The current investigation has as main purpose to demonstrate that protagonists in the novels The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison; and Flowers in the attic by V.C. Andrews present different reactions and outcomes towards abuse because they do not have the same level of psychological maturity. From this point, the characters were analyzed using the theory of Cognitive Development proposed by Jean Piaget in order to identify why their reactions to abuse and trauma are totally different. In that sense, the objective of this investigation was to analyze the novels, in order to discover the reason(s) behind the different reactions and outcomes the protagonists have towards abuse and trauma.RESUMEN: The current investigation has as main purpose to demonstrate that protagonists in the novels The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison; and Flowers in the attic by V.C. Andrews present different reactions and outcomes towards abuse because they do not have the same level of psychological maturity. From this point, the characters were analyzed using the theory of Cognitive Development proposed by Jean Piaget in order to identify why their reactions to abuse and trauma are totally different. In that sense, the objective of this investigation was to analyze the novels, in order to discover the reason(s) behind the different reactions and outcomes the protagonists have towards abuse and trauma.Through the reading and study of the novels, it was intended to prove that heroines, in both cases, have been exposed to different contexts, reason why they did not show a similar cognitive development. More precisely, they have reached different phases according to the theory of Cognitive Development, which exposes that there are different stages which children have to get in order to reach maturity and tools to face difficulties in life. In addition to the analysis of the novels, using the approach of the mentioned theorist, the context in which the texts were written and published was also presented, in order to state if the characters analyzed have developed the stages differently and therefore their answers to the trauma and abuse are also different.Keywords: Abuse, Trauma, Identity, Piagetian Theory of Cognitive Development, Deprivation, Analysis.
