    A three-hundred-year history of slavery in America led to a psychological oppression of black people in America, which still exists today. Toni Morrison decides not to delineate how white dominance has affected African-Americans culturally yet she challenges American standards of white beauty and how that beauty is socially constructed within our culture. In The Bluest Eye, Morrison uses society’s image of beauty to demonstrate how the value of black beauty is diminished by racial prejudices and dilemmas through the lives of Pecola Breedlove, Claudia and Freida MacTeer, whose young minds were affected by this internalized idea that the color of your skin determined how perfect or worthy you were seen, not to yourself and on the inside, but…

    Moishe the Beatle was very significant being the character who bridges the light-hearted beginning of the story to the vividly dark narrative it became. His introductory into the story was of a very poor man who Eliezer sought to be taught of Jewish faith. Moishe was very to himself and did not beg and did not want to be pitied for his way of life. The bridge that turns this story dark is when he experiences a concentration camp and escapes. The injury to his leg was proof enough, but the people amongst his town did not believe a single word that was coming out of his mouth. Oh how they were wrong to not listen to his…

The novel illustrates the real life effects of sexual violence on victims and survivors, emphasizing the importance of getting help and the triumph of mentally surviving the event. Having friends and most importantly relationships, did a big part in the story to help some characters get through and find strength.…
