This radio drama centred around a young black woman, born into poverty and segregation - the struggle of uneducated black girl Celie in America's Deep South. The episode was heavily revolving around the idea of inequality of two main races: the white and black populations in America. The female characters are all young, yet intellectual black women, which goes against the stereotype of the ''white man'' in the drama. The male characters are all middle aged black men and they share the stereotype of violence and unintelligence, though they too are very intelligent. To begin, the young girl Celie is being abused by her harsh father, who takes his anger out on her as there is no one else for him to take it out on. Every character here has a stereotypical Southern American accent, with the black characters dialect being stereotypically representative of the black communities. Their expressions and phatic conversations reflect a sociolect of well educated people. Religion also played a large part in this drama.
