无辜的“绝处逢生”—一双最蓝的眼睛中佩科拉的生存困境毕业论文(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

due to the county‟s arrangement after she bees a homeless child, the object of pity, 4 because of her father‟s burning down the family‟s house. But this indeed hurts Pecola. “Pecola fingered the scar on her knee, heading aside with the sense of shame.”(Hu 20xx: 8) Living in such an embarrassing living circumstances, a little black girl can not live her life normally when she needs lots of care. Lost in the Internalized White Values In the white world, white American‟s dominant aesthetic values acknowledge black skin is ugly while the blue eye, light skin and yellow hair belong to beauty. The black think they are ugly in mon. They believe “You are ugly.” from the mass culture such as the advertisements and the screen and they read exact information from the eyes of the mass (Hu 20xx: 14). So they prefer to buy the blonde, blueeyed baby doll as Christmas present for their children even if it may not be accepted by their children, such as Claudia. And also, it is easy to understand why Pecola is so addicted to the Shirley Temple that she incurred Mrs. Mac Teer‟s plaining as a result of her excessive milk drinking. In addition to the influence of the mass cultural norm about beauty, the racism reinforces the black losing their selfesteem. For example, when Pauline gives birth to Pecola in the hospital, “a doctor tells a group of students that black women do not feel pain while giving birth。 they are „just like horses‟ ”(Shi 20xx: 99). Also, Pecola is wrongly blamed for killing a boy‟s cat and is called a “nasty little black bitch” by his mother. Thus, Pecola can not find her selfesteem. She gets lost. Misery Transferred to Pecola by Some Minority With the similarly difficult living situations, some minority still would transfer his sufferings and pain to other weaker than themselves. In The Bluest Eye, Soaphead Church, a lightskinned West Indian, adds fuel to Pecola‟s miserable life, where she has not been able to save herself. He cheats Pecola that if the dog he dislikes reacts to her given poisoned food, her wish for the bluest eyes will be granted. As a result, the dog convulses and dies in front of her, and Pecola is frightened and stimulated. Her spirit hurts. 5 Family Factors Family should be a warm nest. However, it is an exception to Pecola, where love and affection are unfamiliar to her. Economic and social pressures put unbearable strains on the Breedlove family. Pecola‟s parents pass the misery from past on to her but Pecola‟s elder brother chooses to run away from home or joins the fight instead of helping her to solve the difficulty. Pecola is an outsider. “She wills herself to disappear. She can imagine each body part dissolving except for her eyes” (Shi 20xx: 69). Neither can she do. The only practical thing for Pecola is to endure alone. Living in such a loveless family, Pecola is in a dilemma. Father‟s Rudeness Cholly, Pecola‟s father, is “impulsive and violentfree, but in a dangerous way” (Shi 20xx: 11). He burned down his family house to put the family “outdoor”, which leads to Pecola‟s embarrassing boarding experience. He drinks and fights with his wife, which makes Pecola innocently and increasingly blame herself for the inharmonious atmosphere in her family. He does all these with extreme anger and accumulated rancor. He does not know how to relate to his children. All of these happen to him because of his painful and unfettable earlier life experiences. Cholly was abandoned by his mother when he was 4 days old. Later, he was humiliated by two white hunters watching his having sex for the fist time at his age of 14, which stimulates him heavily. So he decided to find his father for love. But misfortunes never e singly. Cholly was ruthlessly driven away by his father mistakenly after a long voyage of searching. Even if he gets married for his own expected happy life, Cholly feels trapped in his marriage eventually. Everything makes Cholly distorted. “ „Having no idea of how to raise children, and having never watched any parent raise himself, he could not even prehend what such a relationship should be‟ (126)” (cited from Millard 20xx: 12). Finally, he raps Pecola, his daughter, twice and runs away. Cholly contributes directly to Pecola‟s insanity. 6 Mother‟s Neglect Pauline, Pecola‟s mother, suffered a lame foot since her two years old and always felt lonely and isolated. Even after she moved to a better city for more job opportunity with her husband, she is surprised by how unfriendly the other women are. They are amused by her country ways. Her life is still difficult. Pauline gets depressed. Receiving so poor love from her family and the society, Pauline is indulged into the romantic movies to chase love. Gradually, she begins to neglect her own house and family after getting a secured job for supporting life. She dislikes staying home because she and her husband always argue about money。 she is always distant from her daughter because she believes Pecola is ugly. Pauline even allows the small white girl of the wealthy family she does things for calling her “Polly” while Pecola calls Pauline “Mrs. Breedlove”。 she would show tender to the white girl but scold and beat her daughter regardless of the burning on Pecola when Pecola overturned a freshly baked berry cobbler off the counter accidentally. This kind of relationship is not one which “fosters Pecola‟s selfesteem” (Millard 20xx: 10). Even after Pecola, her daughter, is raped by Cholly, her husband, Pauline doesn‟t believe or fort Pecola but to beat her. In this way, Pauline is sympathyworthily but largely responsible for Pecola‟s tragedy. Brother‟s Helplessness Sammy, Pecola‟s elder brother, is written little but is partly responsible for Pecola‟s result. He has run away from home twentyseven times by the time he is 14. “But Pecola is younger and a girl and must stay to endure the terrible inheritance of her。
