Question
In this passage from the Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and anwer the following question
Geraldine is described in the following way:
"One such girl from Mobile, or Meridian, or Aiken who did not sweat in her armpits nor between her thighs, who smelled of wood and vanilla, who had made souffles in the Home Economics Department, moved with her husband, Louis, to Lorian Ohio. Her name was Geraldine. There she built her nest, ironed shirts, potted bleeding hearts, played with her cat, and birthed Louis Junior. Geraldine did not allow her baby, Junior, to cry. As long as his needs were physical she could meet them - comfort and satiety. He was always brushed, bathed, oiled, and shod. Geraldine did not talk to him, coo to him, or indulge him in kissing bouts, but she saw that every other desire was fulfilled.
In what sense has Geraldine achieved the white lifestyle desribed in the Dick and Jane? What is missing from her life?
