– How do Janie’s actions with Tea Cake reflect her ideas about love as opposed to those ideas that Nanny, or others who grew up in slavery, valued?
Tea Cake is really the opposite of how a man is suppose to be. Janie's nanny said that a man is supposed to have alot of money where he can provide for you. Tea Cake is a man who cares about Janie alot but dosen't have that much money. Many people like Pheobe said that Tea Cake was too low for Janie and all he wanted was her money. They critized Janie because he is opposite of Jody. Jody had a lot of money and was succesful. Janie wants to be different than her nanny. She wants someone that she loves instead of just a person who has money.
