The Bluest Eye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, 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. Set in 1941, the story is about how 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".

The novel is told from Claudia MacTeer's point of view. She is the daughter of Pecola's foster parents at different stages in her life. In addition, there is an omniscient third-person narrative that includes inset narratives in the first person. The book's controversial topics of racism, incest, and child molestation have led to numerous attempts to ban the novel from schools and libraries in the United States.[1]

Brown is the most common eye color both worldwide and in the United States, with more than half of people in the world having brown eyes. Because of where later genetic mutations originated, lighter eye colors almost exclusively exist among populations with European ancestry.

 

Brown eyed-genes are also generally dominant, meaning a person with brown eyes who produces a child generally has a greater than even chance of producing a child who also has brown eyes.

 

The second most common eye color is blue, with an estimated 17 percent of the worldโ€™s population having blue eyes. Blue-eyed genes are generally recessive.

 

Of all eye colors, brown seems to be the only one that could be called โ€œadvantageousโ€ from a survival perspective. While more research is needed, darker irises are linked to a number of health benefits, including these:

 

Reduced risk of macular degeneration

Lower melanoma risk

Lighter eyes may have some advantages too, but they are also linked to certain health and addiction risks. People with lighter eyes may have the following:

 

A lower chance of developing vitiligo

A higher risk of abusing alcohol

Greater light sensitivity, especially among people with albinism
