The Color Purple

Alice Walker

Southern US early 1900's, yes, she goes from a young woman living with her abusive father and her kind sister to living with her friends in africa after her long and hard life

Celie is a poor undereducated 14 year old living in the american south, her father rapes and beats her, her mother died cursing her on her death bed, Nettie is her sweet younger sister by 2 years, Celie is married off to a man named mister who treats her very poorly. celie has 2 children which were taken away from her.

Man vs Self : celie asks herself why do all these things happen to her Man vs Man: celie vs the men in her life Man vs society: Celie fight societal norms wanting to defend herself from the people that hurt her even though thry are at a higher standing

first person POV, the words used in the novel were I, Me, She, We when refering to the speaker

This novel could only take place during the 1900's as in any other time period celie would have either less or more rights than this point in time.

As this is not an exact true story but still takes place in the past in an accurate description of a specific historical period that makes it a historical fiction novel.

I love the book, and the movie it really makes you appreciate  your life and the plot was very satisfying all the way to the end

Why do you think Elizabethan audiences would enjoy a play that included supernatural characters?
vodomira [7]

The era from the Queen Elizabeth I is the period in the Tudor era of the history of England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I from 1558 to 1603. Historians often portray it as the golden age in English history. The symbol of Britannia, a female personification of Great Britain, was first used in 1572, and subsequently, to mark the Elizabethan age as a renaissance that inspired national pride through classical ideals, international expansion, and naval triumph over Spain.

This "golden age" signified the pinnacle of the English Renaissance and saw the flowering of poetry, music and literature. The era is most famous for theatre, as William Shakespeare and many others composed plays that broke free of England's past style of theatre. It was an age of exploration and expansion abroad, while back at home, the Protestant Reformation became more acceptable to the people, most certainly after the Spanish Armada was repelled. It was also the end of the period when England was a separate realm before its royal union with Scotland.

The Elizabethan age also contrasts sharply with the previous and following sovereignties. It was a brief period of inner peace between the English Reformation and the religious battles between Protestants and Catholics and the political battles between parliament and the monarchy that consumed the remainder of the seventeenth century.

The relative peace of mind that Elizabeth gave the British allowed them to start to believe more freely, without the fear of the church condemning their soul they could express, enjoy and exercise their faith more freely.

Due to the all the previous information presented,  we can conclude that Elizabethan audiences would enjoy a play that included supernatural characters because in that moment:

A. Many people believed in the power of the prophecy.
