sion. The protagonist Celie is a typical representative of this kind of black woman. The oppression that Celie suffers can be divided into two parts. The first oppression es from her stepfather, Alphonso. Because Celie’s mother is ill and can’t meet her husband’s sexual demand any more, Alphonso turns to Celie to vent his sexual desire. Her stepfather threatens her that she is not allowed to tell anyone about her suffering in the family. He warns her that if she tells to other people, maybe he will take 山东政法学院外语系 2020 届本科毕业论文 4 revenge to her mother or her mother will die because she can not accept the fact that her daughter is sexually abused. This mand shows that Celie should not resist her stepfather in the surface, but in the extended meaning, it reflects a social phenomenon that women should pletely obey men’s will and do whatever men mand. Raped by her stepfather, Celie has been pregnant twice and gives birth to a boy and a girl respectively, who are taken away immediately by her stepfather. Celie’s mother doesn’t know the truth and keeps cursing Celie until her death because her stepfather tells her mother that she has love affairs with some other man. When Celie is pregnant for the first time, her stepfather deprives her rights of being educated, which makes Celie nearly an illiterate person. Other than what mentioned above, her stepfather also beats her violently and unreasonably and she has to do all kinds of housework. What the role she plays is just a housekeeper and her stepfather’s slave. Being tired of her stepfather, Celie is married to Mr. Albert in the cost of giving Albert two cows when she is 20 years old, which brings Celie another kind of oppression, the oppression from her husband. Marriage can not save her out of the miserable life but continues and even bees worse. In the new family, Celie still undergoes various oppression and humiliation. Her husband just considers her as a tool of meeting his sex desire and a mammy to look after his four children, so he does everything he wants on Celie without considering her feelings. He considers Celie to be useless but just a piece of property of him. While his son, Harbo asks why he beat Celie so frequently, his answer is that Celie is his wife, so he has the right to do everything he wants on her, he also can entirely control her life, her will and her destiny. What’s worse, Celie doesn’t think it’s wrong but just accepts it as her destiny. She considers what happened to her is right, reasonable and natural, so that she never considers fighting against that。 instead, she just keeps silent. From what happens to Celie, we can see that the phenomenon that women are oppressed by men is very mon。 women are totally controlled by men, especially the black women. Bearing the sexual oppression, women are just men’s subsidiary and slave. Black Women’s Racial Oppression from the White People American is a multirace country and the race issue is always an important part in American life. In a very long period of time in the whitedominated society, the 山东政法学院外语系 2020 届本科毕业论文 5 whites consider the blacks to be inferior in social position, so the blacks are forced to work for the whites and they have to live at the margin of the society and face the problem of racial discrimination and oppression. All the social systems are built in order to meet the interests of the white people, so once the black people break them or mit an offence against the whites, they will be severely punished. As a black woman writer, Alice Walker has written at length on the issue of race and gender. She has a strong sense of racial injustice and pays much attention to the blacks’ unfair treatment in society. So in her works, she always depicts many black women characters that are brave enough to go against the racial oppression in black munity. As mentioned before, black women suffer from double oppression, not only the sexual oppression but also the racial oppression. Sofia in The Color Purple is such a kind of person. Sofia, another female character in The Color Purple, is brave, strong and independent. She is so brave that she can stand up to fight against the gender oppression in the black munity. She falls in love with Albert’s son, Harpo, but she has to ask for Albert’s permission of their marriage。 unfortunately, Albert not only rejects their request but also insults Sofia, however, to his surprise, Sofia rebuts him. Fighting for her marriage, Sofia finally gets married with the man she loves. She not only fights for her marriage but also fights with her beloved husband. Being affected by his father, Harpo always tries to and makes every effort to control his wife, Sofia. In order to maintain her own identity and dignity, Sofia has to fight against her husband. Refusing to be controlled by her husband, Sofia moves out with her children to live with her sisters. From what mentioned above, we can see that Sofia is indeed a brave and strong black woman, however, no matter how brave and strong she is, she still can’t escape from the racial oppression. After leaving Harpo, Sofia and her children are in the street one day, they encounter the white mayor and his wife, Millie, and when Millie notices that Sofia’s children are clean and tidy, she believes that Sofia has the ability to handle the chores. Then she asks Sofia to be her maid, to her surprise, Sofia says “Hello no” and even knocks down the mayor for selfdefense. In the whitedominating society, laws are established to protect the interests of the white people。 obviously, Sofia’s behavior breaks the law, so she is put into the jail. In the jail, she is nearly tortured to death both physically and mentally: she is beaten so violently that she loses her eye sight in one eye and she is also forced to do heavy laundry work in the pris。
