In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her. Their relationship slowly shifts from fear and dominance to honesty and distance. Write about a relationship in your life that changed over time as you grew older or more aware.

 As The story progresses we see more of "Mr's" true personality. He would always have complete control over everyone around him but he now begins to show a more vulnerable side to himself. As shug becomes more important in the story he begans to go from a Masculine complete man, to now a more sensitive one.
