Janie

Janie, as we all know, is the main character in Their Eyes Were Watching God. Throughout the story she finds different men to which she hopes to find true love with. However, despite all the love and what not, I feel like Janie is looking or will end up finding her true identity within the story. One aspect could be in a spiritual way. There did happen to be lots of allusion to God in the beginning of the story. Another aspect is just opinion. Before Janie meets Tea Cake we see her taking a stand against Jody, signifying she is starting to formulate a voice of her own. SPOILER ALERT! When Tea Cake dies, Janie is able to carry on just fine, despite the small guilt. This shows that she isn't dependent of Tea Cake like she was with Logan and Jody and she now can be the aggressor. 

     While Janie doesn't find true love, she does her experience with men who are handsome (to some extent) and younger than her. Talk about a cougar! She better give me her secret! Anywho, in the end I don't think Janie will find true love because she was raised on the wrong fundamentals of love, but i could be wrong. We'll see
