               The color of love is an intricate piece of work by Alice Walker. It paints society in a patriarchal way and in many occasions show women and children who are regularly abused by men who are their close kin. It involves the writing of several letters to God asking him to protect the women from sexual brutality. In the forth letter, God has clearly answered Celie’s prayer by bringing a 16 year old step mother who takes over the responsibility of being Fonso’s wife and Nettie is therefore safe from Fonso’s sexual brutality. The life of the women in this book is shrouded with pain and bitterness except for the bond that they share with each other and the love that God has shown these women (Walker, 2009).
                The letters are a clear indication of the pain and sexual harassment in this book. Cellie is so overprotective of her young sister that she even seems to appreciate the brutality in her life. She encourages her sister to work hard and study so that she doesn’t end up like their mother who died from carrying so many pregnancies and working so hard. The book is a clear indication of a patriarchal society as well as a depiction of racial discrimination. All the men who subject the women and children in this book to hard work and sexual brutality are white men and we can clearly see Celie wishing that they were black men since they would have treated them with love and respect. The lives of the women and children in this book are a representation of pain and suffering. All they do is depend on God for protection and hope that one day the incidences in their lives would be put behind them. The Color Purple is a feminist novel showing the struggles of an uneducated black woman. She is however determined to liberate herself from her struggle and she actually survives.
