It made her so glad she was scared of herself." (Hurston 117)

Quote: "He was jumping her king! She screamed in protest against losing this king she had such a hard time acquiring. Before she had knew it she had grabbed his to stop him. He struggled gallantly to free himself. That is he struggle, but not hard enough to wrench a ladys finger." (Hurston 96)

Analysis: This quote shows how desperate Janie is to find a new man and to find the new perfect man. She wants to find the perfect man so she does not have to go through what happened last time when she found a man. I feel like she is really looking for her king so she can settle down an start the perfect family in her town and in her home with her new perfect man.

Quote: "So the very next morning Janie got ready to pick beans along with Tea Cake" (Hurston 133).

Analysis: This quote shows the antithesis of her relationship with Tea Cake to her relationship with Joe. When Joe told her to work, she was unhappy and hated it. The store even ended up being a very negative part of Janie's life after Joe died. Janie, however, chose to work with Tea Cake by her own will instead of letting herself be forced into it just to please her spouse. This shows how Janie had found a relationship where she was happy again and would be willing to help Tea Cake in whatever way she can.

Quote: " Janie's train left too early in the day for the town to witness much, but the few who saw her leave bore plenty witness. They had to give it to her, she sho looked good, but she had no business to do it. It was hard to love a woman that always made you feel so wishful." ( Hurston 116)

Analysis:This quote illustrates the complete trust Janie had for Tea Cake. She did not feel hesitation when she decided to leave on a train for Jacksonville because she trusted that Tea Cake would be there for her and would not abandon her. The town saw her leave and some men felt jealous of such a beautiful woman leaving but were unable to try to get her to stay. Especially since the town did not know Joe's treatment of Janie, they could only watch as she left.
