In Chapter 9, Janie talks about how the angels grew jealous of man and chopped up and covered him in mud. How does this parable relate to Janie’s own experience?
I think that this relates to Jody's and Janie relationship. Jody had a lot of power when he had came to the city. I believe that since he was controlling the city and controlling people the angles weren't jealous but he didn't deserve that much power that he had. I think that by chopped up it meant that his kidney's were messed up when he had kidney promblems. Then when it said they coverd him up in mud I think it refferd to Jody's death. When Jody died Janie was free of mud and control. And I also believe that the jealousy can be referred to Jody's jealousy of Janie. How pretty she was and how other men liked her.

I'm not sure your getting the complete tie here. Jody is jealous of Janie. He is cutting her down and covering up her power (her body and hair), just like the angels in the story broke down man.
