By taking her Grandmother's advice, Janie marries a wealthy man named Logan. Soon she realizes that this was a big mistake and she feels trapped in this terrible marriage. When she meets a man named Joe walking by her house, she feels he would be the perfect man to end her marriage for and run off to start a new relationship. After running off with Joe and figuring out who he truely is, Janie feels trapped in yet another awful marriage. By running off with Joe, Janie thought she would escape her dreadful marriage with Logan. This reveals that Janie had cared what society thought of her(including her grandmother), but after being cornered into her marriage with Logan, she grew up and made the independant decision to leave him for Joe. 

Pastiche: 

After Joe's offer to run off and get married, Janie was drowning in confusion. On one hand she could stay with Logan and have a financially stable life, yet a very miserable one. On the other hand she could run away with Joe and live a life of happiness, but maybe not such a wealthy lifestyle. With this tough decision Janie had to think about what Nanny would say, "Come over tuh yuh Grandma, honey. Let me teach yuh somethin about men, Janie. One thing I promised myself I would do befo' I died was tuh make sure yuh well off wid a good husban. An that's why I'm tellin yuh tuh stay wit Logan. Yuh might have yuh eye on dis Joe right now, but listen tuh me honey, soon you'll be wishin yuh had the things yuh have now that yuh can only get from a husban like Logan. So do Nanny dis one fava an I'll neva ask yuh tuh do anything fo me ever again. Please jus' stay with Logan, honey. For me, Janie". With this advise Janie knew Nanny would have told her, she made the decision to forget about Joe and to keep her marriage with Logan alive as long as she could. By letting Joe go, Janie went on with her everyday life. Even though she listened to Nanny and took the more financially beneficial route, she never got the satisfaction of knowing whether her life would have been greater with Joe. This forced Janie to leave behind the thought of Joe, and move on with her train-wreck of a marriage to Logan.
