Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston, is a novel about one woman's self-revelation. It began when this woman was a very young girl. At first she was being pushed, then she was being chosen, and finally, she was able to choose. .
Born a victim of circumstance, Janie, the main character, was subject to her position in life. She was raised to uphold the standards of the early African-American generation. From the beginning, she was taught to be passive and subject to whatever life gave her. As she grew older, she began to realize that she must give in to her desires and not suppress them. .
Janie was set up for her journey of self-discovery by her grandmother. Nanny set a goal for Janie's life by saying, "Ah wanted you to look upon yo' self. Ah don't want yo' feathers always crumpled by folks throwin' up things in yo' face."" ***SITE THIS?*** Janie's grandmother pushed Janie into a marriage, which she considered a "safe- place for Janie. Though hesitant, Janie agreed to marry Logan Killicks. He was a farmer who married Janie shortly after she completed school. .
Killicks was the first antagonist that Janie encountered in the story. He was there for one purpose, to destroy Janie's new sense of self-awarenes. Logan demanded things of Janie that she did not wish to do and tried to push her into his mold of a perfect wife. Janie did not love Logan, nor did he love her. She did not know what she wanted, but she was sure that she did not want Logan Killicks. .
Joe Starks appeared in Janie's yard one afternoon. He said the sweet things that Janie wanted to hear. Though Janie hardly knew the man, being young and gullible, she was taken by his words. She took another step in her journey, leaving Logan the next day and travelling to Eatonville with Joe Starks. Aspiring to be the mayor of Eatonville, Joe Starks was a man concerned with little except power. He wanted it, and he was going to use Janie to get it.
