《所罗门之歌》中的派拉特一直被评论界认为是托妮.莫里森塑造的最成功的女性形象之一,是完美的黑人女性形象的代表,她自信、乐观、坚强。然而,派拉特在生活中找不到亲情、友情和爱情;经常处于经济窘迫的状况;对黑人文化传统的追寻只是出于她自己也不能明确解释的直觉;固守传统的生活方式以及简单粗暴的教育方式阻碍了后代的成长。 Pratt in The Songs of Solomon has long been regarded by the critics as one of the most successful female images that Toni Morrison has made and is the perfect representative of black women. She is confident, optimistic and strong. However, Pratt finds no affection, friendship and love in his life; he is often in a financially distressed situation; his pursuit of black cultural traditions is only based on her own intuition that she can not be interpreted clearly; she adheres to the traditional way of life as well as simple and crude The way of education hinders the growth of future generations.
