Ah got tuh go step off a piece”(Hurston 26). This was the straw that broke the camel’s back in their relationship, and the true reason that Janie left Logan for Jody Starks. But this was not the only reason that she left him, Jody had promised her the life of a woman that would never have to lift her hands to do anything.

Through a recalled account of past life events, the reader is allowed to grasp an understanding of the life of Janie Crawford. Her life’s trials and tribulations have compelled her into the woman she is, a woman of self-determination who has abandoned the idea of the need for a male presence, as a result of three unsuccessful marriages.

From her financially driven first marriage to the death of her last husband, she has taken on the flaws of others, specifically a man, to help her search for personal happiness, which has only hindered her progression.
