In fact, it is even asserted that she is unhappy with her current state in the controlling relationship by describing "a shadow of herself" tending the store. ]]> 2022-03-23 14:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109849061 23janpathompong2 https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109855492 Later in Janie's relationship with Joe, she is emotionally abused by him because of his views of women.

Her days became more strict and mundane. Janie starts to develop two different personalities: " The shadow of herself going about tending store... while all the time she herself sat under a shady tree" (76). Janie starts to become more aware of how she is trapped in this tyrannical marriage. She starts to zone out and think of her freedom and happiness which is left under the tree. ]]> 2022-03-23 14:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109860892 https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109860927 Jody and Janie settle into an uncomfortable routine. One day, Janie understands this life is no longer hers, as  “she sat and watched the shadow of herself going about tending store and prostrating itself before Jody, while all the time she herself sat under a shady tree…This was the first time it happened, but after a while it got so common she ceased to be surprised.” (77) As her life with Jody continues, Janie realizes she is living a monotone life, one that no longer feels like her. She "watched the shadow of herself", showing a disjunction between her mind and body. While her mind has virtually tapped out of this situation, her body continues, running the store day after day. This is her form of release from her life with Jody.

Her day had become so repetitive that "one day she sat and watched the shadow of herself going about tending store and prostrating itself before Jody, while all the time she herself sat under a shady tree…This was the first time it happened, but after a while it got so common she ceased to be surprised” (77). Janie's marriage with Starks has evidently taken a massive toll on her day to day life as well as how she expresses her feelings. This is illustrated by the motif of masking emotions that Janie keeps needing to do. It has gotten to the point where she completely masks herself day after day in order for Joe's comments and commands not to hurt her. ]]> 2022-03-23 14:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109861000 https://padlet.com/jday28/4s97pnmak83aatq0/wish/2109861007 Janie is realizing how her relationship with Joe is changing and how her life is not turning out they way that she wanted it to.

To separate her life and the life that she is living Janie thinks about sitting under a "shady tree". This shady tree is the place that she feels the most calm and where she wants to be.

The excerpt depicts the amount of experience Janie has compared to the beginning of the novel.

One day, as Janie "watched the shadow of herself going about tending store and prostrating itself before Jody... she herself sat under a shady tree.” (77) Even though Jody is able to control her physical being, Janie's mind is resilient and wanders off to a place she would rather be.
