Abstract: This article focuses on the theme of alienation in the novel Color Purple by Alice Walker. The main protagonist of the novel is Celie. Celie has been alienated from her family, husband, step children, society and also from herself. It is understandable of the colored people’s situation in a white dominated society. Celie was not only ostracized in the society because of her race but because of her gender and physical appearances. The trauma that she had to undergone from her childhood causes her to change radically. Though she is alienated from everyone and did not receive love until she met with Shrug Avery, she never did lose her real self and at the end she finds her true self.
