In the bluest eye , beauty lies deeper than just skin .Toni Morrison’s novel tells the tale of a young African American girl’s drive to become perfect , to be beautiful during an era when standards of beauty were set by white Americans . Pecola breedlove descends into madness because she yearns for something she cannot have the bluest eye of a white girl. Indeed she “epitomizes the American obsession with whiteness”. Morrison’s book describes the painful efforts of one African-American family struggling to live up to the cultural standards of beauty that have imposed upon them, overcoming both racial prejudice and their own ugliness.

Racial difference, feminism, cultural difference
