Symbols
Janie’s hair- it symbolizes her personality and feelings. When she has to where the head rag she is covering up her emotions.
Overalls- Symbolize that she does not care what other people think about her it also shows that she is working class.
Pear Tree- The pear tree symbolizes Janie’s growth. When she was coming into her woman hood it was blooming and whenever she is in need of happiness she thinks of the tree blooming and she is calmed.
Gate- The gate symbolized Janie’s freedom and her want to escape. In each of her homes she sees the outside of the gate as a haven.
Mule-The mule with Logan Killicks symbolized Janie having to work hard and not getting much love. With the new town and Joe Starks it symbolized a helpless being that no one cared for. That is how Janie felt in the new town.
Joe Stark’s house- Joe’s house is large and white while the rest of the town is ramshackled. It makes the town look like a plantation. It also shows how full of himself Joe has become.
Lamp lighting- At first Joe is a “light” of the town and everyone likes him, soon he starts to fade and becomes too egotistical.
