Abstract
Abstract
The Color Purple, one of the maturest and the most representative works of Alice
Walker, probes into the thought and life of modern Afro-American women with a new
visual angle, original conception and special writing skill. In this novel, black woman
writer Alice Walker shapes a new womanist image---Celie, who arouses great interests
of many critics.
At different levels of historical, social and cultural background, this thesis gives a
coherent and systematic analysis of the image of a woman who reaches self-affirmation
and spiritual survival after undergoing self-abnegation in the American society which is
filled with problems of discrimination. The thesis falls into three parts: part one
analyzes the influence of the traditional forces in real life upon Celie, which leads to her
self-abnegation; Celie’s discovery and affirmation of her physical and spiritual values
makes up the second part; part three concludes the paper, illustrating the e of
Celie’s struggle, that is, after her unremitting efforts, Celie wins her spiritual survival
based on her physical freedom and economic independence, achieves harmony with
men and the world, and gains happiness and peace of mind in the established social
environment.
Key words: feminism; self-abnegation; self-affirmation; independence;
spiritual survival
