摘　　要：While much research on The Joy Luck Club has been studied through grand lens,like feminism,or cultural factors,trauma,etc.,little research has been conducted to highlight self-consciousness and conflicts that are reflected in their seemingly endless dialogues between the four mothers and their daughters throughout the novel.Using dialogue from Bakhtin’s polyphony theory,the present study investigates precisely how it works to awaken self-consciousness in all of them;how their understanding and connection are restored,and eventually how exactly right decisions are made for their daughters in marriage.The findings show that,after numerous dialogues between mothers and daughters,their self-awareness has become clearer,their relations are mended,the right decisions are made,and eventually the order in every aspect is reconstructed.The study calls for greater attention to the embodiment of dialogues in The Joy Luck Club,and how they work effectively and profoundly at every level,and at last how they fulfill the reconstruction of orders in certain aspects.
