초록

This essay aims to explore the intertextuality between Toni Morrison’ Home and Richard Wright’s Native Son in terms of thematic approach and narrative strategy. In Native Son published in 1940, Wright depicts a story of a black male protagonist, Bigger Thomas, resisting on social injustice and inequality in the world of absolute dominance of white power. Morrison also delineates the black’s resistance on social injustice in Home published in 2012. In addition to their common thematic approach, they employs similar multi-layered narrative strategies such as a stream of consciousness technique, interior monologue, omniscient-author narrative, and italicizing or capitalizing text to depict their protagonist’s psyches. With these narrative skills, they embody the aesthetics of resistance. Consequently, Toni Morrison’s Home and Richard Wright’s Native Son have intertextuality in terms of the themes sublimating black’s resistance against social injustice and inequality into self-actualization as well as the forms employing multi-layered narrative strategies in their novels. In this regard, I argue that their works can be read to readers as the text of the aesthetics of resistance.

Abstract

This essay aims to explore the intertextuality between Toni Morrison’ Home and Richard Wright’s Native Son in terms of thematic approach and narrative strategy. In Native Son published in 1940, Wright depicts a story of a black male protagonist, Bigger Thomas, resisting on social injustice and inequality in the world of absolute dominance of white power. Morrison also delineates the black’s resistance on social injustice in Home published in 2012. In addition to their common thematic approach, they employs similar multi-layered narrative strategies such as a stream of consciousness technique, interior monologue, omniscient-author narrative, and italicizing or capitalizing text to depict their protagonist’s psyches. With these narrative skills, they embody the aesthetics of resistance. Consequently, Toni Morrison’s Home and Richard Wright’s Native Son have intertextuality in terms of the themes sublimating black’s resistance against social injustice and inequality into self-actualization as well as the forms employing multi-layered narrative strategies in their novels. In this regard, I argue that their works can be read to readers as the text of the aesthetics of resistance.
