Your first thought after reading the title of this short story may have been that it is going to be a romantic love story. We have all read stories and watched movies about fairytales that all had happy endings, but this story is much different. In this particular short story it is about the love that two teenagers share for one another. The relationship between the two completely shades all the other important aspects in their lives. The young couple China and Jeremy were always together, they did everything together.

Olds suggests in this poem that “True Love’’ is all about two people having passion, oneness, and comfort with each other. These three things in a marriage or relationship create true love.

She expresses that their love making is very intense and passionate.
When Janie meets Tea Cake, a poor and adventurous worker, she knows that he is seen as an undesirable and unsuitable match for her: “Janie, everybody’s talkin’ bout how Tea Cake is draggin you round tuh places you ain’t used tuh” (112). Knowing that people saw Tea Cake as an incompatible match did not stop Janie from loving him. Janie understood societies view of him, but did not allow this to stop her from trying to find true love. Through Tea Cake, Janie learned that real love is feeling appreciated and truly desired, and that her past relationships were not love: “Tea Cake love me in blue, so Ah wears it. Jody ain’t never in his life picked out no color for me”(112).
Haley Hemeter Lit. Paper # 2 Janie and Tea Cakes Connection Trust, communication, and understating are key factors in a successful relationship, and I believe Tea Cake and Janie display this throughout the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neil Hurston. Janie, a rare young soul who never gives up on finding true love, and Tea Cake, a young man who loves Janie for who she is, fall in love with one another right away. Tea Cake and Janie enjoy a happy marriage and life together because they have a deep understanding of one another. They have the ability to communicate and learn from one another, and for the most part, they trust each other.
Tamia sings of how she, and her husband still love each other like the first day they met even though they both have aged, and have kids. Shakespeare says basically the same thing in his sonnet. He claims that true love is constant even though people, and circumstances change. In both works Tamia, and Shakespeare speak about how love conquers all conflict that a relationship may face. Tamia describes in her song that she, and her husband go through problems like everybody else, But she don't mind because the love she, and her husband has for one another allows them to talk it out, and move on with their lives.
In The Abundance Of Katherines, Green says “You can love someone so much, he thought. But you can never love them as much as you can miss them.” As humans we call feel this longing for someone love and connect with. The platoon in The Things They Carried and Colin in The Abundance Of Katherines are proof that a part of this longing belongs to all of us and it’s a mutual story we all share. They say love isn’t just for lovers, but also for friends. In The Things They Carried a The Abundance Of Katherines this is proven to be true.

Hurston uses this metaphor to emphasize the fact that Janie could never really be herself and that now she finally found someone who would let her be who she wanted to be. As a reader I feel like Janie is finally content with herself and is happy enough to where she can be herself around someone. Teacake made her realize what love was all about and it opened her eyes to what love could have been like in her prior marriages with Logan and Joe.
The diction of soul implies that the love she has for her husband is genuine. Browning builds further on the spiritual realm of her love which gives the reader an impression that the love for her husband is so huge that it rises above the world: “when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and Ideal Grace” Shakespeare however, goes on to further on his exploration of love indicating that love is and “ever fixed mark” perhaps meaning that love is forever. He then uses personification to further build on his idea that love can endure everything saying that love “looks on tempests and is never
