The correct option is the second one. Logan shares his thoughts on Janie’s feelings of rejection. From his words and the context of their dialogue, Logan appears to belong to the working class, possibly lacking the educational background that would meet the expectations of Janie’s family. Moreover, in his tearful outburst, he hints at being upset with someone—in this case, Janie herself. Thus, more than harboring animosity towards her family, his emotions regarding her rejection connected to his social standing take precedence. Additionally, this analysis derives from the book The Assertive Woman in Zora Neale Hurston's Fiction, Folklore, and Drama by Pearlie Mae Fisher Peter, which discusses the challenges faced by African American communities and critiques misconceptions about social classes that deemed the pairing of Logan and Janie unacceptable during that era.
