52. "To my thinkin' mournign oughtn't tuh last no longer than grief." (pg. 93)
Janie never had any real grief over Jody's death. She was too busy being happy that she finally has freedom for the first time in her life. She doesn't have a husband or a parental figure to be telling her what is best for her. She thinks she shouldn't have to go through traditional mourning when everyone knows that she isn't sad that her husband is dead.
