Their Eyes Were Watching God: Entry 29

Quote:
"He cut nine hairs out of the mole of her head for luck and went off happy. Janie waited till midnight without worrying, but after that she began to be afraid. So she got up and sat around scared and miserable. Thinking and fearing all sorts of dangers. Wondering at herself at as she had many times this week that she was not shocked at Tea Cake's gambling. It was part of him, so it was all right."

Pg. 125

Comment:
(E) This passage from the book is when Tea Cake, Janie's new husband, is gone off all night to gamble. Janie is worried that he might to make it back to her alive or uninjured. I feel sorry and sad for Janie because her husband is getting involved with a life-or-death situation for money. Janie is ok but when it hits midnight, she starts to worry. I'm surprised that she isn't shocked that he gambles. I would've been shocked, surprised, and disappointed.
