After Joe (Jody) Starks died in Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God," the one thing that Janie did that people noticed was that she tore off the head-rag that Joe had always forced her to wear. This act was significant because it symbolized Janie's release from Joe's control and the oppressive life she had with him. By uncovering her hair, Janie expressed her newfound freedom and independence, shedding the identity that had been imposed on her by her late husband.
