I think that the author is trying to make subtle clues about Celie really being the child’s mother. Celie seemed very interested in the child, so I think that she would want a relationship with her if she could. I think that Celie would be happier if she got to be a mother to her own child. When I saw all those clues about her child, I got so excited because I felt like there was about to be a family reunion
