PATTERNS OF DISMEMBERED IDENTITY IN TONI MORRISON'S THE BLUEST EYE

Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye commandeers the merits of an ideologically intricate narrative that fosters brutally natural instincts, manifesting themselves through both internalized and externalized racism, distorted identity, absurd patterns of social hegemony that trigger and fuel a regime of explicit and absurd ideologies that seem eager to define and defile the racial dynamics of Homo Sapiens peer bonding, setting everything against a strong and truthful backdrop of trauma and intense psychological suffering. This paper aims at establishing how arbitrary misrepresentations of the concepts of beauty and identity can lead to intense spiritual misery, volatile segregation, sexual violence and confusion, and ultimately definitive madness generated by the intrinsic inability to achieve impossible standards and objectives of happiness.
