Morrison is unapologetic with the ruthless way she chagrins the society for turning its back on those it ignores, those who are already struggling with self image and existential importance. Pecola's self loathing and the utter despair she crawls in, finds hope in littlest of things, quietly hoping for dignity and a little bit of happiness. Toni Morrison gently and strongly advocates those who cannot escape violence even from those who experience violence themselves. The helplessness the characters feel have a tendency to dislodge the bashfulness that comes after the wake of self expression.
