• Blog – Why does Janie care about the mule so much?
When the men torture the mule, the animal fights, but the men then tease him even more. The mule in this chapter could symbolize Janie and her struggle with Joe. Janie has been denied affection from Joe, and the animal has been starved from food. Both Janie and the mule feel helpless. The mule cannot overtake the men and Janie cannot do anything to get Joe’s attention.
