【正文】 uch a kind of person. Different from her sister Celie, Nettie is a highly intellectual black woman in the novel and from an early age, she has realized the value of education. She believes that it is of great importance to educate all the black women for the seek of black women’s awakening and independence. Nettie doesn’t like to live with her stepfather so she goes to live with Celie after Celie gets married. But Albert throws Nettie out of his house because she rejects his intentions. When she is in Celie’s home, she witnesses the miserable life of her sister so she tries her best to teach Celie reading and spelling, which makes Celie have the ability to write and read. After leaving Celie’s house, she goes to Africa as a missionary and this experience 山東政法學(xué)院外語系 2020 屆本科畢業(yè)論文 9 broadens her view and enriches her mind and she writes what she has learned to Celie, and these letters help both Celie and herself grow mature emotionally and psychologically. The female character Nettie breaks the stereotype of the black women figure in the whites’ eyes. Nettie is a new representative of AfroAmerican women who achieve their own independence and identity through acquiring knowledge and their own efforts. Black Women’s Resistance In The Color Purple, Alice Walker portrays some black women characters who are more or less the victims of the double oppression. Fortunately, they gradually begin to awaken and make every effort to gain their identity, dignity and independence. We still take the heroine Celie as example. We all know that Celie is such a girl who resigns herself to adversity and never thinks about resisting at first. Raped by her stepfather, being deprived of the right of education and forced to do all kinds of housework also by her stepfather when she is in her own family, she dares not to say any word to fight against him but just plains to God, who can do nothing for her. After being pelled to marry to Albert, her situation is no better than and even worse than before: for Albert, Celie is not only a housewife to cook meals, to clean the house and to take care of his four children but also a nice labor in the field and sexual servant on his bed. Even though Celie does everything well, he still beats her very often just like beating his children. Because of the racism, Celie is oppressed by the white people and she was also oppressed by her stepfather and her husband because of the sexism. Under the double oppression, she chooses to accept the reality instead of rebelling at the beginning. However, things bee different later: Celie gradually awakens under the help of Nettie, Shug and Sofia. Sofia’s behavior of fighting against Albert and Harpo even the white people gives her a deep impression. Shug teaches Celie to respect herself and to bee confident, which makes Celie realize the value of her own. Nettie and her letters give Celie great spiritual encouragement. As a result, Celie begins to resist and dare to say what she thinks in her heart and say “no” to Albert. Knowing that Albert has been concealing her sister’s letters for many years, Celie bees very angry that she wants to leave him and even has an impulse to kill him, which is out of Celie’s imagination before. This marks that Celie has made up her mind to leave Albert and fight for her own rights. Though she failed the first, but it’s really a progress for her. The second time when Celie declares the decision of leaving for Memphis, Albert 山東政法學(xué)院外語系 2020 屆本科畢業(yè)論文 10 insults her to prevent her from leaving, to his surprise, Celie rebels him without any hesitation. She gets angry at the dinner table: You a lowdown dog is what’s wrong, I say. It’s time to leave you and enter into creation. And you dead body just be wele mat I need. Say what? He ast. Shock. All around the table folkses mouths be dropping open. You took my sister Nettie away from me, I say. And she was the only person love me in the world. start to sputter. But But But But But. Sound like some kind of motor. But Nettie and my children ing soon, I say. And when she do, all us together gon whup you ass. (Alice Walker 170) She also says “I’m poor, I’m black, I maybe ugly and can’t cook, a voice say to everything listening. But I’m here”. (The Color Purple 187) which shows that Celie begins to fight against the men who oppressed her before. At the end of the novel, Celie leaves Albert and goes to Memphis with Shug. In the encouragement of Shug, Celie begins to make pants in order to make a living. During that time, only men can wear pants while women are not allowed, but Celie dares to break the tradition and she not only wears the pants but also designs and makes all kinds of pants for both males and females, which brings her a great wealth and success and then she bees a successful business woman. She gains the economic independence so that she doesn’t need to rely on men any more but rely on herself. From then on, she changes her fate that she is no longer the subsidiary of men but stands on her feet and bees the master of herself. Celie not only obtains her economic independence but also her identity and dignity。 in addition, it is helpful to establish the harmonious relationship between men and women. Albert finally realizes his mistakes and he builds a friendly relationship with Celie, which is quite different from before. The awakening of the black women liberates them and makes them win their proper dignity in the selfrespect and selfindependent. 山東政法學(xué)院外語系 2020 屆本科畢業(yè)論文 11 Chapter Four Conclusion Alice Walker is one of the most influential black women writers, and her novel The Color Purple is considered as a very important novel in American history and receives many high praises.
