ABSTRACTThe focus of this research is to analyze on the formatting of identity of several

characters in The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison. The characters analyzed Pecola

Breedlove, Pauline, Cholly Breedlove, and The Three Whores (China, Poland,

dan Miss Marie). These four characters have their difficulties in understanding

and forming of their own identities. The process of understanding and forming of

identity is influenced by the existence of collective identities, recognition from

community and society, along with their capability to decide and protect their

identities. These related to three points about identity that consist in the concept of

identity of Kwame Anthony Appiah. This research uses analysis of

characterization as the basic method. The result of this research proves that the

process of understanding and forming of identity is not only influenced by the

environment but also has to go through three points or phases in Appiah?s concept

of identity.
