Love in the book “the bluest eye” takes differet forms. picola doesn’t really know love from her family but from other people in the story. In the story the lack of love is shown almost everywhere. In Picola’s case when she goes to the store, the owner “white man” doesn’t wanta to touch her or even see her because he feels disgust by her looks and color. Piccola also feels that if she where to be white with blue eyes beautiful blond long hair she will be loved by everybody and also feel beautiful.

Yes, and in the end of the book it showed how desperate Pecola was to be accepted by other and loved. Through out the story Pecola is trying to understand what love entails and how to attain it.
I completely agreed with you because she never truly understand and experience that emotion. It’s all being about insecurity and selfishness because she desires those wants for sake of not being harassed nor brought down upon. Yes, she does want to be loved by society.
