Mrs. Turner is another character in this novel. She is Janie’s friend and is of mixed heritage. She isn’t that beautiful but is very proud about her appearance as she thinks that is a factor that differentiates her from the black people. She is fond of Janie as she has Caucasian features but doesn’t like her to be engaged with Tea Cake, a black. She thinks both are not good for each other and insists Janie to be with her brother instead.
