its publication in 1982 it has caught attention of critics and researchers.
It’s the story of a girl, Celie, physically and emotionally isolated,
victim, quiet and submissive in the beginning of the novel but she later
develops into a strong bold character. So this study works under the
subject, “From “being” to “becoming” and The Roles of Behaviors: A
Psychoanalytic Study of Alice Walker’s The Color Purple.” Walker’s
own life is a turn from a self-conscious thought “For a long time, I
thought I was very ugly and disfigured” (Walker 2015) to an active
social worker, teacher and mighty writer.
The study aims at recognizing the psychological motivations by
specially focusing on patterns of behaviors, constructive and
destructive, that play major roles in Celie’s journey from her dead,
passive existence into her living bold, identified, and financially,
spiritually and emotionally independent life. In order to carry this out
the qualitative method of textual analysis is conducted with related
theoretical framework of Psychoanalytic Criticism. The study
investigates the primary text in terms of Sigmund Freud’s (1856-1939)
concepts of psychology that behavior is determined by unconscious core issues. They work behind one’s acts and that the behaviors play
unavoidable part in building one’s true self-image (Tyson 2006, 14-15).
Besides, the study seeks to draw attention with its findings, on the
basis of textual analysis, to the fact that Celie’s mind and her journey is
in all way an output of behaviors, to the fact that they unquestionably
shape our spirit; and for such study Psychoanalytic Criticism befits
more intensely. For psychology has got the immediate and sufficient
goal of knowing individuals and groups by each researching specific
cases and forming general principles and for most it eventually aims to
help society through its findings (Types of behaviors 2014).

It discusses whether the Muslim women in the novel have been portrayed as active social and political agents who played an important role in Andalusia's rich and dynamic culture of learning and innovation or they have been depicted in traditional stereotyped gendered roles as passive, submissive agents who were confined to the domestic life. The related theoretical concepts of feminist Orientalism and post-colonial feminism have also been discussed that provide a theoretical background to the study. The text has been analysed in detail for the author's treatment and portrayal of the female characters in the novel.
