Crossing Return Threshold
Celie in The Color Purple movie and book goes through a lot of trails. She goes through the monomythic stages of a hero’s journey. The one we focus on today will her crossing the last threshold.
She crosses her last threshold when she inherited money from her father and received the house. At first she didn’t know how to handle her life without Shug and Mr. Albert. After awhile she was able to handle living in her house and able to run her own store. And she was able to finally live with her children in peace and become with Mr. Albert.
Crossing her last threshold in a monomythic hero’s journey means something that separate the old and new world her dads house but with less problems. A poem that reflects this movie or book would be Dreams by Langston Hughes.
