Morrison the bluest eye5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() These constructs are a particular issue for African- American communities that often are excluded from representation. The novel addresses the social forces that drive understanding and definition of cultural constructs such as beauty, normalcy, family, and sexuality. Pecola’s story intersects with and contrasts with that of the novel’s primary narrator, Claudia MacTeer, whose coming of age, while challenging, is not the alienating, ultimately impossible situation experienced by Pecola. Individually and collectively people mark Pecola and her dysfunctional family as falling outside the boundaries of what is normal and, thus, as undesirable. The novel takes place in the 1940s in the industrial northeast of Lorian, Ohio, and tells the story of Pecola Breedlove, a young African-American woman who is marginalized by her community and the larger society. The Bluest Eye (1970) is Toni Morrison’s first published novel. Analysis of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eyeīy NASRULLAH MAMBROL on Janu ![]()
