Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik -
Literatur, Freie Universitat Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract:
Their Eyes Were Watching God is the story of a womans life.
Protagonist Janie recapitulates her way from youth to her forties
and shows the growing-up of a woman in the search for love. On the
sideways Zora Neale Hurston points out the life of African-American
people and their problems on the turn of the twentieth century
until the 1930s. The objective of this paper is to point out the
main conflicts and metaphorical images used in the book. As the
novel is to some extent a biography of a womans way to love the
first to mention is the eternal conflict between men and women.
Like a painter Hurston draws the traditional roles of the sexes and
the contradictions of her time - a time of feminine emancipation in
all aspects. Emancipation also plays a role in the obvious
generation conflict personated in Nanny, Janies grandmother.
Somehow incidental, but flashing now and then, and sharp in her
observations Hurston works up the racial issue of black and white
living together in the American society around 60 years after
slavery has officially ended. These are the more general conflicts
of the book, while within the story opens the conflict within the
black community. A subtle comparison of the life in Eatonville and
the Everglades - inseparable of course from the totally differing
feelings of Janie in both places. In the course of the novel
Hurston uses strong, picturesque metaphorical language to describe
the inner world of Janies thoughts and feelings. This paper can
only give a few examples for these images. The tree image stands
for her love life and sexuality - first in bloom when she becomes a
woman. The mule stands as a symbol for the submission of women
through men.
