Blood-Burning Moon b Jean Toomer

"A red nigga, a sinner, a bloody moon, a sinner, go out the door of the fact" (Toomer 652). The hot scarlet of this moon in the night sky undoubtedly laid the tone of Jean Toomer's story "Bloody Moon". It not only foresees the violence that makes his story decline but also symbolizes the attractive force of pulling the lives of our three protagonists and pushing the strings of national inequality that binds the country. Due to the moral vacuum of World War I, authors like Toomer were forced to concentrate on individuals seeking meaning in a meaningless society, but as ethnic tensions continue, this work is more It got complicated.

Jean Toomer's "Bloody Moon" has two real confrontations. The first one is racial. This can be quoted in the first sentence. The second one is sexual conflict. It develops delicately with the development of the hero. In this article, we show how Toomer identifies these conflicts and explains their origins using vivid explanations and natural comparisons. He stated that, like the Earth, these natures are natural, and therefore it can not be argued that there is room for debate. As you read carefully the first paragraph, the contrast between white and black is clear, as explained by the metaphor of trees and stones.

The short story "Blood-Burning Moon" is part of Jean Toomer's book "Cane" first published in 1923. This book is divided into three parts. The first two parts contain short stories and poetry, the third part contains loose content. Structured dramas are sometimes regarded as short stories. All the stories of the first part usually occur in southern villages, focusing on African-American women. In most cases, they occur at dusk or outdoors, usually in sugar cane fields. "Bloody Moon" is the last story of this section, but interestingly, it is the only story without a woman's name.

But understanding the racial discrimination that makes up the "Moon of the Bloody" can only capture the important aspect of the Tomah story. What intertwines with racism is the issue of class and gender, especially because it relates to the struggle of African-Americans to survive after slavery. For example, the relationship between the full moon and women, and other aspects of African American culture is another topic that is worth considering. "Moon of Bloody" is a story that you can read and read, and more and more satisfied. Every time I read it, the unprecedented aspect of the story and its style reflects more aspects of African-American identity and history that Toomer wants to convey.
