I have already talked about each character a little bit so far in my posts. Aibileen is the main character. She is super nice and a good worker. She also loves the children she takes care of. As i said before Aibileen's character was based off of a maid that the author had and adored. Aibileen is obviously a good person and her love for children shows through the book.

Mae Mobley is the little kid that Aibileen cares for. Recently, Aibileen has potty trained her. But not on the "white toilet". On Aibileen's toilet that was installed in the backyard by Mrs.Leefolt who Aibileen works for. This is a problem for Mrs.Leefolt, she doesn't want her daughter "to catch diseases" in a "gross" bathroom. Mrs.Leefolt gets furious with Aibileen and Mae Mobley. And while Mae is upset, Aibileen comforts her by saying on pg 111,"You a smart girl. You a good girl."
I think this quote is very important. In the time this book takes place, the maids pretty much raise the children and are their mother figure. I also think this says a lot in the relationships between all characters in the book.
