This dissertation is an attempt at making a relatively thorough analysis of narrative time and focalization of Beloved in the light of narrative theory and exploring the hidden double themes: the black are struggling for the beautiful tomorrow, while they are still being tortured by the abolished slavery.

The thematic meaning of a discourse in stylistic analysis is closely related to such key points in functional stylistics as the purpose and process of analysis,foregrounding and the context of situation.

This paper holds that, as an individual pragmatic unit with communication values, a text s meaning must consist of at least three major component parts-thematic meaning, topic meaning, and stylistic meaning.

Two sentences with the same conceptual meaning may lead to different effect or different thematic meanings if the words are put in different orders.

The paper tries to interpret the art and structure of the book from the three aspects of narration,dual structure and the double theme.

This paper mainly discusses the three views on it,namely,the view of allegory,the view of love and the view of double themes of love and allegory,and there by puts forward a new way to grasp the theme of a literary work comprehensively.
