Scene Summary and Context

In the novel 'The Colour Purple', the protagonist Celie struggles to find her voice within a society that often suppresses her. The narrative explores her journey towards self-liberation and empowerment. Key moments include her correspondence with her sister, her relationship with Shug Avery, and her eventual assertion of independence. Throughout the story, Celie's speech evolves from submissive to assertive, reflecting her growing confidence and sense of agency. Quotations such as 'I am bruised but not broken' and 'I am beginning to see myself' exemplify her transformation. The themes of voice and liberation are conveyed through her interactions, thoughts, and the language she chooses to use, often marked by simple yet powerful expressions of resilience and hope.
