Abstract
The aim of this abstract is to examine Pecola and her parentssearch for identity and how social forces and cultural expectations shape it. Quest for identity, as well as the influences of community is the major theme of the play. Morrison clearly shows how social identities are generated and replicated in personal life. This concept is pervasive throughout the novel and is reflected in many of the characters. Pecola, Cholly and Mrs. Breedlove represent this search for identification and serve as emblems for the aspirations of numerous Black immigrants from the north at that time.
