How did jody treat janie?

Jody, also known as Joe Starks, initially treats Janie with a sense of admiration and ambition, seeing her as a trophy wife who enhances his status in the community. However, as their marriage progresses, he becomes increasingly controlling and domineering, stifling her independence and self-expression. He often belittles her and disregards her feelings, which ultimately leads to Janie's feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction in their relationship. This dynamic highlights the themes of power and gender roles in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God."
