Janie

J A N I E

In Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God", Janie, a southern black woman, finds herself in several bad relationships before finding true love. Throughout the novel, being a dynamic character, Janie changes her ways in between each relationship. In Hurston's book, Janie grows from a wanderer to a martyr, before finally becoming a warrior.

Janie's life began when her grandmother raised her in west Florida twenty years after the civil war. Her conscious life began at age sixteen when sitting under a pear tree. At first, a reader could compare Janie to an orphan, but after being forced to marry Logan Killicks, she quickly becomes a wanderer. She moves with him to his sixty acres of land, and after discovering that she doesn't love Logan, she soon abandons her hope that she will grow to love him eventually. Rather than her deteriorating marriage, Janie desires "things sweet wid mah marriage lak when you sit under a pear tree and think".

Like a warrior, Janie's determination shows her willingness to mold or change another to suit her. After moving to the Everglades, Tea Cake finds a job and a place for them to live. She begins picking beans and joins the group almost like a warrior might join a team. While working in the field, Janie noticed a girl named Nunkie playing with Tea Cake. As expected of a warrior, she rids of the force by hitting Tea Cake and demanding an answer. When Mrs. Turner proposes she meet her brother, Tea Cake too exchanges a blow. Despite repeated warnings, her confidence leads her to believe that everything will prevail. However, when the storm gets bad enough they are forced to leave. In a frenzied escape, Janie's courage allows her to grab onto a cow despite the fact that it has a massive dog on its back. Seeing that Janie is threatened, Tea Cake jumps in. While attempting to
