Janie and Joe, Roderick Brown
She left Logan to go with Joe to find a new and better life, because she longed for love.
-
Janie is only doing what Joe has told her, "Janie dipped up the lemonade like he told her." (Hurston, 41)
-
-
-
He was a wealthy man, "but he bought her the best of things the butcher had like apples and a glass lantern full of candies." (Hurston, 34
-
-
Their relationships symbolizes like a cage. Because Janie is trapped and stuck with out having much to say in the relationship and just doing what Joe says, while he only acknowledge her when someone brings her up.
-
Joe married Janie because he thinks that her place is being a house wife, "She's uh woman and her place is in de home." (Hurston, 43)
The other men in the town compliments Janie, in which Joe says she doesn't know anything about making speeches, and he didn't marry her for talking, "Thank yuh fuh yo' compliments, but mah wife don't know nothin' 'bout no speech-makin'. Ah never married her for nothin' lak dat." (Hurston, 43)
-
Janie later found out this isn't the type of relationship she wanted to have, she wanted love and a new beginning and thought she'd get it with Joe, but she was wrong.
-
Janie is sad because he doesn't listen and is always gone. Joe claims that he started from the beginning to aim at the "big voice", "Ah told you in de very first beginnin' dat Ah aimed tuh be uh big voice. You oughta be glad, 'cause dat makes uh big woman outta you." (Hurston, 46)
Janie felt a chill after that, of lonelyness
