Toni Morrison is one of the most powerful voices of African-American literature. Morrison’s fictive world is replete with the black characters that have to suffer immensely on account of their race, gender, class, fragmented identity and other social factors on which they have absolutely no control. The Bluest Eye is an epoch creating debut novel of the Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison which unfolds the multiple layers of American society. The novel emphatically brings to light the issues of racism, gender discrimination, alienation, self consciousness, domestic violence and social injustice through the life of the protagonist, an eleven year old girl named Pecola Breedlove. Pecola becomes the victim of the combined cruelty of society and her own family. She suffers from low self esteem owing to her black complexion and unstable family life on one hand and on account of being a female on the other. The present paper aims to explore the inner turmoil faced by the protagonist in respect to her longings mainly harboured to secure a sense of belonging to the society that contributes almost directly in sealing the terrible fate of Pecola Breedlove.
