Fancy By DRAKE

Fancy By Drake connects to The Bluest Eye by the way Drake uses language in his lyrics to rap about how people dress and what they have because its arbitrary . Drake shows use what people think is beautiful when they thing its beautiful just because someone said it was. People will endear great pain just to look beautiful for someone who said it was. 

  Whats Beautiful?

Beautiful. In The Bluest Eye beautiful is considered to be white with blond hair and blue eyes. The stories of Dick and Jane in The Bluest Eye illustrates that for us. In drakes flow in Fancy "heels" relate to the bluest eye or the most beautiful eye.

                 "Time heals all and heels hurt to walk in

But they go with the clutch that you carry your lip-gloss in" (Drake)

  

In this quote Drake is saying the only reason she wears the heels completely because they match perfectly to her outfit. She will go through the pain for an arbitrary statement for fashion just because its beautiful.  

PecolaThe heels in Drakes flow represent the blue eyes. Pecola wanted to have blue eyes so bad that she hurt her self because of social conformity. Pecola wishes she was beautiful and she wants to be excepted into society so bad she becomes crazy. (skitsofrantic) She has fallen into social conformity just because she's black and doesn't have blue eyes she is lead to think she isn't beautiful. 

"The damage done was total"(The Bluest Eye 204).

Pecola went to great extremes for social conformity like women do all the time in society to fit an arbitrary statement. She is so lost in whats thought to be the most beautiful that she loses sight of what she has that is beautiful. She then has to tell herself that she has the bluest eyes. 

                  "Her eyes sure were blue. But no. Not bluer then yours"(202)

Geraldine 

Geraldine is a model for sugar brown girls who try and be as white as possible by only using name brand stuff and trying to fit in the world around them. The list of the names of brands in the writing of The Bluest Eye are smilier to the meanings in Fancy about having all the name brand clothes. 

"They wash themselves with orange-colored Lifebuoy soap, dust themselves with Cashmere Bouquet talc, clean their teeth with salt on a piece of rag, soften their skin with Jergens Lotion.They smell like wood, newspapers, and vanilla. They straighten their hair with Dixie Peach, and part it on the side "(82)

The 3 Comfortable Women

In The Bluest Eye the 3 whores are women who don't conform to societies pressure to meet the arbitrary beauty statement. The whores connect to Drakes quote by being independent. 

"And you don’t do it for the man, men never notice
You just do it for yourself "(Drake)

The whores do it because its not painful connecting back to the pain full heels of society. In other words they are free body souls, they are happy comfortable and don't give a crap about what anyone else has to say about them. You don't have to be a whore to be happy in life just be who you are, comfortable and have no pain. Just because someone said its beautiful doesn't mean its beautiful.
