摘要：

This essay studies Toni Morrison's concepts of life, death and life-after-death in two of her novels: Sula and Song of Solomon. It examines how these concepts are interlinked, and they give meaning to one other. The essay argues that Morrison develops the concepts of death and life-after-death in African/ethnic context/culture. However, her representation of them is inextricably linked to the language and culture that she is trained in, i.e., English. Thus, her usage of tropes is contextual, yet they can be deciphered by the readers at large. This paper uses various examples from the two novels to show Morrison's stance/representation of the concepts.
