Journal 7

Mrs. Turner has a poor relationship with her husband. They have no say in what each other do, and it seems like Mr. Turner could care less about his wife. This has developed a racism inside of Mrs. Turner against her own race. She believes that the darker a black person is, the more stupid and lazy they are. It is strange, because she herself is black. She is also constantly bugging Janie, trying to get her a better husband because she hates Tea Cake for racist reasons. She has the poorest relationship of any characters in the story. Janie's relationship with Tea Cake shows everything that Mrs. Turner wish she had, and I think that she is bitter.
