Their Eyes Were Watching God Third Response

Why does Janie care about the mule so much? I believe the reason why Janie cares about the mule so much is all about about similar experiences. Janie looks at this old mule and can't stand the fact that anyone would treat it so badly. Janie also has been through a lot in her life, on the terms of understanding how it feels to be prodded and teased so it is only natural that Janie would want to do something for the mule.
"They oughta be shamed uh theyselves! Teasin' dat poor brute beast lak they is! Done been worked tuh death; done had his disposition ruint wid mistreatment, and noe they got tuh finish devilin' 'im tuh death. Wisht Ah had mah way wid 'em all." pg 67.
