Park, Jai Young. “Rape in The Bluest Eye, The Color Purple, and Push: A Reflection of American Reality.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 37.2 (2011): 61-79. This paper examines three representative novels of and by African American women--The Bluest Eye, The Color Purple, and Push--that choose rape as the subject, and lights on the evolvement and metamorphosis in the literary expressions, the approaches to the subject, and the perspectives of America. The Bluest Eye seems most despondent and pessimistic as Pecola ends up stepping into madness in the end, while the other two are more positive and progressive. The Color Purple reaches the climax of optimism as Celie relocates herself from a victim of her stepfather’s incestuous rape and her husband’s abuse to an individual of pride and autonomy. But the last novel Push reaffirms the reality of racial discrimination and injustice in America. Even though Precious moves away from the abusive parents, she still is infected with HIV and has to carry on with one child of disability and another child. This paper substantiates how Sapphire figuratively delineates the complexity and conflict of America with Precious’ life. Also, it scrutinizes the behaviors of the protagonists and other characters and explicates different descriptions of rape and their significance in the three novels. (Chonbuk National University)
