Critical Review of the Protagonist Characters in the Selected Novels of
Toni Morrison With Reference to
The Bluest Eye and Sula

R. Bhuvaneswari, M.A., M.Phil.

Abstract

Toni Morrison is one of the most noteworthy Afro American novelists of the 20th century. She has about eleven novels to her credit. Toni Morrison is one of the most greatly praised living writers; she has been considered as the primary architect in creating a legendary written message for Afro-Americans. She has a wide range of audience across racial boundaries. Her works swivel around her experience that she encountered in her black commune. She expresses her various experiences that she faced by way of racial discrimination, white oppression and violence in the black community and also exploitation of blacks by other black. This paper elaborates on the critical review on the protagonist characters of two novels of Toni Morrison with reference to “The Bluest Eye” and “Sula”.

Introduction
Victimization in The Bluest Eye

Morrison's writing is always an authentic piece of writing as it combines the realistic surroundings of Black families with their neighbourhoods in an Ohio town which is as like as Morrison's hometown. In her first novel “The Bluest Eye”, Pecola is the crucial character. Though she takes up a key role, she is portrayed as a lifeless creature and remains a puzzling character throughout the novel.
