The novel The Color Purple opens with
Celie asking God about what is happening to her: "Maybe you can give me a sign letting
me know what is happening to me." Celie's mother has left to see a doctor, and her
father rapes her while the mother is away. Her father threatens her and tells her not
to tell anyone what has happened, so Celie can only resort to talking to God about her
problems. Celie does not understand why such violence has befallen her, and she does
not understand what is happening to her body once she is pregnant. As the novel
progresses, she continues to ask God about the trials in her life that she must endure
until she begins to stand up for herself and starts writing letters to her sister Nettie
instead of writing to God.
