The Color Purple – Alice Walker
Celie, one main character is elevated to the weight of Shug Avery’s Great courage to face every little obstacle that comes her way even when she’s put down and deserted by the society, friends and relatives. Celie Meets Shug Avery when she gets married to Albert, a Widower, who demands her to be a servant and utilizes her for his animalistic pleasures at times; Yet again, its mere bondage to Celie, Albert is someone exactly similar to her step dad.
Celie, at the outset is said to be a 14 year old girl who is sexually harassed by her step dad, a result of which she becomes the mother of two children, Adam and Olivia. They are raised by Nettie, her sister. Nettie, marries Samuel, a Preacher when his wife dies. They strive so hard that they determined to see an immense surge of development in life of blacks. All they wanted is to bring blacks out of that dirty conventional world of absurdity. Nettie regularly pens letters to Celie, however, Albert’s wicked nature hides the bunch of them from eyes of his wife. Finally, Shug finds all of those out, through which the story of Nettie in Olinka progresses.
Coming to Shug Avery, She’s introduced like a big piece of cake, through a photograph to Celie, which in turn kindles the spirit of Homosexual love in her. However, We could argue that the theme of love is not completely lust, because it’s a part of feminism that takes her through paths of happiness thus leading to emancipation. Something sensible, that serves a pivotal point in the novel. In the end, Celie’s enchained submission to Albert, being all the time beaten up to excruciating pain, bursts to freedom, when Shug comforts her by saying “There’s no GOD but Love’s God and its deep down there at every single being’s heart”..
Sophia, the wife of Harpo & daughter- in – law of Albert, is a symbol of retaliation and independent womanhood, where she’s portrayed by brutally attacking Harpo when he humiliates her physically. The cutting down on abuse in slavery begins just here as she joins hands with Shug as a characteristic to emancipation.
Shug’s determination and her strong feelings towards freedom to women, changes Celie, lifts her high up the society, annihilate’s her inferiority and establishes a firm trait in her to challenge men on a platform of self confidence and employment. The vitality of the title “The Color Purple” lies in the fact that Celie, once on seeing Shug’s Photograph, while she’s attracted by the color of her outfit, that’s undoubtedly PURPLE!, Replies To Kate(Albert’s Sister), that she’d like to get dresses of Purple color as gifts to her excellent Heeding of Home and Children.
A Storyline of Sensible events, carefully woven with the thought of effectively elevating Feminism with ingredients of Freedom, Equality, Opportunity, Rights and this very tinge of Lust and love in the same gender, undoubtedly being the secret element to magnifying the thematic content of the novel.

AMERICAN LITERATURE AND RALPH WALDO EMERSON
New civilizations are always essential pathways to development of literature and art. However transforming yet another nation’s culture and ethics would necessarily not tend to innovations. To structure American society and literature, understanding political influences, tangential approach to the European Literature & poetic interferences are extremely vital. Taking a way that’s new in everything; especially in defining the literature of a developing nation was indeed a revolution. Conventional definitions were put out of place and the surge of a new meaning to the nation’s geography, ethics and culture encouraged many writers to become expert authors. A lot of others went on to shape and color the American literature with entirely new methods of writing. Cutting down on the European tinge, the thrill of articulating the theme became the trend of time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, fondly called EMERSON was one of the chief inaugrators of literature in America. His brilliance reflected in bringing a 19th century reform called TRANSCENDENTALISM. Something that Emerson never failed was to kindle the spirits of a common man. Emerson emphasized the presentation of older thoughts in a completely novel sense of logic such that the content never fades away. Yes, influenced however, his writings incorporated a fair amount of Neo-Platonism and Scottish realism of Europe.
Inviting mystic entities to work, Emerson put forth the concept of natural and the Supernatural. He strongly believed that the OVER SOUL or the SPIRIT always connected to man thru intuition and behavior. The most striking feature of Emerson’s writing was seeking similarity in unlike entities. Through his poem “EACH AND ALL” he clearly states that every single item on earth has an undeniable dependence on things around in a loose connection of poetic parts. Many readers weren’t ready to take it as they expected a sense of strong poetic structure rather than prose. Criticism rose to open the notion that Emerson’s poems were feeble enough not to present a heavier sense of poetic method. With a series of essays in his journal “THE DIAL” Emerson shot to fame with his descriptive and modal writing. Thus termed as versatile, affluent and technically apt, Emerson’s prose ruled every reader.
It was Emerson who introduced the Hindu doctrine to explain the philosophical face of natural living. Moving deeper, Emerson also instituted the use of Vedanta philosophy and Indian culture. As always, Emerson truly believed that a poet needs a perfect relationship with his intuitive spirit to understand himself and only then he would be able to render it right to his target audience.
With stunning pack of logic,deep philosophical connections and spontaneous penning Emerson is a King instigator of American Literature.
