Eyes were Watching God 2

As the plot begins to unravel, it is clear to me of how Janie became such a strong women. She could articulate great speeches, but seldom gives them because of her status of a women and how Joe treats her as a women. After seven years she sees Joe who he really is and, "she was saving up feelings for some man she had never seen" (72). But she continues to bear the burden of being Joe's wife. Even though Janie is the wife of the mayor of the most developed black town, it appears she is still imprisoned and is still required to do slave work. She enjoys watching conversations on the store porch, yet she seldom says anything, and is forced to sell something in the store constantly. The one time she does enter the conversation Joe scolds her, "You gettin' too moufy, Janie" (75). I wouldn't be surprise if she becomes a "runaway" and flee her husband. The journey she takes will build her into a stronger women, until she becomes the women that was seen in the begining (16 years in the future).
