Celie's inner changes were accumulated over time. She suffered inhuman treatment and was brought back to a prison-like place like an animal. Everything she did was passive, and she had no sense of being alive. Forbearance was the only way to survive. Imagine that in such a time and space, there is no motivation for her to break through. It is her sister, Xiuge, and Sophia who are quietly changing her. Looking at those symbolic things, the kitchen full of words, the golden red dress, etc., her self-consciousness is gradually awakened, and she is becoming stronger and stronger. Albert's external strength is used to reflect Celie's transformation. He endowed Celie with mental and physical destruction, which made her eventually become strong and independent. Hide other people's letters to show your inner weakness, or your humility in front of Xiuge. The rudeness of behavior and the extravagant desire to control others could not stop the pattern of drastic changes. Celie resisted. She bravely confronted Albert at the dinner table. Even if she was ridiculed, she would raise the knife. Call back Sophia. It was the woman brought back by the rough Albert who moved her nerves. She also flinched, but eventually became her savior. Not only that, she made women wear pants. What a great thing.
Regarding Sophia, there is a detail that Celie helps Harbo to "bit her". Is it the inertia of the weak, or jealousy, or the law of patriarchy that she instinctively agrees with?
In any case, the sun shines in after life has been tossed and turned, and a little contrived and scattered plot does not affect the excitement, after all, it is a work from 1985.
