Their Eyes Were Watching God

(PG 54) She went through many silent rebellions over stuff like that.

This plays back into the idea that no one questions or challenges Joe. If Janie really rebelled and yelled at one of the customers then that would reflect badly on the store, which would reflect badly on Joe. This would ultimately mean she was rebelling against him. Up until now it never really seemed like that rule, or fact, applied to Janie because she is his wife and she should be able to question him. This shows that Joe really does have power over the whole town, that is unless someone decides they have had enough of Joe.
