Answer: Janie adopted a coping strategy of withdrawing and internalizing her emotions, which allowed her to endure difficult situations without breaking down.

Joe became increasingly controlling and abusive, leading to a power struggle between him and Janie. He ultimately dies from a sudden illness.

Janie's behavior towards Joe changed from initially admiring him and being grateful for the stability he provided, to resenting his controlling behavior and feeling trapped in the marriage. She ultimately stands up to him and speaks out against his treatment of her, but only after years of enduring his abuse.
