Essay on Natural Symbolism in "Blood-Burning Moon"

Jean Toomer's "Bloody Moon" has two real confrontations. The first one is racial. This can be cited in the first sentence. The second one is sexual conflict. It develops delicately with the development of the hero. In this article, we explain how Toomer makes clear comparisons and natural comparisons, builds up these conflicts and explains its origins. He wrote that these roles like the Earth are natural and hence can not be rebutted. As you read carefully the first paragraph, the contrast between white and black is clear, as explained by the metaphor of trees and stones.

It can be said that the whole story only starts and ends with the first sentence. "From the ocher-colored wall, the evening came from a pre-war cotton factory oak rolled floor slab and a rugged hand-stitched beam" (1504). Two opposite substances collide, the wall of the stone encounters the floor of the tree, and the day is over. Likewise, this can be interpreted as the fate and the end of Tomer's two male characters, Bob Stone and Tom Burwell. Words such as "skeleton" and "corruption" give a clear sense of death - and at a deeper level Toomer introduces the difference between the wood and stone textiles. Both are part of nature, but their essence can not be restored. This comparison will ultimately lead to greater conflict between Caucasians and Negroes.

Bob Stone is Caucasian; he is cold and strong and he is not moving. He thinks very black community is low level - he owns them, they have no life

And, while making them part of the wilderness and landscape, characters in life. He seems to believe that these conflicts happen naturally, as there are natural differences between blacks and whites and between men and women. Reading this story carefully can be explained by Toomer that succumb to prejudice that can not be resolved, as the opposing parties can not truly understand each other. Only human beings must live as a coexistence in a larger natural world and live solutions. In essence, Toomer suggests that appearance and ideology certainly are different, but in general, we are all part of a larger plan. He has not asked people to get to know each other, but someday we will at least respect each other and ask that they can agree on different things

Luisa enjoys the rare benefits of women, the two men fall in love with her - do not mind choosing between them. However, as a symbol of the "blood" of the moon, everything is not calm. One is black like Luisa and the other is white. Luiza did not consider paying the price. Luisa is involved in a series of events that I can not control. Luisa did not take into account the influence of her actions because it is poisoned by sugar cane's rich and sweet scent, aura of death and violence, and love, and the moon, her environment, and people's "bloody". How to make light Like many women at Toomer, she still lives with her. In factory town, here and now only. She is young and reckless, this is a gift from a young man. So, how can she understand the past when she collapses now? I do not want to choose between Tom and Bob In her glory, she forgets men's pride.

However, understanding the racial discrimination that makes up the "Moon of Bloody" can only capture the important aspects of Toomer's story. What intertwines with racism is the issue of class and gender, especially because it is related 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 Blood" can be read and reread, and more and more satisfying story. 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.
