Question

In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Logan and Jody are foils to Janie because _____. Select all that apply.

Answer 1

C) they provide help in her quest for fulfillment

Answer 2

The correct answers are B and D.

Both of Janie's husbands, Logan and Jody, had ideals that went against hers. Logan only thought about work and wealth, and Jody only cared for his social status.

They also gained fulfillment by forcing dominance over others, specially over Janie. Logan wanted to submit her by forcing her to perform labor work along with him. Jody treats her as ornament to his wealth and power, and tries to shape her into his vision of what a mayor’s wife should be.
