Coetzee,as an outstanding writer in the post-colonial period,concerns his concern in South Africa mainly in his exploration of the writing and meaning of violence from the perspective of post-colonialism.Violent writing has been permeated throughout his works.He clarified the deceitfulness of history and the nature of power and violence filled with history by dissecting the colonists’ use of South African myths to consecrate and beautify their colonial activities.In this paper,Coetzee’s understanding of the violent violence in South Africa is explained in detail from the perspectives of Coetzee’s historical discourse violence writing,ethnic violence writing and gender violence writing.The writing of historical discourse violence is mainly reflected in the distorted and fictionalized construction of historical discourse under the control of power and discourse.It cannot truly reflect the historical reality.Blacks are forced to live in the elaborately woven world of colonists and are often deceived and deceived..The writing of racial violence mainly condemns violence by writing racial policies,and the dual physical and psychological blows that violence brings to blacks and whites.The writing of gender violence writes about the suppression and repression of the male physical discourse hegemny that has been formed in history.At the same time,women also show resistance to male violence in discourse and consciousness.In the end,Coetzee used the methods of deconstructing colonial myths,silencer narratives,and marginal narratives to confront power and center and actively sought ways to escape violence.The reexamination of the body,the care for the weak,the reflection of historical shame,and the atonement all reflect Coetzee’s humanitarian spirit and expectations for the destiny of the new South Africa.
