Socio-Psycho Analysis in Zora Neale Hurston’s their Eyes were Watching God
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Literature is a reflection of human life. The interrelation between the human mind and the society reflect in the literature, if not consciously, at least unconsciously. Authors registered their traces in their writing, which are hidden within their inner heart. For instance, Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), is a novel which registers the unconscious impression of African American struggling of Hurston’s inner heart, through the characterization of Janie Crawford, the protagonist of the novel. By taking the lessons from Janie, the present age women should come out of their sophistication zone, to get the determination and tolerance for handling own life challenges, rather than emotionally inferior.
