In The Color Purple, how to Sophia and Celie switch roles?

• They don't

• Sophia becomes more aggressive and Celie becomes more obedient

• Celie becomes more aggressive and Sophia becomes more obedient

Answer explanation

Following Sophia's time in prison, we see Sophia become more quiet and reserved. She even says in order for her to survive she had to think like "Ms. Celie". Celie becomes enraged about Albert's letter hiding and comes to act more aggressively towards him for it, which is closer to Sophia's typical behavior.
