I tell everyone I meet to read "The Bluest Eye". We went there all of the time to get penny candy and each time this old white man treated us like we were 'ugly'. There was a small store run by a white man and his wife. Racially mixed yet divided by certain treatment of others. I grew up in an upper middle-class neighborhood. She did not want it after being treated soooo ugly. Claudia MacTeer recounts the events of the year that lead up to her best friends, Pecola Breedloves, rape and the death of her. After she left the store it began to rain and she ended up throwing her "Maryjane" candy into the street. She was okay, she was happy and in just an instant the man behind the counter took her to such a low level by treating her "ugly". There is a scene where Pecola goes into a small store with a little change to get some candy. It is about taking a persons happiness and crushing it.
It is about the death of someones spirit. It is about being ugly in all ways because someone or something always told you that you were. This paper is going to analyze two female. The Bluest Eye is about life, love, and the treatment of others. The Bluest eye (1970) is the one of the most outstanding novels to express inferiority complex of black women about the standard of beauty made by white and destructive effect of losing their identity in Black community.
You could say the book is simply about a little black girl that wants to be white with blue eyes because it seems like all is well for the little blue eyed blondes of the world. The story and meaning of this book goes far beyond the words on the pages. It is hard to sum up such a heartfelt piece of literature. I have read "The Bluest Eye" about 15 times since I first read it at 28 years of age.
