During the civil war many blacks worked long hours with hardly any breaks. Almost all the whites owned the slaves, and the whites were basically the rulers, because they had freedom. They could have ruled the world any way they wanted to. The whites handed off labor work off to the slaves. The black men did their work. The black men then were rulers of black women and they ruled them around. This is basically a hierarchy. White men are on the the top, the most superior race. Following them it is the black men and at the way bottom are black women. Black women are perceived as weak by black men, and they are referred as donkeys, because like donkeys they carry out orders.

After realizing this Janie was now coming out of all her fantasies she had once dreamed about marriage and is now realizing the reality and started to mature. She is understanding the concept of marriage. (93

    The motif of “blossoms” blooming, which acts as a start for her new teenage life, and with some sexual references, the “pear tree” provokes her joy of connections and partnerships with men. Apart from being parallel to her growth throughout time, the Pear tree also represents her idealized view of relationship, which is further illustrated in the imagery of “visiting bees” collecting pollen from a pear blossom. The imagery of the relationship between the “bees” and the blossom is her definition of true love, which unfortunately, cannot be found in her first two marriages. Her dream and aspiration for the equality within a marriage is specifically strong, which easily earns her dissatisfaction when her two former husbands “failed her” (Hurston 25), desecrating her vision of true love. Although the start of her two marriages is a “bloom”, Janie no longer has “blossomy openings dusting pollen over her [men], neither any glistening young fruit where the petals used to be” (Hurston 72), which triggers her to end both the marriage. At the end of the novel, Janie declares that “love is like de sea. … It takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it’s different with every shore” (Hurston 191). She believes that true love is not fixed and it differs from people to people, and most importantly, it depends on the…

    She did, however, walk back and forth to the pear tree multiple times thinking about marriage in the last few days she had of freedom. “Did marriage end the cosmic loneliness of the unmated? Did marriage compel love like the sun on the day?” (21) The continuous mentions of the pear tree resemble the young dreams Janie have, and the expectations that love is going to be as tremendous as the experiences she has outside with nature and that pear tree.…

    The flowers symbolize Elisa’s virginity. Rather than breeding her flowers, she bypasses normal fertilization and makes clones, propagating the flowers. She cares for her flowers in the most delicate of ways, “her terrier figers [destroying] such pest before they get started” (423). She also provides detailed instructions to the tinker on how to care for them, symbolizing the way she has protected her virginity until this time. When giving away her “beautiful” (423) chrysanthemums to the tinker, they are perfect and pure, where as in the end, they are “a dark speck” (425) on the side of the road. Just by seeing that dark speck, Elisa knows that her chrysanthemums have been thrown out by the tinker. Now, her flowers are a dark speck, quite contrasting to the beautiful description in the beginning. Elisa plans to lose her purity tonight and the flowers do an excellent job of showing…

    2. Janie is initially attracted to each man differently in each one of her marriages. Her first marriage to Logan, was set up by her Nanny. “She could see no way for it to come about, but Nanny and the old folks had said it, so it must be so” (Hurston 21). Her Nanny saw Logan as a protective love for Janie. Janie felt that her marriage to Logan would develop love between them.

    Unlike the other two men, Tea Cake is cheerful, attractive and comforting. In fact she feels something for the first time that she did not feel with any other man, “Maybe this strange man was up to something! Tea Cake wasn’t strange. Seemed as if she had known him all her life” (Hurston 99). After meeting him for the first time she feels a sort of comfort as if she has always known him. She feels Tea Cake has something which makes her loneliness disappear and makes her smile. This causes her to enjoy herself as she has never experienced this before and “So she sat on the porch and watched the moon rise. Soon its amber fluid was drenching the earth, and quenching the thirst of the day” (Hurston 99). This quote reflects Janie’s happiness and her desire for true love once again after being let down twice. The amber fluid represents the preciousness of Tea Cake’s attention as she has never been respected before. Tea Cake’s love and respect quenches thirst for a relationship with true love and the beauty of this true love shown by the moon rise. Being with Tea Cake reinvents Janie and gives her another chance to live the life of true love. She begins to believe that “He could be a bee to a blossom – a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the word with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God” (Hurston 106). Janie is clearly won over as she sees him as the bee to her pear tree blossom. She associates him with the romantic natural imagery that she embarks when she used to look at the tree in Nanny’s backyard. She sees Tea Cake as true love and falls deeply in love with him. Tea Cake gives her freedom and equality, he treats Janie well, and everything she has ever wanted including true love. Although Tea Cake does not have much wealth and their age difference is large, Janie…

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s use of flowers as a symbol demonstrates different character identities throughout the story. One way Lee symbolizes character identities is through Miss Maudie's Azaleas. At the end of chapter eight Miss Maudie says, “Always wanted a smaller house, Jem Finch. Gives me more yard. Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now” (73). This is Miss Maudie's response after her house burnt down which demonstrates that she sees the positive qualities in things regardless of what the circumstances might be. Here her azaleas symbolize her strength and determination. They also give the differentiation amongst her and her benevolent attitude as well as the bitterness in Maycomb County. Scout and Jem…

    Although her marriage to Logan Killicks was short, this relationship still shaped her character in many ways. When she first marries him, she is catapulted into adulthood and womanhood and soon realizes that she cannot “grow” to love someone who she is forced to marry, and she will only end up resenting that person. After leaving him, she gains a new sense of independence, something that has always been in her nature, by abandoning an absolute chance at security. She also loses the desire to make others happy and forms a new wish to find love no matter the cost. Her relationship with Joe Starks was the longest and because of this, one of the biggest contributors to who Janie is at the beginning/end of the novel. Throughout their relationship, she is continuously oppressed and controlled by Joe which confuses Janie into believing that this is how love is supposed to be. When Jody finally dies, Janie is liberated from his oppression and finally feels free. It is because of this relationship that Janie feels the biggest need for independence and spending time finding herself instead of worrying about making others happy or finding “love” as she did before. The relationships in Janie’s life have, undoubtedly, shaped her character over the course of the novel, and contributed to the overall theme of Janie’s journey, which is finding her independence and…
