comment
The Bluest Eye is a 1970 novel by Toni Morrison that explores the relationship between beauty and race. The story is about a year in the life of Pecola, a young black girl in Lorain, Ohio. It takes place against the backdrop of America's Midwest as well as in the years following the Great Depression. Realizing that darker-skinned black people are treated worse than lighter-skinned black people, who more closely fit Caucasian standards of beauty, Pecola comes to believe that if she had blue eyes, she would escape race-based oppression.

Ungrateful Bastard: The child narrators discuss this trope when they reflect on receiving dolls as presents—white dolls. They don't want dolls that don't look like them, but if they complain, their parents go on rants about how lucky they are to have toys at all, and how they'd have given anything for something like that as a child, etc., etc.

Downer Ending: No one's fortunes improve by the end of the novel. While Claudia and Frieda are okay if despondent, Pecola suffers a nervous breakdown and loses her father's baby due to her mother beating her up, her brother runs away and Cholly dies, leaving her with Pauline and being expelled. Most of them are worse off.

He gets Pecola in his house under the guise of giving her a pet cat, and when she tries to leave with it, Junior heads outside and holds the door closed while laughing at her. When Pecola stops crying because she's playing with the cat, Junior, "curious at not hearing her sobs", opens the door, sees her playing with the cat, and tries to take it back, and when Pecola tries to take it from him, the cat ends up being thrown across the room and lands on a radiator and dies. When Junior's mom comes home and sees this, he immediately blames it on Pecola.

Hooker with a Heart of Gold
 The Bluest Eye / int_77063cd7
comment
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Utterly deconstructed. China, Poland, and Miss Marie are open about their hatred for the men who seek them out and the wives of those men, have no issue charging for their services, and outright admit that they didn't get into prostitution because of need or bad circumstances—they just like having sex and, upon learning that people were willing to pay for the privilege, jumped at the chance. The narrator even outright says that they're not the hookers of old Western novels, where this trope reigned supreme. And yet China, Poland, and Miss Marie are probably the nicest characters in the whole book—they spend time with Pecola and, unlike everyone else in town, treat her with kindness by giving her presents, telling her stories, and offering advice about men (which is more than her own mother ever does), and even taking her to the movies and a carnival with no prompting.

Sex Is Evil
 The Bluest Eye / int_7dad519f
comment
Sex Is Evil: One of the major themes of the story is how this belief utterly destroys people's psyches. Most of the characters view sex as inherently perverted and wrong, and they can't reconcile their natural urges with that fact, driving them to actions ranging from bizarre (one character only feels sexual pleasure when a cat runs between her legs) to downright evil (there are several rapes in the novel). In a particularly clever twist, the only characters who have a healthy understanding of sex and are relatively well-adjusted are China, Poland, and Miss Marie—that is, the town's prostitutes—and everyone hates them for it.

First Period Panic: Pecola gets her first period and thinks something is wrong. The blood begins to spill down Pecola's legs when she's outside with Claudia and Frieda, Claudia's older sister. Pecola and Claudia are scared, but Frieda knows that Pecola is getting her first period. Frieda tries to attach a pad to Pecola's dress. Rosemary, spying from the bushes, yells to Mrs. MacTeer that the girls do something perverted. Mrs. MacTeer sees Pecola's bloody legs and takes her inside to clean her up.

Brown Note Being: Pecola is described as such, although it's downplayed given that the novel is a work of realism. Nearly every character in the book—including her own family members—feel inexplicably and inherently repulsed by her, as if there's something deeply wrong with her very existence. Part of the book's tragedy is that Pecola does nothing to deserve this, and it's not even clear how "ugly" she really is (or if she's ugly at all). The only people in town able to somewhat resist this repulsion are China, Poland, and Miss Marie, the local prostitutes, as they're able to spend time with Pecola without any negative effects.

Hollywood Homely: Deconstructed. In-universe, Pecola is constantly called "ugly" by everyone, even her own mother. No indication is made of her actual appearance, but it's very clear that she's nowhere near ugly enough to justify the constant abuse. Nevertheless, Pecola takes it to heart and believes that all of her problems can be solved if she's prettier. Her mother takes it literally, fostering her own self-loathing by comparing herself to Hollywood movie stars.

Innocent Inaccurate: Whenever Claudia narrates. When Frieda says their parents claim that she may be ruined like the Maginot Line, Claudia assumes that means Frieda will get fat. She tries to reassure her sister that Frieda could exercise and not eat.
