The Color Purple elicits multitudinous generalizations upon bitter circumstances. The novel possesses a surfeit of themes. One of the major themes in The Color Purple is the sexual relationships between the male and female characters, sexism. Walker stages her story of the transformation of Celie from a female that is passive to one who eventually becomes an independent black woman in the culture of the rural society from the 1920s to the early 1940s. Celie is dominated by her father who turns out to be her stepfather at the beginning of the story. In the latter part of the anecdote her husband Albert takes over as her foreperson. Shug Avery`s relationship with Celie was the cause of Celie`s personality change. Celie wrote letters to God because her stepfather Alphonso, told her to tell no one but God of sexual molestations he inflicted upon her. Through the letters, Walker wanted readers to generate a taste of Celie`s actuality, which at first is discrete, but eventually becomes stable and independent.

The Color Purple, was released in 1985 and was set in the early until middle of the 1900s, it was one of the first featured movies to openly discuss the topic of domestic violence as a main part of the film. This has been very significant because it sets a standard of normalizing domestic violence in the characters lives, which Walker was able to show and develop through Celie and how she mistreatment in the hands of her stepfather and husband. In addition, a powerful message about how people who have been oppressed can unite together to overcome their oppressors. By the character finding out who she is and taking value in what she can become, this movie shows a feminist power.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker starts off with a rather graphic view of a young black woman denominated as Celie. Celie has to learn how to survive her abusive past. She also has to figure out a way she can release her past in search of the true meaning of love. Alice walker wrote this book as an epistolary novel to further emphasize Celie`s life events. From the beginning of the novel Alice Walker swiftly establishes an intimate contact with the reader. The book begins with a eloquent and lucid record of the physical abuse Celie`s father subjected her to. Even in Celie`s dark moments she is still able to find hope.

The Color Purple has a very sad, serious, and honest tone. The intention of the passages can include much imagery by the thought that go through someone’s head while they read. There are a few moments of humor but the main point doesn’t include funny moments. This novel is about passing through very serious moments, full of sadness, and tragedy. a woman who suffered many difficult casualties one on top of the other but managed to keep strong and face her problems. Celie the protagonist, writes letters to God expressing the horrible life she had and how sad things occurred to her constantly, and she managed to do this in a very calm manner.

Reading and writing gave her time alone to reflect on herself. Sofia teaches Celie about self-reassurance, to stand up for herself, how to be a good wife and most important don’t back down to anyone regardless of who they may be. On the other hand, Shug teaches her how to be beautiful, how to love, and how to live her life as if it was her last. While Celie enjoys, what has been given to her, she uses these tools to find the identity in herself. I had my own help from my Aunt who taught me about self-love, how to cope with my tragedies and daily responsibilities. These were the things that were missing in my life. When Sofia tells Celie about fighting her family, she explains to Celie that she will continue to fight for the rest of her life. “All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. A girl child ain’t safe in a family of men, but I ain’t never had to fight in my own house”! (Broadway Musical- The Color Purple) I know personally that I had to fight my family as well. Even after the tragedies in my life I am still fighting a battle of abuse that have been going on for over 30 years. Some family I talk to but most them I had to permanently let go. I felt that it would be the best thing for me like Celie who drew up enough courage to leave her abusive husband after 30 years of marriage. Celie’s combats that she had to encounter made her a stronger woman to believe not only in life but importantly

In the beginning, the girl's mother was very sick. Their step-father took charge of the household and he began abusing Celie. Celie, being the oldest, accepted the abuse as a duty and attempted to stand her ground. She wanted to remain strong in order to insure the safety of her

Her life never showed her any reason why she should be worth what she was actually worth. Celie had never experienced true love even from her mother or her father but only from her dearest sister. As she goes through her usual sufferings of life, she comes across some people who begin to understand her feelings. Shug Avery and other women of love, try to show her the real world and how much the society had blinded her. Celie's realization that "women do need a little fun, once in a while," leads to her denial and refutation of the roles that the society places on gender, race and class. She begins to model her life to her dreams, and no longer to the way the society expects it. She follows her passion and helps others to come out the same way. Alice Walker convinces the readers that life is not about pleasing the society and those in authority, but about pleasing oneself. This principle followed in her book, eventually leads Celie to a sense of self-accomplishment and happiness. Through her understanding that "if yellow is a name, black is the same," Celie finally feels just like every other person- free to satisfy herself, being restrained no more by anybody else. She stood firm, with her God for help, in the paths she believed was right.

In this section of the novel, I was shocked at Celie for opening up about her feelings to Shug Avery. She was the last person I thought Celie would talk to because Shug and Mr.____ are in love with each other. However, after Shug is brought to Mr.____ because she is sick, Celie is forced to take care of her. Through this experience, Celie begins to acknowledge that the perspective people have of her differs from the way she sees herself. As Celie’s relationship with Shug becomes more intimate, Celie discovers a unique friendship that she had never experienced before.
