In the readers, these characters have blonde hair and blue eyes, the accepted "American" qualities. There are four people: one mother, one father, one sister, and one brother, living in perfect harmony under one roof. Claudia saying that she prefers Jane Withers is, to her, the best way for her to assert her independence from Shirley, and white culture in general. Jane was never as popular as Shirley because she was used as a foil to Shirley.
#The bluest eye quotes movie
Jane Withers got her first movie role in the Shirley Temple film Bright Eyes, but her character was obnoxious and rude, which helped emphasize how sweet and cute Shirley was. She also thinks that by not choosing her more people will agree with her and she will take away her fans like Shirley took away her people, and hopefully regain Bojangles.Īnother thing to note is that Claudia proclaiming that she likes Jane Withers is not random. She shows her distaste towards Shirley by saying that she prefers her rival Jane Withers than her.
She wants to have what she feels she deserves but instead takes that away from her too. She was her friend, daddy, and uncle because they are from the same race but also because, like Bojangles gave his attention to Shirley instead of black children, they give their attention to people like Shirley instead of her. Bojangles was Shirley Temple's family black worker or something in the movie she starred. Claudia didn't like her because she took Bojangles' attention from "her".
