Janie has many husbands in Their Eyes Were Watching God. She has three throughout the entire book. She leaves the first two and ends up killing her third husband. The reason is not because she is an unfaithful person. She had good reasons to leave her husbands.
Her first husband was Logan. Logan was a farmer who Janie had to marry because her grandmother wanted her too. Janie did not marry Logan because of love but because of financial reasons. Since their was no love the relationship fell apart and Janie ran off with another man. This man’s name was Jody.
Jody became Janie’s second husband. He was the mayor of Eatonville. The two of them lived happily at first but then he got abusive. After this Janie could not deal with him anymore and decided to run off with another man she truly loved.
Tea Cake was her third husband. Janie and Tea Cake truly loved each other. Janie was finally going to settle down with a man but Tea Cake got rabies. After he got this he went crazy. Tea Cake would beat her and finally one day we attacked her but Janie shot hium in defense.
In conclusion, Janie had good reasons to leave her husbands. She left Logan because they did not love each other from the start. She left Jody because he was never really cared for Janie. Finally, she killed Tea Cake in self defense.
