Chapter 8

Question

Their Eyes Were Watching God

Chapter 8

Janie has already embarrassed and humiliated Jody publicly (and what did you infer from that?), so why does she say she doesn’t want to hurt him? What can you infer from this new turn?

Janie has had it with Joe's abusive behavior. She talks back to him to feel just a little self-respect. This changes the dynamic as Joe loses his sense of power and own masculinity.

What does Janie do in the final paragraph of the chapter, before she goes out to talk to the town about Jody's death?
