Why is Joe so preoccupied with calling Janie old?

• It's a sort of coping mechanism: Joe knows that he's getting old, so he wants project that age on her (especially because she's still youthful and beautiful).
• Joe is still jealous of other men looking at Janie, so he figures that if he makes her seem old and ugly, they'll stop.
• Joe has become mean. He knows that Janie is self-conscious, so this is a way to hurt her.
• Joe wants to crush the spirit out of her.
