Abstract
This paper is an attempt to analyze the compare perspectives of race, class, ethnicity and gender in two novels—Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Alice Walker’s The Colour Purple. The paper assesses the treatment of sex, alienation, rape, lust, incest and gendered identity in both novels. My attempt is explore how internal racism overcomes two major protagonists, Pecola and Celie in both the novels. Pecola finds her ugly and unlucky in the world so Celie grapples with her own problems. This is an attempt how gendered identity is explored and constructed in both the novels and how concept of beauty is socially constructed. It has been analyzed how race determines the fate in Afro-American girls and ladies and how they have to live a worse life even than animals. The inhuman treatment drives them to stride outside violating the social and patriarchal rules.
