Janie

In the book Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie is a woman whose husband died and is now planning to marry a much younger man whose name is Tea Cake.  Everyone in the town of Eatonville thinks that Janie is foolish and that Tea Cake only wants to marry her because she has a lot of money.  Janie said she is willing to take that chance because she is in love with him.  I do no think that Janie is foolish on taking a chance with Tea Cake because if nobody ever takes risks, you most likely will not achieve what you are striving for in life.  I think that love is something worth taking risks for and if Janie is willing to put all of her money on Tea Cake then she has every right to and it is none of the towns business what she does with her personal life.
