Climax: While in jail, Sofia's spirit get's broken to the point where she's at their every command and she tells Celie that she's weak like her now.
Solution: When Celie has her outburst at the table before leaving with Shug, Sofia gains some respect for her.

"Every time they ast me to do something, Miss Celie, I act like you. I jump right up and do just what they say (88)."Sofia and Celie's relationship plays and important role in the bigger picture: Celie's growth. Sofia made a positive impact on Celie right from the start, opening Celie's eyes to the existence of strong, independent women. Even though Celie never really made any sort of impact on Sofia, her standing up to Albert while they were all eating gave Sofia some of her old spirit back. Inevitably, Celie's change caused a change in her relationship with Albert too. As Celie continued to gain confidence, she stood up for herself more, she stood up to Albert more and practically forced him to accept that he can't control everything in a relationship.
