Janie’s best friend in Eatonville. Pheoby gives Janie the benefit of the doubt when the townspeople gossip viciously about Janie. She is the audience for Janie’s story, and her presence is occasionally felt in the colloquial speech that the narrator mixes in with a more sophisticated narrative style. Because of several responsibilities of her marriage, Pheoby can’t escape or behave herself the way Janie can. At the end of the story we see how she has changed, she even says that finally she see that she is tall, and she can love something, even can have hobbies.
