Soaphead Church is filled with guilt for all of his misdeeds. He writes a letter to god pleading for mercy and it's clear what he thinks about justice. In his eyes, he has done wrong, but it would be unjust to punish him, because he's suffered before, he's tried to do good and he hates being bad. He says "But consider: The woman who left... I had to do your work for you." (Morrison 179-180)

Pauline has lost the passion to love and care for her own family and home but has gained love for another family and household, the Fishers. "The things she could afford to buy did no last, had no beauty or style, and were absorbed by the dingy storefront. More and more she neglected her house, her children, her man--they were like the afterthoughts one has just before sleep...the dark edges that made daily life with the Fishers lighter, more delicate, more lovey" (page 127)

"The lakefront houses were the loveliest. Garden furniture, ornaments, windows like shiny eyeglasses, and no sign of life. The backyards of these houses fell away in green slopes down to a strip of sand, and then the blue Lake Erie, lapping all the way to Canada. The orange-patched sky of the steel-mill section never reached this part of town. The sky was always blue"(Morrison 117).Fridia and pauline walk to the lakefront and they spectate their surrounding, they notice a park that is for white children only and in the back they are shocked to find pecola with one of the prettiest houses.

Claudia and Frieda were walking to Mrs. Breedlove's workplace in attempt to find Pecola and they walk by a very different environment. The houses were nice, the kids were all white and were playing outside, and this setting was much different than what Claudia and Frieda were used to. "It was empty now, but sweetly expectant of clean, white, well behaved children... Black people were not allowed in the park, and so it filled out dreams" (Morrison 105)

The little girls expose the injustices of adults at this time. they speak to each other saying, "'Daddy beat [Mr. Henry] up...[because] he picked at me.' Picked at you? You mean like Soaphead Church?'" There are people associated with pedophilia and it wasn't uncommon for parents to turn to this abuse during this time whether its physical or sexual.

When Darlene and Cholly sneak away and have sex two men sneak up on them  "He stared at Darlene’s hands covering her face in

As Claudia and Freida look for Pauline to find Pecola, they observe the differences in their lifestyle and environment versus the white children's. "It was empty now, but sweetly expectant of clean, white, well behaved children... Black people were not allowed in the park..." (Morrison 105). This only confirms further the economic and social differences that were common in this time for Freida and Claudia versus white people.
