In the novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker, the main protagonist Celie was often pretty specific when describing the events and characters in certain scenes. In the book she was writing to god which coincides with the movie as well, but their were scenes and attributes that contradicted the book. Such as Shugs skin tone. In the book she was described as extremely black but in the movie she was portrayed by a brown skinned woman. Another difference was in the book Celie writes back to Nettie which was not the case in the movie. Also Celie simply believes in God in the movie and does not address her letters to God as done in the book. And lastly another difference was a lot of the male characters were soften to not seem as abrasive such as mister and Celie’s father. Some similarities were the relations between Shug and Celie, and Sofia’s strong character were both well represented in the movie as well as the book.
