Character Analysis: My New Favorite Character Janie

My New Favorite Character Janie is a strong woman. It took her guts to get through leaving her first husband for a stranger, and then somewhat changing her life. However, it was unnecessary for her to leave Logan Killicks the way she did. There could have been a less harsh way, instead of “I am leaving you for a man I barely met.” Eventually Joe had the same opportunity to put a ring on her finger. Then once again, she was treated like a “dog”. She soon fell for the same old tricks again, but with a youngster this time. Honestly, her getting married three times wasn’t necessary. Especially since they all treated her the same. Tea Cake may have

First of all, never met her parents. She spent her first years of life with her grandmother. Before Nanny passed away, she sent Janie off to marry Logan Killicks (wealthy and secure environment) instead of the boy Johnny who she kissed (unsafe environment). Janie married a man who treated her like he’s the boss, and she’s the desperate worker. In all reality, Janie wanted to find herself so she took a big step to her new life by leaving her husband for a city slicker named Joe. He claimed to treat her better, but after the wedding bells rang, he treated her like dirt. He was too protective of his pride and didn’t want any other man looking at or having his wife. He forced her to work the store, to hide her hair, to be obedient, and he even furiously lashed at her. After Joe realized he was old, he attempted to put Janie down mentally so she wouldn’t realize his appearance. The attempt failed and Janie lashed at him after she had enough. Soon Joe passed away, and then of course, Janie remarried to a youngster after feeling old and ugly from Joe. Tea Cake treated Janie fairly better than the other two, but he did steal her money and leave her for a while. After coming back, the two moved to a new town and soon began another journey but together. Janie had been through jealousy of a girl trying to steal Tea Cake, he’s got her to work, she even ran from a flood and had to leave a friend behind, and she

He foolishly stole Janie’s $200 and didn’t even invite her to the party, but he also learned not to do that again. He had fun with Janie and he was always a mystery and adventure. He hit her for his pride, just as the other husbands did, but she was okay with it because he was younger and she was older. Also, Tea Cake has given her the opportunity to find her self through their journey together. She took the hit for his pride because she knew that men in that time period did that as if it were a tradition. Janie was still strong even after he hit her for his pride. She stayed strong because she did it for him and he did it for them. He treats her more equally than the other man did. He saw her as a peer and not as a traditional housewife. He treated her more fair than the other men, so I would say yes he different from the past two husbands. Men believe they need to be the boss for their pride, but in all reality, women can be just as strong as men. The way the world worked before has affected society today. Although women can be the boss and the provider in this period, many men still find that they’re better than women in all ways. Something about women being better than men puts their pride down and shatters it. It’s not women that destroy their pride, it’s their jealousy and sense of being sexist is what destroys their pride. They base
