There is a great amount of correlation between Janie’s life and Zora Neale Hurston's. They both were raised by their grandmothers because their mothers passed away. Additionally, Janie has close relationships with a white family during her time as a child, to the point where she does not even think that she is black. Another point of correlation is the fact that Janie left Logan for Joe. Despite Janie’s lack of a formal divorce, her marriage mirrors Hurston's in the fact that both marriages lasted only a short period of time and both left because their husband had little left to offer. The most influential correlation can be found in their perception on marriage and men. Dr.Charlotte Holmes is the Associate Professor of English & Women’s Studies at Pennsylvania State University.
