             Toni Morrison writes about Pauline Breedlove who is the mother of Pecola Breedlove. "White men taking such good care about they women..." (Page 123) Pauline Breedlove begins thinking while she is watching a movie in the theaters. Since movies normally exaggerate on how people behave and how things turn out, they make the characters seem impeccable. Most people that star in the movies back (1940's) then are White people, so to her it seem like White men treat their women wonderfully. Toni Morrison writes in dialogue to show us what Pauline is thinking while she is watching these films, and why she is so hard on her own family, why she is so hard on Cholly. "Them pictures gave me a lot of pleasure, but it made me coming home hard, and looking at Cholly hard." (Page 123). The films cause Pauline Breedlove to have standards that Cholly, her husband can't live up to. The author writes Pauline Breedlove using dialogue to show that Pauline Breedlove is not ominous, but due to propaganda that is shown, ideas and fantasies effect Pauline and make her feel bad because her life is not like the movies.
