why are the women annoyed when janie walks by them
Janie is naturally beautiful even though she is wearing overalls. The townspeople are cruel and envious. They wonder why she is returning in improper overalls instead of a proper dress and where her husband is.
Janie walks straight through the town and does not let anyone bother her. Janie is a beautiful black woman; the men notice her tight bottom, her beautiful hair and her "pugnacious breasts." The women are envious of her; they hope she might fall to their level some day.
