The End of Their Eyes Were Watching God

After the horrific storm and the incident with Tea Cake being bitten in the face, Tea Cake becomes very sick. Not only does Tea Cake get sick but he is forced to help bury some of the dead from the hurricane. But through out the last chapters Tea Cake starts to turn and accuse Janie of sneaking out at night and seeing Mrs. Turner's relatives. Janie notices that after their fight he starts sleeping with a gun under his pillow so Janie thinks that she should have her rifle at the ready incase anything gets too out of hand. One the night the two get in a fight and it escalates to where Tea Cake pulls a gun on Janie. He pulls the trigger twice and before he can pull it a third time Janie shoots him in defense. She knew he was changing and as soon as she shot her beloved husband she died too. Janie was put on trial for the murder of Tea CAke but she didn't reveal much because to her nor say close to anything because she knew life without Tea Cake wouldn't be life at all.
