purple flowers


"She like a queen to me so I say to Kate, Somethin puruple, maybe little red in it too."

Colors are very important symbols in the novel, especially the color purple. When Kate takes Celie to buy new clothes, she wants the color purple because to her it symbolizes royalty. Also, when Celie and Shug are talking about God, they refer to the color purple. Celie reflects on the beauty of the color and that she can't believe that God was able to create something like that. This realization symbolizes her religious awakening and finding God in nature.
