By adverting God in nature, this passage allows us to identify God himself speaking to Albert through Celie. She is now aware of her own existence within the world, a world in which Shug has directn her God. Thus she is able
to curse Albert in the most(prenominal) dramatic way imaginable by speaking straightway from nature. Shug realizes this when she sees Celie and immediately tells Albert to shut up so as not to make things worse.
Do I recommend this harbor to readers? I really hesitate to do that, despite all the prizes and awards the book has garnered, and the movie Steven Spielberg made from it.
The reason for my hesitation is that in that respect are too many people wno do not see God in these pages, but only the second-citizen status of America's blacks (and, afterward in the book, Africa's natives). There are too many stereotypes that ordain have some readers nodding. There arte the shiftless lazy Negroes in the book, the poorly uneducated ones, those who drink too much, or do too much dope, and the criminal element is there, too. I am concerned that the message some readers will take away is that, rather than the uplifting one that there is a God for everyone.

Feminists will have to wait until near the end of the book to be satisfied that Celie awakens and Nettie has achieved more than most.
