Abstract
Alice Malsenior Walker is an African-American author and feminist. Her works focus on the role of women of color in culture and history. She is an open bisexual, and sympathetic towards people of all sexualities, ethnicities, and races. She has described how both the African-American men and women have faced oppression in terms of race, class, and ethnicity. The Color Purple has represented the very bottom structure of the society. Walker not only describes the oppression and suffering of black women but also suggests certain solutions for these tribulations in the novel. Female characters such as Celie, Shug, Nettie and Sofia in The Color Purple are dominated both psychologically and physically.Celie, the downtrodden, degraded, despised, abused, is transformed into and independent and liberated woman at the end of the novel. She has moved from being ugly to a figuratively beautiful swan. She has moved from being the beast of burden to physical and mental declarations of independence, to a reunion with her children and her sister. This article explores the important feministic issues and analyzes the protagonist, Celie in the novel The Color Purple. Over the centuries, the role of men and women are regarded according to their societies? perception of living.
