Death Has Struck

Their Eyes Were Watching God
p.76-93

In these pages, we find out that Joe is around 50 and is physically aging fast. He always talks about how Janie is getting old and one day she gets mad and embarrasses him in his store. Then, after a while, Joe resorts to staying in his bed because of his weakness. Janie notices how close death is and goes in to talk with him about who she is and how she felt about their marriage. After she was done, Joe dies. Janie now manages the store still and she now has many men trying to get with her. She likes the aspect of being single though so she doesn't make a move. She talks to her friend, Pheoby, about all of her problems (one was that people believed that she was going to hurt her husband). That is pretty much all they have talked about in these pages. I do not get what was said during Janie's and Joe's little argument in the store. I think I have an idea but I am not quite sure. I just can imagine that it would be terrible to die mad at somebody, especially your spouse.
This burnt out wick resembles the death of Joe. The flame was his life but now it is all gone.













This represents Janie's and Joe's little argument in the store about how he is always pointing out her flaws.
