Engracia continuously spat and slapped Pio as soon as she was released from his grasp then clutched Martha and told her words that were foreign and strange, words that were only half-understood but Martha was crying. When Martha was eighteen, she fully understood the night that had been a blur to her when she was still twelve.

The fiction spans to around thirty years in the life cycle of Celie, a naïve Southern black girl who later emancipates into a strong black woman fully realizing her potential physically, economically and spiritually by reconnecting with the nature. Alice Walker palpably portrays the plight of Celie during her adolescence when she was repeatedly beaten up and raped by her step father, who forcing himself on her, threatened her stating: “You better not never tell nobody but God. It’d kill your mammy”. (3) and hence Celie chose to give vent to her forced silence through a series of letters to God who, because of her experiences, she described with patriarchal, abusive characteristics: He gave me a lynched daddy, a crazy mama, a lowdown dog of a step pa and a sister I probably won’t ever see again. Anyway, I say, the God I been praying and writing to is a man.
Moore is shocked at the metamorphosis of her son. “The traces of young- man humanitarianism had sloughed off”. She thinks that “[o]ne touch of regret … would have made him a different man, and the British Empire a different institution” (p.70). She is also shocked to hear her son’s adopted ideological stance.

She also likely despises death for taking her son. Other than losing his soul, she also had to lose him to the soil and the earth.
It also leads to the rejection of Darcy, which is cruelly based on a false claim made by Wickham. Because of her prejudice, she is held up on the opinion that Wickham is the one that should be trusted. She refuses to hear anything contradictory to her own opinion. When Jane doubts the credibility of Wickham's allegations toward Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth's pride prevents her to consider Jane’s predispositions. Jane characteristically hesitates to condemn Darcy, “Do but consider in what a disgraceful light it places Mr. Darcy, to be treating his father’s favorite in such a manner.
Look to ’t, I charge you. Come your ways.” (1.3.140-145) Her father told her that she cannot talk to Hamlet anymore and that she must end their relationship with one another.
