Question

What is an aspect of Tea Cake that is more fitting for Janie as a romantic partner?

Answer 1

'Their Eyes were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston is a story of a black girl named Janie and her lifetime experiences in realistic situations that are always prone to reflect problems for each one of us.

Explanation:

Hurston starts off the story with a description of how Janie lived with her grandmother until late teens and her ideas, personality and choices are very much based on this essence in her life. Janie being pointed out as a black in a photograph that she clicked with a group of white children makes her feel insecure, less confident and crucial with herself in her twenties.

In relationships, Janie starts to take decisions in a completely unconscious and emotional driven manner leading to sadness and grief later.

After Logan and Jody, Janie married Tea Cake despite knowing his unreasonable, unnecessary acts and habits. His selfishness, jealousy are all accepted by Janie though she suffers because of the same. Later in the story, his sacrifice to save her and dying in front of her, tells readers the main reason for us to understand that he is the right choice that Janie made better than Logan and Jody.
