Color Purple

The changes in the characters that I notice are:

• Celie-Before, she was a coward that doesn’t know how to protect herself. The treatment from her father made her became like that. She was afraid even to smile. However after met with Shug, and Sophia, she learned how to defend herself, she smile whenever she want to. At the end of the story, she can’t bare with her husband anymore, and decided to follow Shug and her husband.
• Shug-She had conflict with her with father. She felt that her father didn’t love her. She through her life with her own without rely on someone. After met with Celie, she felt sorry with her life and decided to help Celie.
• Sophia-She was born in the ‘man family’, that is why, she know how to protect herself. She won’t let anybody harm her. However her braveness can’t be accepted, especially at that time, where skin color is still an issue. In the end, her braveness put her in misery; she became maid of the ‘white’. At last, she accepted her fate.

Roles of women in the movie

Roles of women as potrayed in the movie is women are they were treated just like a thing. They were not treated as they supposed to be. They were not treated even as human being. For example, how can a father rape her child twice and sold the baby, to get money. Thus, in the movie women must know how to satisfied man,so that she can be happy. For example, Celie husband treat Shug good, because he likes her and she knew how to treat man.
