Critical Article Analysis Thing

Toni Morrison explains in the novel "The Bluest Eye" how much of a waste the idea of beauty is. What is thought of as beauty is only by what the society of the place and time perceives it to be. Beauty being in the eye of the beholder, an idea being much more widely accepted today, was not even a consideration in that time. Parents even thinking that their children are ugly at their onset of life is just hard to conceive.
As this article type review of the book goes, it is not just a story that is told about a young girl's desire for blue eyes. A want that would make all the troubles of her life go away. A façade fabricated by the American stereotype of what beauty really it. It also has a type of poetry with it. The constant repetition of that passage of that white American family shows the disconnect that Pecola still has a hard time dealing with. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, if the person themselves lack any type of self respect, it will only make the bad things that everyone else says sting that much worse. There seems to be hope few and far between in this novel and Toni uses that fact as an analogy to just how bad a young black girl would have it in America in the 1950's.
