'The Bluest Eye' by Tony Morison:-
*Whiteness as the standard of beauty:-
The Bluest Eye provides an extended depiction of the ways in which internalized white beauty standards deform the lives of the black girls & women. The belief that whiteness is superior & can be observed in many references of the novel.for example-The baby dolls for children are white.from little childern to adult women all desire to be white in nigro http://community.in other words,from Pacola to Mrs. Breedlove,most of the female characters who are nigro strongly believe that only white people can be beautiful. However Claudia remains free from this worship of whiteness at earlier stage of her life.later she also learns to hate herself.
The person who suffer most from white beauty standard is of course,person.She connects beauty with being loved & believes that if she had possessed Blue Eyes,the cruelty in her life would have been replaced. By affection & respect this hopeless desire leads ultimately to madness.
Thank You.
