I will argue that there is more than just the loving eye and the arrogant eye, In Marilyn Frye ‘in and out of harm’s way: arrogance and love’ article in which she stats that our eyes are either arrogant or loving. She believed that there is no such thing for someone to have something as a ‘neutral eye’. For example, the arrogant eye sees everything in relation to itself and is always a one-sided demeaner, as it denies the mystery and complexity’s in the world instead the arrogant eyes-only favor seeing simplicity and having control in whichever situation it is in.

For it is no way possible to relate to her for she can never experience or go through how the colored woman is treated for the white woman is from a different ‘world’, or ‘race’. She is viewing through both which makes this ‘neutral’, for accepting you cannot relate to the color woman you can respect that the white woman does have a ‘privilege’ or a ‘different lifestyle’ than the colored woman.
A lot of example of the neutral eye can be seen that Frye refuses to accept, or just other eyes on how to view the world. ‘Perspective eye’ someone who always sees an opportunity in everything, and are always motivated and ready to start a business or only look forward and work hard for promotions in life. They always see something better, something greater anywhere they look. Even a ‘Hatful eye’; people who only see hatred and the bad things in life. As a hatful eye can only see people wanting to harm them or hurt them, this could be what serial killers see
