Their Eyes Were Watching God- In the End

Their Eyes Were Watching God came to a sad end, and one that you would never really expect. Janie's last marriage, her third one, with Tea Cake came to an end, because Tea Cake passed away. Janie actually was the one that killed Tea Cake, too. Janie really only killed him out of self defense, because Tea Cake had a gun on her too and might have killed her too. Janie was very upset about all of this, and did not know what she was going to do. She was put on trial that same day, but they proved her not guilty after she got to give a long testimony about her love for Tea Cake, and how she only did it to protect herself. Janie was still living in the Everglades, and she did not really like it. She could not stop thinking about Tea Cake, because everything reminded her of him. She knew she was going to have to get out of there, because she could not handle the thought of him much longer. He was the love of her life, and you could tell she loved him very much, but the way he was before he died scrared her. Janie ended up going back to Eatonville, where she lived when she was married to Joe Starks. When she returned, people would talk about her and wonder where she had been and what had happened to her husband Tea Cake. Janie did not really care what they had to say though, and her good old friend Pheoby Watson stuck up for her when everyone was talking. Pheoby and Janie had not seen each other in awhile, but they sat down together and talked. Pheoby told her what had happened while she was gone, and Janie told Pheoby what had happened while she was gone. They were friends again already. I really enjoyed reading Their Eyes Were Watching God, and I think it had a lot of meaning behind it, and also had a lot in it that we could learn from.
