父子关系是美国当代著名黑人作家詹姆斯.鲍德温毕生探究的一大主题,他的许多作品中都体现了对心目中理想的黑人父亲的渴求。此外,其作品中浓郁的宗教情结同样不容忽视。鲍德温在不同时期创作的三部作品——《向苍天呼吁》、《阿门角》和《假如比尔街能够说话》——中塑造了三种不同类型的黑人父亲形象,而且这些父亲形象都可以从《圣经》以及鲍德温本人的生活中找到原型。从《圣经》原型的角度解读这些作品中的黑人父亲形象无疑对理解作者本人及其作品很有助益。
The relationship between father and son is one of the major topics explored by James Baldwin, a famous contemporary American black writer. Many of his works embody the thirst for the ideal black father. In addition, the rich religious complex in his works can not be ignored. Baldwin created three different types of black father’s images in three different productions - “Calling Heaven,” “Armenian Corner,” and “If Beale Street can Speak.” These images of fathers can be The Bible and Baldwin’s own life to find the prototype. Interpreting the images of black fathers in these works from the biblical archetypal perspective is undoubtedly of great help in understanding the author and his work.
