Toni Morrison's novel, The Bluest Eye, depicts the struggles of a young African American girl named Pecola Breedlove as she grapples with issues of identity and self-worth in a society that devalues her race and physical appearance. This abstract aims to explore the theme of self-identity in the novel, particularly how Pecola's search for identity is shaped by societal pressures and cultural expectations. Through a close analysis of the novel's characters and plot, this abstract will highlight how Pecola's internalized racism and self-hatred stem from her experiences of being othered and marginalized in a predominantly white society. Additionally, it will explore how Pecola's search for identity is further complicated by her family's dysfunction and the cultural beauty standards that prioritize whiteness. Furthermore, this abstract will examine how Morrison's use of language and narrative techniques illuminates the complexities of identity formation and the impact of societal norms on individual identity. By exploring these themes, this abstract hope to provide a deeper understanding of the novel and its significance in depicting the struggles of Black Americans in their search for self-identity in a world that seeks to erase their existence. Overall, this abstract aims to provide a deeper understanding of the theme of self-identity in The Bluest Eye and its relevance to contemporary discussions of identity and oppression
