Although Morrison admits to having emphasized in her book “codes embedded in black culture (Bloom 3), The Bluest Eye is written in an authentic voice that allows many identifiable themes and ideas to resonate to people of all races, genders, and ages. Author’s careful attention to both the connotations of words and the cadences of language allow the despair and oppression of the characters to be evident through their thoughts, words and behaviors (Critical perspectives 60). Morrison writes affectingly in “the freshest, simplest, and most striking prose” (Critical Perspectives 4). However, there are also, at certain points, detailed descriptions and complex ideas, but such things still tend to be written simply. The blunt approach which Morrison takes in her work commonly causes sentences to be direct and simple. The honesty of Morrison’s writing in The Bluest Eye, which is blunt and occasionally vulgar, is crucial to the development of the society in which the novel is set, and also to the development of characters and descriptions of their actions.
