(E) In this part of the book, Janie is talking to her friend, Pheoby, about she and Tea Cake. In the quote, Janie is talking about how her grandmother wanted her marry a rich man so she wouldn't have to work for anything. Janie explains to Pheoby that just because she had everything doesn't mean that there was love. This confirms the statement that money cannot buy love. Tea Cake nothing and she loves him; Joe had almost everything and she couldn't get herself to really love him.
