Explanation:

This question refers to Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The novel follows Janie's life, her maturation and transformation throughout years.

This particular question refers to the situation when she found a gun under her husband's pillow.

This worries her greatly, because her husband's infected with rabies, has rage deliriums and exhibits great amount of jealousy, so Janie doesn't know what to expect nor can she believe him. Just in case, she secretly turns the pistol's barrel and sets it to snap before firing a bullet, which proves she was afraid for her life.
