霍根是美国印第安女作家，多年来积极从事印第安事务研究。她以美国历史上曾经发生过的事件为背景，创作了《北极光》和《卑劣的灵魂》，讲述了在白人统治之下的印第安人的真实处境。白人的卑劣、自私在小说中一览无余，印第安人的居无宁日、生活困顿，令人心生同情。本文从文学伦理学角度解读这两部小说，分析霍根在小说中展现的印第安人和白人的伦理选择，解读霍根站在印第安立场上对白人伦理的谴责与不满，以及霍根对印第安文化的执着和热爱。

As a Native American writer, Hogan is actively engaged in the Indian affairs for many years. Based on the events that have ever happened in American history, she created Solar Storms and Mean Spirit that revealed the true living situation of the Indians under the control of the white people. Sympathy would be aroused by the Indian people's poverty and bedraggled condition. This research will decode Hogan's Mean Spirit and Solar Storms from the perspective of ethical literary criticism which“is used not only to interpret the moral phenomena recorded in literature on a historical and dialectic basis, but also to make value judgment of those in the present literature based on the moral values in the reality.”( Nie Zhenzhao, “Ethical Literary Criticism: Its Fundaments and Terms” 9 ) It will decipher the ethical choices of the Indians and the white men, to analyze Hogan's discontentment and condemnation of the whites, and to interpret Hogan's dedication and love of Indian culture as well.
