The bluest eye

"The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison, is an adaptation of how oppression emotionally and psychologically impacts a young girl named Pecola. Pecola was oppressed by society, by her community, and by her own family. As a result her reality is subjectively based on the premise that if she could have "blue eyes" she would then be revered by all of her oppressors. Throughout the story Pecola appears to be a scapegoat of her oppressors. She …

…feels that their treated better. Her mother who was dark skinned tried to get her daughter to accept and not be ashamed of whom she is. Through trails and tribulations, Mary Jane Has difficulty being something she's not as well as dealing with her own hatred for her own race. However, unlike Pecola, the little girl finally did fully accept her race even though it wasn’t until her mother had passed away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
