As the first black novelist to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, Toni Morrison has caught more and more attention and recognition all around the world. After publication of her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970, it attracts a large number of readers. In the following year, she published her second novel, Sula, in 1973, and it is more successful, which earns a nomination for the National Book Award. With the improvement of black women’s status, the literary critics are apt to focus on the issue of the status of black female. Therefore, this thesis attempts to contrast and analyze the heroines—Pecola and Sula in the two novels from the similar and different perspectives to reveal black female’s consciousness awakening. By analyzing from four aspects—family background, personality, friends surrounding and social impact, it comes to the conclusion that the black women who pursue personal liberation and self-realization should not abandon the excellent tradition of Black Nationalism. Besides, it will do great help to evoke the reader’s awareness of black female’s consciousness awakening. In the meanwhile, it will offer a new angle of studying these two novels.
