Genius Annotation (Improvement)

"The Maginot Line" Annotation
"A prostitute in “The Bluest Eye,” whose name is an allusion to the line of concrete fortifications obstacles, and weapons installations that France constructed along its borders with Germany during the 1930s. The line was a response to France’s experience in World War I and was constructed during the run-up to World War II. A similar line of defenses, called the Alpine Line, faced Italy."

My Improvement: "Miss Marie is being referred to as “The Maginot Line” as a humorous and ironic way of showing she is a prostitute that had been “penetrated”, similarly to how the defenses of France were during World War II.
