Janie said that Jody needed to “have his way all his life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let himself heah ’bout it”. He didn’t let Janie socialize with the community, even when it’s what she wanted to do, and he tried as much as he could to stop her from emerging in any way.

Dewey Dell for example only wishes to travel to town in order to receive an abortion. She hardly has time to grieve for her mother, more consumed by the guilt and fear of her sin being known to the rest of the world. Through the journey she transforms from an ignorant and desperate girl into a manipulative, obsessive, and traitorous figure. Knowing that Darl knows of her pregnancy because of his innate ability to look into people`s hearts and see into their deepest secrets is what compelled her to tell Gillipse that he burnt the barn down. She is one of the biggest advocates to put him in a mental institution thereby ensuring no one would believe a word he said if perhaps he was to give her away.

She must fight off the influences of her grandmother, who encourages her to marry for security, and her first two husbands, who thwart her development. Her second husband, Jody, has an especially negative impact on Janie's growth as his prevailing aspirations turn her into a symbol of his stature in the town. She is not allowed to be herself, but must subdue herself to his ideas of propriety, which means she cannot enjoy the talk of the townsfolk on the porch let alone participate in it. “This business of the head-rag irked her endlessly.
