"Characterization"—Pecola Breedlove
Pecola Breedlove, is the most important character in the book the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. Pecola Breedlove had a very poor life. She was born in a family with an alcoholic father, and a mother, who can’t be with her all the times, she has no one to talk with.
Pecola Breedlove faced many problems in the story that her father, Cholly, raped her. Pecola has a desire to change her eye color to blue. Pecola has a poor life that even some school kids makes fun of her when she walks on the street. A boy even takes her home and fools her. He ripped her clothes, screams at her, and says that she is ugly. Pecola then got pregnant from the rape of her father, her mother scold at Cholly that he could never see her and Pecola again. Pecola lost a father, but it’s a good thing. Pecola tries to change he eye color to blue so people would look at her differently. She thinks that whites have a high societal image. She went to the Church to ask for help if she can change her eye color to blue, but the Priest said that he does not have the power to. Pecola became depressive and tired of being with her own life. No one knows where she is and what happened to her.
Pecola is one of the most important characters in the novel The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. The whole novel is talks about her life and her experiences. How she faces problems, how she gets through problems, and how she ends up in her problems. I think Pecola is a pitiful, lamentable girl, I don’t think I could be a girl like Pecola. I am a charming person, I don’t think my personality will go with Pecola, but I would like her to be my friend. She would be a good friend of mine because I would love to have a friend to protect with. She has a poor life, and she is very weak, if she have a friend like me, she would have a better life.
