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 constructs these conflicts and explains their origins using crisp explanations and natural comparisons. 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.

Direct, sincere, and bold. ... She is worth it. Beautiful dachi girl. Why are blacks? Why are not only gallons? No, this is because she is a nigga, he went to find her. (1507)

When Toomer writes about Stone, the whole tone changes. He wrote that it is a "white" analytic and proprietary internal monologue that is form and calculation. While focusing on the relationship with Louisa, all focus was removed from the environment and focused on Bob's thought. "He will meet Louisa tonight and I love her, she is very cute - in her way. The way of nigga. If he knows that, what is the way he is? I am not. "(1507). Bob was confused by his feelings about Louisa, and his ideas fluctuated in Tomar's writing.

Bob likes Louisa, but she does not understand her. Toomer built a story, how can he be charged? Bob has stones, and blacks are represented as trees, close to the earth. In other words, familiar moon and black moon, trees and wilderness are interpreted as "melancholy" in Bob's heart. This implies a difference that can not be balanced between blacks and whites, where each person thinks about their environment in entirely different ways and contacts them. When Bob rushed through the woods, his idea was Louisa, a woman he wanted to control, but he could not relate to it. He does not mind setting his position in nature, and he does not believe that he believes he has power.

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 think about 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.
