loses her children and Pecola loses her mind. However, their physical damages are less than their psychological damages. In addition to social problems, they suffer for being black females. In short, the two selected novels illustrate the feminist narrative perspectives that assert and emphasize black women’s suffering. The two writers succeeded to depict clearly the life of a black female. Both of them use two narrators to help them in their narration. They also seek to use diagolism in their novelswhich contain polyglossia in addition to polyphony. |
