Song Representing Logan and Janie

A song I found that is similar to the behavior of Logan with Janie throughout the book would be Almost Easy by Avenged Sevenfold. This song is closely related to Logan because the instrumental part shows aggressiveness and the lyrics talks about an idea of insanity. Janie was forced to marry Logan, but she was unable to love him. One part of the lyrics says “I feel insane every single time I’m asked to compromise ‘cause I’m afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it stays.” When Janie had the courage to express how she felt about their marriage, she mentioned she would leave with Jody if he keeps treating her as his servant and insulting her. Logan reacts by insulting and belittling her. He will not change who he is and Janie leaves him. The compromise did not work for Logan. The song expressed a man not being able to change, but wants the woman to not leave. I believe this is how Logan and Janie’s final moment together was.
