Celie letters to god are just about her day to day life… she probably doesn’t write everyday though because in some of the letters it skips through time probably like 5 days to a month or even a year. She likes to learn but was soon taken out of school because of her dad who impregnated her. It tells a lot about her life. So far in her letters we have learned that she is a lesbian but had 2 children due to incest from her dad. One she thinks got killed in the woods, and the other one given away for money but in other words it seems to be that. Celie is also a good house keeper as it was mentioned so when her sister-in-laws came over to visit saying that she was even better then the last wife her husband had. She also thinks that if she stays quiet and hides in the background she will live seeing that she always gets beat or pushed over. She seems to be good with kids but has no loves towards any of them though but I’m guessing it’s probably just because she never really got to know them but she does love her sister and tried to protect her when she still lived with her dad. We also see that she is a bit jealous of her step son relationship as she sees that the wife doesn’t get beat and is willingly able to fight for her rights. Her beliefs are very strong though, but as some of my colleges said, “she doesn’t really believe in god but is thinking there is a better life in the afterlife” and so she is pushed on through her life, thinking like this, like she will be happy in the afterlife. We also see she strongly believes in god as in each line so far she wrote Dear, God and that he will always be with her. But I think she might just be lonely and so that loneliness made her a bit psychotic or she was probably just brought up like this.
