Based on the Interpretation of Female Subject Construction in Purple Based on the Perspective of Conceptual Metaphor
As a cognitive mechanism of perceiving the world,conceptual metaphor is an important way of discourse organization and construction,which helps to reveal the theme of literary works.Based on the perspective of the concept,the novel of Purple focuses on the two central metaphors"life is a war"and"womanism is purple"to promote the overall continuity of the novel.Under the male authority,the black women lack the self-consciousness and sisterhood,and reconstruct their own subjectivity.Walker is committed to the discussion of the common fate of mankind,and the feminism advocated proposes a reasonable rescue path for the harmonious coexistence between the sexes,which is of reference significance for the current topic of women.
