After Joe, Janie gave up on searching for love and just settled in the store and worked there everyday. Later Janie met Tea Cake at the store, not wanting to get involved in another relationship, fell for his charm. Tea Cake made Janie feel young and happy like she was when she was younger. Janie was scared to get involved in another relationship because she did not want to expect the best and get hurt again. Anything Janie and Tea Cake did made Janie fall more in love with him. Even when they got in arguments Janie could not stay mad at him for a long period of time because she would fall right back into his charisma. “Ah sell groceries right here in dis store, Tea Cake, if you don't happen to know.” She tried to look cold but she was smiling in spite of herself (108).

For Janie her life with Jody made the impact that being with a guy who could buy her everything and anything may not be her dream but rather a person who accepted her for who she was and saw her as an individual rather than an object to own. That is why the peace she was able to receive came from memories with Tea Cake. When it came to Jody she didn’t need any memories or anything because she was done with him even before his death had came. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie’s relationships with Tea Cake and Jody were impacted from their treatment acceptance of her and how she responds to their deaths.

He shows his affection to Terri by holding her hand and touching her leg. Their inability to explain their love for each other signifies the mystery of love. We depend on logic to define it because it helps us figure out so much in life, such as solve problems and answer questions. Being a doctor, Herb is accustomed to working with the tangible and understanding how things work. This is perhaps why he has a tenacious struggle to define love and appears callow when it comes to loving. Love, though, is different. It is not contingent on rationality. We must be willing to take risks and listen to what our heart is telling us. By the end of the conversation, the friends have become very intoxicated. This is a reflection of their escalated confusion and hopelessness to express an articulate definition of
