Rape Scene In The Bluest Eye

In the article Taking Refuge in How Dissecting the Motives buns Chollys Rape in The Bluest Eye by Rebecca Andrews, Andrews talks nearly the motives behind Cholly raping Pecola. This article shows how Andrews believes that Cholly is giving his daughter the only form of experience he knows how to usher In order for the us to understand the itch scene they would hold in to understand his past. Before he was even born(p) his dad had aband peerlessd his mother when she found out she was pregnant and golf club days after he was born his mom leaves him in a trash pile. He was left to grow up with his Aunt nose who he had a tough time viewing as a real parent.When she made him sleep with her for warmth in the winter and he could see her old wrinkled breasts in her nightgown&8212 then he wondered whether it would have been reasonable as well to have died. (132) If he looked at her as an actual parent he wouldnt have estimation about it like that still instead he would have noti on about it in a good way. Usually kids look earlier to sleeping with their mothers but not him he saw it in a bad way. His first encounters with parenting caused him to understand at a young come on that a parent/ tiddler relationship is not necessarily one that is filled with complete. (Andrews)He was never taught how to have a good parent child relationship therefore he wouldnt have been able to have one with his own children. Moments before he rapes his daughter, he has returned home inebriate and sees her washing dishes. His first reaction to her is revulsion which is a reaction to her young, helpless, impossible presence. (Morrison 161) Since he had never had love or affection from his parents he had failed to show any to Pecola. He thinks why she should even love him if he potty never give her anything. When he sees her hopeless it reminds him of when he matte up that way.Which brings him back to the first time he had first had sex and it was off-and-on(a) when two whit e guys and make them continue while they watched. By this natural event he realized that he could express anger and love by sex. So when he first looks at Pecola he feels hatred but then it changes to love when she shift from one foot to the other and scratches her stagecoach with her toe and it reminds him to when he had first met Pauline. When he first saw Pauline he didnt have intentionally have feelings of lust as for the same with Pecola. The only way that he can show is love for Pecola is by having sex with her.In my opinion it is not his fault that he cant show his love in another way. He grew up not knowing how to show that love and when he finally did it was by sex. But that still doesnt make what he did right. I declare with Andrews when she says that Cholly is giving his daughter the only form of love he knows how to express but at the same time he could have lettered to love in a different way for his children. By doing what he did to Pecola she will think that it s a normal thing. Its just a beginning of a cycle that will last for a long time.
