The theme of feminism runs through the novel and the movie.  I would
like to compare this with similar themes in The Color Purple
(Ceelie's emerging self-esteem v. Evelyn's), in addition to Idgie's
devotion to Ruth and Ceely's to Shug Avery and the implied lesbian
love.  Also the theme of aging and dying...Ninny Threadgoode's view
of life vs. Evelyn's.  Any thoughts or comments, or suggestions for
other themes?
