李喬在《咒之環》提出：台灣人何以無法當家自主？因為各世代的台灣人做了許多不該做的事，違反神的令諭，被台灣／土地之神詛咒，形成了詛咒的循環，台灣人，「一個被詛咒的族群」。因此，本文討論兩個問題：第一，反省歷史事件，從文化論述著手，討論台灣人「分類械鬥」、「幸福寄託異邦」的民族性。台灣人面對統治者時，表現出懦弱、不夠積極、缺乏理想性的民族性，無法作自己的主人。因此，詛咒僅是醜陋民族性的隱喻；第二，要台灣人解除魔咒的方法，必須將台灣認同宗教化，向台灣／土地之神認罪、救贖，「生命與土地結合」宗教化，否則無法解除魔咒的束縛。

This article took ＂The Circle of Curses＂ as the researched text, to discuss the political issue: Why the Taiwanese cannot be the owner of this land? The novel was set the motives: ＂Taiwanness, the cursed ethnic＂. Taiwanese did so many things shouldn't, that's why they were cursed .There were two questions to discuss: the first, to introspect the historic events, by cultural discourse, Taiwanese ＂intra-ethnic battles, ＂identity of foreign country＂. The second, the way to free from the rings of curses is the identity of Taiwan, to belive, confession to god, salvation, the religionization of ＂the combination life and earth＂.
