Janie

Janie Crawford

If there are three words that definitely define Janie, they are lovesick, impulsive, and self-evolved.

If nothing else, Janie is lovesick. Her life goal is to find the perfect husband and to experience true love. The whole story so far is about her dealing with her horrible choices of husbands. 

So far throughout the past twelve chapters of "Their Eyes Were Watching God", Janie has been very impulsive when it came to her making huge decisions. For example, she left Logan and married Joe within two months of meeting him.

Janie is self-evolved as she finds herself throughout the book. Her definition of the perfect husband actually evolves. Before she got married for the first time, she could only set her guidelines based off of what her grandmother suggested. First, all she wants is someone who's just rich and can support her. Second, it's someone who's attractive, ambitious, and who won't overwork her with strenuous labor. Also, I kind of feel like she was just looking for anyone to take her away from Logan. After her horrible experience with Joe, she wants someone who believes in the equality of women (such as Vergible Woods, better known as "Tea Cake").
