Title

Social Hypocrisy of Maureen in the ‘Bluest Eye’

Abstract

The Bluest Eye is the first novel written by Toni Morrison. The novel takes place in Lorain, Ohio (Morrison's hometown), and tells the story of a young African-American girl named Pecola who grew up following the Great Depression. The plot is set in 1941; the story tells that she is consistently regarded as "ugly" due to her mannerisms and dark skin. As a result, she develops an inferiority complex, which fuels her desire for the blue eyes she equates with "whiteness".. Maureen is a light-skinned, green-eyed half-blood African-American girl Pecola's age that is described in the book as a "high yellow dream child" with long brown hair and green eyes. Maureen considers herself to be above dark-skinned African-American people. Frieda and Claudia mock Maureen, calling her "Meringue Pie". This paper focuses on the social hypocrisy of Maureen in the novel.
