Compare and contrast Aibileen and Minny's relationship with Skeeter and Hilly's relationship.
Abileen and Minny's relationship is genuinely loving and caring. Whereas on the surface of Skeeter and Hilly's relationship appears to to be the same howener it's not. All of Hilly's actions are motivated to make herself look good. Opposed to her doing something selfless like risking her job for the sake of a friend, she'd rather talk about people, spread rumors about people or boss her "friends" around. Anytime someone has an idea or an opnion Hilly dosen't like she shoots them down or down plays their oponion.
Abilene and Minny are the opposite. There isin't one thing one wouldn't do for the other. When Minny lost her job Abileen risked her own by lying to Celia Foote (which at that time would be considered a cardinal sin: to lie to a white woman) on behalf on Elizabeth Lefolt.
