If you could talk to Pecola before her mind breaks, what would you say? Can there be anything to be even said when the harm is systematic?
Is it even possible for her to recognise her own beauty when society relentlessly tells her that she's ugly? Is a tragic end inevitable for her and people like her?
If meaning or a sense of self-worth is possible for her? How could she obtain it?
I haven't come up with any clean answers – curious about other peoples thoughts.
