초록
Laughter, conventionally, has been dealt with in the area of esthetics and regarded as pleasant, comic, light and low-leveled. But in Morrison's novel Tar Baby, laughter is dealt with through the characters' real life. In real life, conversational interrelationship is the most essential element of the human condition. Laughter functioning to replace or supplement language, can be used effectively through conversation. Laughter within the context of Tar Baby helps to explain the relationship of the ‘master and slave’ dialect, the relationship for power and ethnic relationships. Morrison also uses symbolic laughter to show characters' different responses and to describe their different personalities. Morrison breaks the generalization about laughter within the context of Tar Baby. She never uses laughter as a comic element, but as having various meanings and functions for respective situations. So laughter usually functions as a kind of social gesture within the various interrelationships. She also destroys the anticipated African American ethnic laughter by creating Jadine's artificial laughter to make success, Son's attractive and confident laughter, and ‘authentic African woman. Through this, she tries to show that any definition and anticipation can be contradictory, and to encourage readers to think over various possibilities.
