76. "She pulled in...come and see." (pg. 193)

Janie expanded her horizons with Tea Cake and saw a lot of the world. She saw how much better it could be to not live with much and how she could be much happier. And now, since she already knows what it is like to have such huge freedom, she is going to find out what it is like to live under rules. Her own restrictions.

75. "The seeds reminded Janie of Tea Cake more than anything else because he was always planting things." (pg. 191)

In a way Tea Cake planted Janie. He was the beginning of true life for her. He didn't hold her back, but rather helped her to push forward and grow. He taught her new things, even some things that people thought a woman doesn't need to know (checkers, fishing, how to shoot, etc). Janie's life revolved around Tea Cake.

74. "So the sun went down." (pg. 188)

This is a symbol of what Janie's life is after Tea Cake is gone. The sun has gone down, so there is no light left, no reason for her to keep on going. This is the end of a stage in her life. Everyone knows that the sun will come back up again and Janie knows that she will continue to live in her way of freedom, but there will always be a hole that Tea Cake needs to fill.

73. "It was not death she feared. It was misunderstanding." (pg. 188)

Janie doesn't care if she is sentenced to hang for killing Tea Cake, but she doesn't want people to think that she killed him because she just didn't want to be with him anymore. She loved him, and she knows that deep down everyone else knows that too. They are only being judgemental because at the time it seems to them like the right thing to do.

72. "Tea Cake was gone." (pg 181)

Tea Cake hasn't physically died yet, but his personality is dead. He has gone mad and now he is not himself. He is dangerous to Janie now because he no longer has any attachments to the world. He is starting to get violent.

71. "It's too late to get hold of de dawg's head." (pg 177)

The doctor is telling Janie that there is nothing that they can do about Tea Cake's condition. He caught something from the dog when he tried to keep it away from her in the water during the storm. She has to be careful taht he doesn't come after her like the dog did.

TEWWG

70. "Somethin' got after me in mah sleep, Janie." (pg. 174)

This could be a foreshadow that something bad is going to happen to Tea Cake. There is a lot of talk about death in this chapter, and we alread know that he is getting sick, so it is possible that he is dying from something that he got during the storm.
