” Janie is wharever Ah wants tuh be. Dat’s de kind uh wife she is and Ah love her for it.”

This quote is a great example of why Janie is a great wife and person, and why she was willing to marry Tea Cake. I think that this also shows she is a very ambitious person, in a good way. She is not an egomonical maniac, who is driven by greed, like some of the other characters we’ve read about in The Great Gatsby or Moby Dick . She just strives for what she wants, a good life and a good husband who cares about her. She doesn’t have to be in the everglades, running away from a terrible storm that is reuining the whole town and city, she could be back home, living in her big white house. But being with Tea Cake makes her Happy, and if Tea cake wants to live in the everglades then she’ll follow him.
