Journal #7 Mrs. Turner

Mrs. Turner's character is really affected by her relationship in the fact that she thinks that every black person will let her down like her husband. Mrs. Turners expectations are so high that she thinks everyone will fail her but white people who she has no interaction with. Mrs. Turners marrige is a foil of Tea Cakes and Janies her is a bitter one where whe has no trust for her husband and there is no happiness in the relationship. Compared to Janie's marriage which is full of turst and love. Janie trusted Tea Cake enough to leave Eatonville and get marry him. Mrs. Turner life seems to be the oppostie of Janie's. Janie's life began growing up in the company of whites and now she enjoys the company of the very people Mrs. Turner despises but Mrs. Turner longs for the company that Janie grew up in. Also compared to Sop-de-Bottom, Mrs. Turners marriage is a sad one, one with very little comunication or respect for the partner. In Sop-de-Bottoms relationship he still respects his wife and the strengh that she has.
