Feminine Voice in Walker’s The Color Purple

Number of Pages 6

A 6 page essay in which the writer argues that finding and defining a feminine voice is the most crucial and central thematic factor in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple. This novel, which is written as letters, that is, in epistolary form, demonstrates how the voice of the protagonist, Celie, changes from that of an abused, traumatized child to the voice of a mature, secure woman. This voice differs dramatically from the patriarchal assumptions of the society of Celie’s era, which is the early twentieth century, as Celie’s perspective slowly evolves away from the paradigms of mainstream culture and she emerges as an independent, spiritually-centered individual.
