Character

So far in my novel "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker I have read 84 pages. The character Mr.___ or also now revealed as Albert is shown has an evil man both directly and indirectly throughout the novel. Mr.___ is one the most important characters in the novel. He's Celies "husband,"but more like a master to her. Indirectly characterization is shown when Celie hears Mr.__ muttering, "My wife can't do this. My wife can't do that. No wife of mines..."(Walker72). Here, Mr.___ did not want Celie to go out with them to the jukejoint because he says wives don't belong there. It shows how controlling he is and isn't a husband. He treats her like a child and likes things his way. A second example of indirect characterization is when Celie says, "I don't like it all. What is it like? He git up on you, hesit your nightgown down round your waist, plunge in. Most times I pretend I ain't there. He never know the difference. Never ast me how I feel, nothing. Just do his business, get off, go to sleep"(Walker77). This shows how Mr.__ is a dominant pig and only cares about himself. He is an extremely selfish person. Ceclie is explaining how she doesn't enjoy sex with Mr.___, he's concerned about himself in the moment. All he's worried about is making sure he's pleasured and is basically sexually assaulting Celie. Direct characterization is used as well. For example, "He never had a kine word to say to me"(Walker1). After this line Celie goes onto say, how he just makes her do what her "mammy wouldn't" and than proceed to have forceful sex with her. It shows the man he is. She is a fourteen year old girl, he says nothing nice to her, but knows how to have sex with her. He is a pig and it proves how he is an evil man. Taking advantage of young girl and he isn't the slightest bit nice to her, he's an egotistical man. If he is taken care, it is evident he doesn't care about anyone else's feelings. Not only, does he know how to have sex with Celie and treat her like a dog, he gets her pregnant and he doesn't act like a father to the baby. Celie says, "He took it. He took it while I was sleeping. Kilt it out there in the woods. Kill this one too, if he can"(Walker2). Mr.___ is a monster. He has sex to please himself with such a young girl, and the babies she than births he kills. That is terrible and truly against the morals of religion and down South they are very devote to their faith. He should be in jail and is an abusive predator, but most importantly a murder. If he feels he has the right to have sex with Celie, she should be able to keep her children. I believe Mr.___ is a repulsive man and his abusive tendencies and controlling ways is disgusting and I feel for Celie because she is such a young girl and does everything she is told. She is his "wife," but is treated like a slave. There is nothing I like about him at all. He's a terrible person and I think everything he does is so wrong and he deserves to be murdered or in jail. He's a viscous person. I hope to see a turn around in his personality because overall reading some the things Celie says, makes me sick to my stomach.
