  2. What positive visions of love and beauty does the novel offer? In what ways are characters damaged by ideas/ideals of love and beauty? Be sure to discuss this question as it mirrors question on unit exam.
  3. What is the relationship between racism and sexual violence in the book? (consider Cholly's first sexual encounter and Pecola's rape)
  4. How does the use of multiple narrators affect your understanding of the plot and themes?
