Janie's grandmother, Logan Killicks,Joe Starks, and even Tea Cake let Janie down. Her grandmother expects Janie to marry out of necessity rather than love. Logan Killicks, her first husband, treats her like a mule. Joe Starks is initially charismatic but treats her no better than Logan. Tea Cake is the first man to treat Janie with respect but he is unstable emotionally and financially.
