  • Setting Analysis
  • It was early in the afternoon when they got there, so Joe said they must walk over the place and look around. They locked arms and strolled from end to end of thetown. Joe noted the scant dozen of shame-faced houses scattered in the sand and palmetto roots and said,
  • Theme
  • “Dat’s what makes me skeered. You don’t mean no harm. You don’t even know where harm is at. Ah’m ole now. Ah can’t be always guidin’ yo’ feet from harm anddanger. Ah wants to see you married right away.”
  • “Who Ah’m goin’ tuh marry off-hand lak dat? Ah don’t know nobody.”
  • Janie is the main character and we're forced to follow her as the readers. She has the most impact of the story just because the story is based around her. Joe Starks was the mayor of Eatonville and second wife of Janie. He pulled her away from her first wife, Logan Killicks. He put many of the middle events of the story into motion.#160;
  • Conflict
  • Most of Janie's life is spent in Eatonville, where she ran away too with Joe Starks. Joe became mayor of the town and Janie was renowned as the beautiful wife of the mayor. Although she was happy at first when she ran away with Joe, over the years Janie slowly realizes the broken truth of their marriage.#160;
  • POV
  • Nanny forced Janie to marry Logan Killicks when she was 16 as a way to protect her after Nanny eventually passes away. She also wants to make sure that Janie doesn't get raped like how she herself and Janie's mom was. Janie objects to this as she didn't consider Killicks attractive at all.#160;
  • Language/Dialect
  • Janie contemplates about leaving Killicks for Joe. One night, Janie asks Killicks what would happen if she were to leave him for another man in the future. Killicks doesn't answer and instead tells Janie a good night.#160;
  • “S’posin’ Ah wuz to run off and leave yuh sometime.”
  • The perspective shifts between 1st and 3rd person, usually as a way to show Janie's full perspective or to describe something to the reader that Janie wouldn't have knowledge of. The perspective shifts can be jarring and could lose the reader easily, but they could also be fairly unnoticeable.
  • She did not reach outside for anything, nor did the things of death reach inside to disturb her calm. She sent her face to Joe’s funeral, and herself went rollickingwith the springtime across the world. After a while the people finished their celebration and Janie went on home.
  • The dialect in the book is mostly unfamiliar and eccentric compared against to what many readers are used to reading. It also doesn't help that many of the characters don't have a sense of grammar when they speak as well, making it harder to understand what the characters are saying. It does give the reader a sense of authenticity and how African Americans spoke in South back then (and maybe even now).
  • Sometimes God gits familiar wid us womenfolks too and talks His inside business. He told me...how surprised y'all is goin' tuh be if you ever find out you don't know half as much 'bout us as you think you do. It's so easy to make yo'self out God Almighty when you ain't got nothin' tuh strain against but women and chickens.
