Abstract: | Toni Morrison’sThe Bluest Eyeis a novelbasedon the lives of black people, who,in theirattempt to be like the whites are shattered mentally and physically. The young protagonist, Pecola is obsessed with having blue eyes, as they; in her understanding are the objects to give her recognition in the white world. Similarly, Pauline forgets her rootsand finds her identity being amammyfor a white family andChollygoes on to rape his biological daughter in a rage of passion,resulting fromhis hatredofthe white people.Such confrontations with the whites’ world make black characters the “mimic men” who have no roots and culture of their own. They lose the sense of community, their connection to their past, and their rich cultural heritage in a futile attempt to internalize the white culture and its values. |
