摘　　要：Sula is Toni Morrison’s second novel.The fundamental difference between this novel and her other novels lies in which the heroine of this novel,Sula,is a typical rebellious woman.Morrison often borrows traditional mythology modes to tell the stories in her works,and Sula is no exception.To have a better understanding of this novel,this paper explores the heroine Sula’s image by means of myth-archetypal criticism.Through elaborate interpretation and analysis,a conclusion can be drawn that Sula’s rebel image is presented on the basis of the rebel archetype of Satan in Paradise Lost,which can show the charm of Toni Morrison’s narrative style,and also reveals the hardships and courage of black women in the process of self-actualization.
