Their Eyes Were Watching God
Lesson Outline
We continued analyzing textual passages in order to practice how to infer conflict and character. I placed a quote describing Janey on the board and explained how Janey's. insistence on participation as an equal in marriage marks an evolution in her character development as well as an illustration of the conflict between independence and traditional gender roles. We then analyzed how the shift in setting to the Florida everglades acts as a contrast to the values of town , the location of Janey's prior stifling marriage . Last, we noted how Hurston's anthropology training and background informs much of this segment of the novel that captures the life of Black migrant workers in the Glades during the late 1920s.
