Not only does Pecola frequently wish to make herself
invisible, but Pecola's voice is almost completely
inaudible throughout much of The Bluest Eye. The
moment in the novel when we hear Pecola's voice
most prominently is when she speaks to her imaginary
friend. In the other chapters, Pecola is given almost no
voice. (1) How might the absence of Pecola's voice be
symbolic? (2) Is it significant that the only person to
whom Pecola speaks more than a few words is the
prostitute named Miss Marie?

Respuesta :

The play is about a girl that was abused. Because she was abused, people started to avoid her. This speaks to the theme of the text.

How might the absence of Pecola's voice be symbolic?

The absence of Pecola's voice is symbolic because it shows how helpless and voiceless (that is inability to get justice) she is.

Is it significant that the only person to whom Pecola speaks more than a few words is the prostitute named Miss Marie?

Yes, it is. In the setting, the prostitute - Marie represents other people who suffer the same fate of injustice and social prejudice that Pecola now lives with.

ironically, it is the same people that show her care.
