Tea Cake

Tea Cake is different from the other men that Janie has been with. He is a special guy for her and he has sufficiently wooed her. He also has a hint of the lover under the pear tree that Janie has been looking for. He is a kind man and he treats her as an equal, as is shown by how he asks her if she wants to work. Janie accepts and is happy to work with him because unlike the other guys that she has been with Tea cake does not seem to have a purpose set in mind for having her around. For logan it was work and for Jodie it was to be Mrs. Mayor. However tea cake is jsut tea cake and that is what about him is so intriguing to Janie.
