Artificial Intelligence: Future Prospects and Efficacy
The Bluest Eye was published in 1970 by Toni Morrison, an African American novelist whose works addressed the harsh conditions and impacts of racism in the United States. The novel is set in Lorain, Ohio and it explicates the story of a young black lady, Pecola, who is raised in the years after the Great Depression. Set in 1941, the novel predominantly addresses white supremacy and the premise that dark skin and mannerisms are ugly. Pecola develops an inferiority complex that pushes her desires for the blue eye that she links to whiteness. This study examines some of the themes, ideas, and symbols in the novel.
