This is shown through how Jefferson and its people ignore Emily’s mental problems; how she is indoctrinated to think she needs a man in her life; and by the way that the people of Jefferson allow her to get away with several incidents without paying the consequences. These issues are all driven by the culture Jefferson that stems from the time period and influences of Southern culture. One aspect of Jefferson that helps turn Emily into a reclusive murderer is how everyone seems to ignore Emily’s mental health issues. Everyone babies and pities Emily from the time that she is born to the time that she dies and this meant that her mental problems were never fully recognized. One example is of how she denied her father’s death and would not let go of his corpse for three days after he died: “The day after his death, all the ladies prepared to call at the house and offer condolence and aid, as is our custom.
She participated in an act of violence with her boyfriend and did not talk to the police so they gave her ten years and he talked and received three years.

Celie has suffered repeated rapes and brutal beatings by the man she believes to be her father, who tells her, in the novel’s opening line, “You better not never tell nobody but God.” After becoming pregnant by him twice, she is terrified that he has now set his sights on her younger sister, Nettie. Celie’s initial thoughts are shared with us in the form of her letters to God, written in a voice that uses raw realism—the only language she knows—to convey the facts of her life. It is this authenticity that sets The Color Purple apart; critics who feel offended by Celie’s voice miss the fact that her candor is itself an aspect of her stolen innocence. These opening scenes reveal the dangers of secrecy and misinformation as the heroine pines for one thing: an education. Her tragic home life prevents her from fulfilling that dream.
