Explanation and Analysis:
Narration of The Bluest Eye is a joint venture, shared between an unnamed narrator (through whom Morrison herself appears to speak) and Claudia. With a few exceptions, tone remains consistent throughout the novel regardless of who narrates a given chapter or section. Morrison establishes a tone of contemplation and deep reflection that both of her narrators share.
