Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the architectural structure of the novel The Bluest Eye by the North American writer Toni Morrison, and how its organization contributes for the deconstruction of the main character – Pecola. This analysis is based on Bakhtin’s theory about the romance compositional and architectural form. The writer develops a narrative sequence that at the same time deconstructs the character and smoothes this process by humanizing the other characters responsible for her deconstruction. It is like a chain of subjectivities, one infl uencing the other. There are two narrators in the novel: one is a narrator-character and the other is an omniscient narrator. They give balance and harmony to the history. The romance architectural structure is part of the stylistic resource used to characterize the main character.
