The essay of the book

The kind of god Hurston’s character are watching is the god of love whom they have an unstable relationship with; Janie’s husband have doubts about god because at the end is bad. And Janie is the god of love because she wants to love to have that feeling of love to the special someone. The reason the relationship with love is unstable is because Janie relationship start off good and then end up bad. Take for example in the beginning off the story she dated a old man call Logan. She wasn’t happy because of her grandmother. Her grandmother told her to date Logan because he had money and acres of land But Janie wanted love. Her grandmothers said forget about love and to date a man for his money. Janie said she love her second husband Jody because everything was going good but the more she fell in love the more her husband disrespected her. She stuck with her husband until he died, but the love she had was a disrespectful love. They behaved like love birds at first, and then at the end of their relationship they exchanged hurtful words. Then Janie loved her last husband teacake at first sight because of his looks; he loved her too. Janie’s relationship was good at first, then when she fell deeper in love they was get bad. It was good because Janie and teacake was playing games and teacake taught Janie how to shoot and play checkers. Then at the end he starts acting kind of crazy. He kept touching her hair and stealing her money, but she was still in love. So when teacake got attacked by a dog and got rabies, she loved him so much she had to kill him. Janie husbands question the god of love because they use her for her looks and money.
