The Color Purple

What do you make of the end of this letter? Does it feel peaceful? Angry? Resilient?


I believe that the end of this letter feels both peaceful and relatively angry. Towards the end of her letter, Celie switches opinions on God. When Celie talks about God she says how he loves everything that he has created in including the color purple. This made Celie think about the world and to learn how to appreciate things. At first she thought that God was a white male as she believed what everyone else did. As her opinion changed on this and she became more informed it "freed" her up but she still has that image of the white man in the back of her mind that is bothering her.
