Pg. 49. “Ah often wonder how dat lil wife uh hisn makes out wid him, ‘cause he’s uh man dat changes everything, but nothin’ don’t change him.”
People through their own experiences with Joe are starting to learn the person that he is. By acknowledging his faults, they start to wonder how hard Janie has it- the person who has to live with him. The quote is a foreshadow to Joe – no one can change him, and the power he continues to gain is going to be his downfall.
Yes - "No one can change him" but can someone change the way the town thinks? It is a foreshadow - good!
