Eyes in Fiction

Title

Eyes in Fiction

Description

  • The title "Eyes in Fiction" is not a metaphor, the article is about authors' preferences on eye color and description in their writings, especially their inclination to use gray eyes which was a stereotypical eye color of British authors; both Byron's and George Eliot's eyes were gray.
