Through out the entire book, Janie is quick to talk; however, she says almost nothing during the trial. Why?

Janie’s first two husbands didn’t respect Janie for who she was and they took control over her. Through out the entire book other people depress her voice, and she believes that her voice doesn’t matter. Tea Cake actually cares about her and allows her to be what she wants. He actually makes her realize her potential and who she really is. Her other marriages didn’t end as sadly as it did with Tea Cake because she actually found her first true love. Janie is put on trial for killing Tea Cake, her husband. During the trial she says almost nothing because of two reasons. In the trial she figures out who she really is, and second in court anything you say could be taken against you so the less you speak the better.
