"What motivates Janie and how is she changed?"
Ever since Janie was a child, she wanted true love, but not at the expense of her voice. That was her dream, but instead she followed her grandmother's dream of power and security. Janie finally starts to think for herself again, with the help of Tea Cake, and her childhood dream is what motivates her. She is changed in that she now thinks for herself, and is no longer afraid to let her voice be heard. No longer does she let herself be oppressed by a husband. And it seems that she doesn't even need to worry about that anymore. Tea Cake is the one who helps Janie to discover herself again, and the one that she loves. He teaches her how to play checkers and takes her fishing and hunting, but most importantly, teaches her how to be Janie again.
