Celie's Metamorphosis in The Color PurpleFor people to be equal, they need a chance to become equal by discovering themselves. As we age through childhood, we depend on our environment, parents, and peers to create our self-image. Within our environment, we are always trying to develop new knowledge in order to identify, clarify, connect and account for our beliefs. Even the underlying cause of dysfunctional relationships lies in crucial events in our life experience. The environment in which one grows and develops will have a great influence on the individual. Most people who succeed in life come from stable families, in well-positioned environments. While those who are unlucky often don't have the opportunity to reach the top or even have the chance to discover themselves. Self-discovery is important because it aims to increase an individual's self-awareness and help them identify their own beliefs, skills, potentials and talents. But when an individual is forced or destined to grow up in an atmosphere in which there is no stable and strong family or environment, it will generally be difficult for him to discover himself and succeed in life. These types of individuals who grow up in these circumstances mainly suffer from depression, sadness, and most importantly, low self-esteem. They suffer from low self-esteem because they grew up in undemanding environments. Their personalities are excessively sensitive to social rejection, humiliation and shame. One of the greatest literary examples of this is Celie, the main character in the book The Color Purple by Alice Walker.
