Motivation: Janie is motivated primarily by a desire to discover herself and the pleasures of life. As Janie is no longer merely content sitting in the high seat her grandmother wanted for her, she seeks to truly experience life and the world around her- as opposed to simply being satisfied with her relative wealth and good standing. She is willing to risk all of these things to lead a more fulfiling life with Tea Cake.
Change(s): Janie has changed in that she has begun to revert to the same mindset she had at the start of the book; at least in so far as love is concerned. She begins to seek affection with Tea Cake as opposed to putting up with men like Logan and Jody. She is more open to risks- she could have married any of a number of well-to-do men, but instead she would risk everything for the love of a stranger. This is very similar to her ideas on love in the begining of the story- something irrespective of weath or status, but greater than either.
