Topic > The Complexity of Evil in The Bluest Eye by Morison

The book The Bluest Eye is a true representation of what Morison, the author, thought it was like to grow up as a black girl in a town in Georgia. She wanted to be as realistic as possible, the purpose of the novel is not to be a touching story about how a young black girl emerges in the Georgia neighborhood where she lived. But about the hard and confusing life of a black girl. There was no real hero and there was no goal, just a girl trying to understand the world she lives in. This book highlights the cruel reality of black communities in Georgia. Morison's view of realistic evil is present as he tries to show Cholly Breadlove the true cause of evil. Morrison wants to prove that there is no obvious evil in the world, he thinks that most people are not born evil but are hit and forced to the point of becoming evil. When Cholly raped his daughter, the act was horrific and Morrison wants us to understand the truth. things that pushed Cholly to rape Picola. But many neighbors, based on their point of view without real understanding of Cholly, still think that he is not completely guilty. They think Picola may have at least contributed to the problem. An example of this can be the scene in any of the neighborhood conversations. "'None of the Breedloves look right anyway.' That boy goes somewhere every minute, and the girl is always silly'... 'She bears some of the blame.' 'Oh come on. He's only twelve or so.' 'Yes. But you never know. How come he didn't fight him?'” (189). The neighborhood's view is divided, but they agree that what Cholly did was horrible. However, they are divided on who be to blame, because she probably never resisted. That's what Morrison is trying to show, even in what seems... middle of paper......and Bluest Eye uses a lot of themes and combines them with what Morrison believes it is an accurate representation of what the black community was like growing up within us. There are many controversial topics even by today's standards and the topic of evil is addressed in many forms in the story white than the black community. But the most interesting thing was Cholly himself. In his eyes he takes the form of being the real evil. He would not have done what he did if he had been educated properly. This does not exonerate him from the crime, but it shows to the reader that it is never a clear question and when looking at the action that happens one should look for the why and not just the how. Morrison believes that there is some good in every evil-looking person and that how they become evil is not their choice, they are forced to..
