She spends a long time giving us his history, so we can see how he's been oppressed most of his life. We also get a glimpse into his destructive marriage to Mrs. Breedlove and the unhappy results. By presenting Pecola's rape from his perspective, we are supposed to see how he justifies it to himself. Still disturbing, but rather than some random person, we can peer into Cholly's head and see what led to that event.Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8807359238958740492.post-13978084249712790952008-02-25T16:00:00.000-05:002008-02-25T16:00:00.000-05:006.

Not only did the African-American community of Lorain view the Breedloves as outsiders, they were also viewed as a different class of black folk because they were from the South. <BR/><BR/>7. Morrison tries to create sympathy for Cholly, in a similar way to book I read last year, Falling On Your Knees by Anne-Marie MacDonald. She paints the picture of a broken man, and the white man's 'rape' is only one example.Nyssanealahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01880042178848084407noreply@blogger.com
