"Mr. _____ mean sometimes, but he not that mean (pg. 119)."
How could Celie not believe that Albert has kept her letters from her sister after all these years? He reluctantly took her as his wife, and made her suffer through years worth of abuse and degradation. Even through witnessing and hearing about all of Sophia's actions (her brawls with Harpo and the encounter with the Mayor and his wife), she could not stand up for herself. Hopefully she will be able to turn the tables on Albert soon.

I think this shows something about Celie, about how sweet and kind and innocent she remains throughout the book. Even Shug says it when she says that Celie is technically a virgin. Celie can't seem to understand the concept of fighting back, even when both Nettie and Sophia tell her to.
