On the other hand, I think Janie was well aware that Tea Cake's illness affected his mind and thought process, and that he may consider pulling the trigger. In a way, Janie was in denial that Tea Cake would ever turn on her and want to harm her in anyway. Before this scene occurs, Janie and Tea Cake talk about death during the hurricane. Janie says "People don't die till dey time come nohow, don't keer where you at" (151). She understands that death is inevitable and therefore it makes it easier for her to take Tea Cake's life; she knows that it is his time and not hers.

Is this a test to see if Tea Cake really trust her, or is she not thinking right? Do you think you could shoot someone you love if they were going to kill you? --Andrew How does everyone else feel about Janie not taking the bullets out of the gun? Is this a test to see if Tea Cake really trust her, or is she not thinking right? Do you think you could shoot someone you love if they were going to kill you?
