Abstract

The novel The Bluest Eye is partially based on Morrison’s life where she writes about the helplessness of a girl to racial discrimination. It also discusses the Black Americans versus the White Americans and their culture, femininity and beauty which affected Pecola’s perception of beauty. Pecolas is purely a victim of cruelty and is seen as an image of ugliness.
