Sula, a Dark Lady
View through CrossRef
Abstract: Through Sula (the main character of Toni Morrison’s eponymous novel), Morrison reinterprets the concept of the Dark Lady of the traditional Gothic romance. She is a demonic female, who defi es the Law of the Father in her search for identity. As the embodiment of subversion, she becomes the “village witch”, the symbolic expression of the African community’s confrontation with evil. In fact, through Sula, Morrison refl ects intensively on evil. The demonic female comes to be a scapegoat, the target of the black community’s social frustrations. Sula is a modern Dark Lady with a radical power of self-creation and self-affi rmation. Resumen: A través de Sula (el personaje principal de la novela homónima de Toni Morrison), la autora reinterpreta el concepto de la Mujer Oscura del romance gótico tradicional. Ella es una mujer demoníaca, que desafía la Ley del Padre en su búsqueda de identidad; convirtiéndose en la “bruja del pueblo”, símbolo de la confrontación de la comunidad africana con el mal. A través de Sula, Morrison refl exiona extensamente sobre el mal. La mujer demoníaca se convierte en el objetivo de las frustraciones sociales de la comunidad negra. Sula es una Mujer Oscura moderna con un poder radical de auto-creación y auto-defi nición
