The ending well-suits the beginning of Janie’s biography as the beginning depicts the start of life without her husband, Tea Cake. When Janie’s life reaches an ending with Tea Cake, the dogmatic return to Eatonville portrays the incorrect assumption of those who doubted the relationship of Janie and Tea Cake. By returning, Janie is able to prove Tea Cakes love for her was until death did them part.
Moreover, the beginning of the story illustrates the return of Janie, along with the response from the citizens of Eatonville.
