Anjali is finished
The author explained why she wrote the rape so matter of fact'ly... It's still disturbing. I don't agree with the author's POV, but I understand what she wanted to do.

My concern is about an impressionable mind reading this, and rationalising it, without an adult to talk to...

No! Absolutely not!

He was too drunk to comprehend what he was doing is no excuse... Cholly raped his daughter, Pecola... There's no shades of grey there, just the blackest of blacks...

I'm angry that a woman author can just say, this is what happened, no judgement... I disagree.
