Radio Drama Analysis - The Color Purple

"The Color Purple" is a radio drama created by Alice Walker, about a girl named Celie. Celie is an uneducated black girl who was born into poverty and segregation. Set in the deep south of America.
After listening to this radio drama, I believe that the target audience is middle aged women.

Characters and represented through the way in which they speak. The tone and pitch of characters voice really helps you understand the characters personality. For example, Celie speaks nervously at times and never sounds confident in the language she uses. Whereas her husband is represented as a strong, aggressive, male figure. Certain characters represent typical stereo types, e.g. aggressive husband and vulnerable woman.

Throughout the radio drama we hear background music in intervals of scenes. This helps us to imagine the location (Southern United States)
