Quote:
"She had found a jewel down inside herself and she had wanted to walk where people could see her and gleam it around...When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Then after that some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song. So they covered each one over with mud...Janie had tried to show her shine."
Pg. 90

(R) I like this part of the passage because it shows Janie becoming a free person again through an interestingly thought out and Biblical reference. The quote seems like it suggests that we as humans are made perfect by God but the angels are the ones who make us do wrong. Then eventually we have to find our true selves again. To further explain this, the angels could represent her husband, Joe (who just died); because he made her feel like crap. But when he dies, she finds herself again.
