Me too, the further I get into the book the more I can see how different is from his father. Which brings me to another point. Harpo begins to eat prefously when he's at home and then goes to Celie's house and eats more. One night Celie found him on the porch crying, complaining how Sofia, his wife, won't obey him and how she has the upperhand in the relationship and he doesn't. Which brings me to a point of how men, to this day, are so intimdated by the fact that in some cases, women are stonger than them, and are capeable of dealing with more than them. That of course, upsets them because in society men are supposed to be the ones who provide for their families and are looked up to, and the women are supposed to stay at home, cooking and cleaning and doing all of this with a great big smile on their faces; a very "Leave it to Beaver" scenario. But today, that's not how the story goes at all. Today in most cases, the men stay at home and the women go to work. And people aren't happy with that. It makes me wonder what the point of fighting for equal rights for women was..
