I have tried to study how African-American women think and feel about their bodies. Thus we have Morrison’s perspective of black community’s view on beauty, which the characters in the novel associate with whiteness, and the psychological damages it created on the black women. The Bluest Eye constantly makes various references to white icons of beauty such as Shirley Temple, Greta Garbo, Ginger Rogers etc. The female characters (African American ones) aspire to be white as their
