The film of the “ Color Purple ” seems to share a same theme with the short story “Mala”. The theme of the two stories is refers to sexual abuse towards women. At the beginning of the film, Cellie gave birth to her second child, a boy, as a result of her father that raped her. Further, Cellie’s young sister, Nettie also had been raped by Albert that is Cellie’s husband without her will. Both Cellie and Nettie are the victims of this sexual abuse.
Besides, men have a tendency to treat women like a slave. It can be proved by how Albert had made his wife to do the house chores. After their marriage, Albert gives a hardwork to her. For example, she has to clean their house surrounding, inside till outside, cooking and also taking care all of his children. It seems that Albert can’t live without Cellie. He even can’t find his socks and pick a suitable neck tie. He doesn’t know anything. She is asked to do the all the housework for all time and she is not allowed to get a rest although a few second only. Similar to Mala, she has to work for her husband at home as a housewife and at office as a secretary. She has to treat her husband’s client and that make her uncomfortable. She hates to wear make-up but she knows she is in her husband’s hand. She can’t do nothing about that. From the characterization that had been portrayed in two stories, I’m really respecting them because they are multi-tusking women.
