Tea Cake is a bad guy???

Janie has always been the type of girl that wanted to fall in love. It was obvious already in the beginning of the book when she was daydreaming while watching the flowers bud on the pear tree. When she was forced to marry Logan Killicks, her dreams were put on hold for a while. When she met Joe Starks, he opened up the possibility for chance and change. For twenty years Janie went through hell being with Joe. Yes she had almost every material object that she could ever ask for, but inside she was never satisfied. I find it so hard to believe that more people are saying how bad and mistreated Janie is by Tea Cake, and nobody ever said one word about Jody. Giving Janie a nice big house to live in and all the clothes one could ever ask for must be worth being put down and hit everyday of your life. When Janie met Tea Cake, she met the opposite of Jody. This was the man of her dreams. From what I've heard in the discussion in class on Tuesday, more people would rather have material items than love and someone who makes you feel beautiful. The first time I read the book I was a little worried after Tea Cake left Janie in the hotel, but after he came back I knew he deserved someone like Janie because he gave Janie what she always wanted and never had before in her life. I find it really surprising that nobody likes Tea Cake.....there must be a misunderstanding in the reading or sentences are just getting looked past on.
