TEWWG Chapter 10-12

In these chapters, Janie starts her relationship with Tea Cakes. Janie has been married twice and didn't love either of the men. With Tea Cakes it's different, though. Even when she first met him in the store she loved him. Tea Cakes wasn't controling or neglectful, he appears to be perfect. Nanny's idea of love is all about security, not love. Nanny would much rather Janie be with someone who can pay for her to have nice things rather then for Janie to be happy with this person. Janie on the other hand is sick of being unhappy with her husband...I think Janie sees Tea Cakes as someone she actually loves, not just a husband. Although Tea Cakes isn't as wealthy as Jody, he still gives her emotional stability which she needs more then anything at this point.
