At this point in the novel, we're now switching between Sophie's story, in Albert's universe, and Hilde's story, in the real world (or so we are led to believe). We're now gaining more insight into Albert's character as well. When in Sophie's story, we view Albert as somewhat of a god. He is the creator of all things, and the ruler. He makes the rules, breaks the rules, basically, he does whatever he wants to Sophie's World.
In Hilde's story, we learn a little bit more about him. About how he wrote "Sophie's World" as a book for his daughter's birthday. He seems like, more of a normal person. When looking at Albert through Sophie's eyes, we view Albert as the antagonist of the story. An evil genius, if you will. In Hilde's story, Albert is a benevolent, "good-guy" character.
It's very interesting to see contrasts as we move between realites.
