In this passage Jody is the speaker and he says that women are dumb and belong in the house and not in the business of men. Janie wants to burst but she can't, she wants to tell him how she truly feels about all he has done to her." Janie made her face laugh after a short pause, but it wasn't too easy." The tone of the excerpt is bitter and detached. Janie had no intention of making a speech but she would have liked if Jody let her speak for herself. She asks herself if it was the way Jody spoke out without giving her a chance to say anything that took the "bloom off of things." Bloom in this context is a motif because on page 25 bloom is mentioned "So Janie waited a bloom time, and a green time, and an orange time." (bloom=Spring) The theme of this is that women back then had no voice and always did as they were told.

Very good theme, it portrays how women are treated in this society and time period.
ReplyDeleteIt made a lot of sense and I agree with you about how Joe treats her and abuses her and how she should speak up more.
