The main difference between Nel’s relationship with her mother and Sula’s interaction with her mother is that Helene( Nel's mother) raises her with fear and controls her while Sula grows up without a motherly figure,

<h3>What happened in the book?</h3>

This refers to the family background of both Nel and Sula and how they lack a proper motherly influence and how they both grew up.

Hence, we can see that Nel's great-grandmother was a prostitute and because of this, Nel's mother (Helene) tries to hide her background and raises her with fear, and tries to control her life.

Furthermore, Sula and Nel become friends from childhood up until adulthood and it grows and blossoms as they are both complementary to each other in a sisterly fashion.
