So, this is pretty sad, right. Tea Cake gets rabies from that wild dog that he killed when it was about to kill Janie. So after a couple of weeks, he starts to act very weird and starts to get really sick. He's really thirsty, his mouth foams, and he becomes very hostile. (I didn't know that rabies actually made you want to kill people. I thought it just made you die...) Janie starts to realize that there is a "mad dog" inside of Tea Cake, so she better get her rifle prepared, just in case he goes crazy. She then snuck under his pillow and took out 3 bullets from his revolver so she could buy time if he tried to kill her. He eventually comes into the kitchen and starts to get mad at her, telling her she's a bad wife and what not. After he talks, he starts to shoot, but there are only clicks from the party empty barrel. Then, Janie runs behind a table, and before she knew it, she heard a bang, and Tea Cake was dead on the ground. Pretty sad, I know. So she then is charged with murder because people start to think that she wanted to get rid of him because she didn't want to take care of him anymore due to his sickness.
While at the trial for Tea Cake's "murder," Janie sits still and silently. She had just lost the man that she had lover, the person who had made her dream for passion come true. She missed him desperately, and she didn't care how her life ended out. So, it didn't really matter if she was in jail or not, her life didn't mean anything anymore. She also wanted to let all of Tea Cake's friends know that she didn't murder Tea Cake, because they all hated her and wanted her to rot in jail. She wanted to win their respect back, and she wanted to prove that she loved Tea Cake a lot, and that not only was she saving herself, she also put Tea Cake out of an awful sickness inside of him.
