Pg. 50 “De way he rears and pitches in de store sometimes when she make uh mistake is sort of ungodly, but she don’t seem to mind at all. Reckon dey understand one ‘nother.”

  He always has to criticize her even when she makes the smallest mistakes. Janie understands Joe’s aspirations, but he doesn’t understand Janie or her feelings at all. It’s not that she doesn’t mind him yelling at her, it’s just that she’d rather accept it to not start anything more. She’s a woman, and she’s staying in her place.
