ABSTRACT
As a black female writer, Toni Morrison is recognized as one of the most important American novelists. The bluest eye is Toni Morrison’s first novel, published in 1970. The novel exposes the negative impact of the white culture on the black people, and discusses the possible ways to resist the impact of the white culture on the black people.
In contrast of one black girl Pecola’s spiritual collapse and the other girl Claudia’s survival, this paper analyses two girls’ different attitudes toward white culture, their different life in the dominant white culture, and the different results. By contrasting the reasons for Pecola’s losing beauty and herself with Claudia’s gaining beauty and herself, in the face of white standard of beauty from the perspective of their respective families, their community, themselves, this paper is in an attempt to demonstrate that American black can find the way to survival.
Key words: The Bluest Eye, white culture, attitude, identity
1 Introduction
1.1 Toni Morrison’s Works
As a black female writer, Toni Morrison is recognized as one of the most important American novelists. Since 1970, Toni Morrison published eight novels, include The Bluest Eye(1970), Sula(1973), Song of Solomon(1977), TarBaby(1981), Beloved(1987), Jazz(1922), Paradise(1998), and Love(2017). “Toni Morrison understands her works more fundamentally as part of a black cultural tradition and works to create a distinctively black literature. Her prose is infected with black musical traditions.”
Morrison always selects the writing materials from the African American’s history and realistic life. All of the novels of Toni Morrison express the same topic，the search for self and place within the community.
Based on the works，Morrison has won many literary awards such as “the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993. She is an international celebrity.”
