Form and Structure in The Color Purple

A short PowerPoint (9 slides) explaining the epistolary form and the structure of the novel. The resource considers the way the letters start and end, as well some of the novel’s motifs and symbols. Works as a lesson and includes an independent task at the end, suitable for remote learning.

Created with AQA English Literature A Level in mind, bu there are no specific references to Assessment Objectives or exam boards, so easy to tailor to your own needs.
