Quote 1
Janie saw her life like a great tree in leaf with the things suffered
Janie was unmovable, yet her heart shivered like a leaf. In the mist of reality. Her reality love is in all ways what it’s cracked up to. Though routed she was fragile, and her pain was open for all to see. Her eyes were the window of her soul, and all who looked into them, could see a piece and broken heart.
Quote 2
The vision of Logan Kellicks was desecrating the pear tree ... She merely hunched over and pouted at the floor.
Janie’s ideal of love is set by her experience under the pear tree, an experience that was highly romanticized and glamorized in her sixteen-year-old eyes. Thus the idea of marrying an ugly old man for no other reason than to please Nanny is repugnant to Janie and "desecrates" her idealized vision of love.
