Beverlee’s Reviews > Their Eyes Were Watching God > Status Update

Representation of storm(specifically a hurricane), literal and figurative (“fight” at Turner restaurant).

Doubt can kill a relationship (any type, not just romantic). Janie and Tea Cake have reached an understanding of sorts because Janie wants to be Tea Cake’s wife in every way, not excluded b/c of perceived class difference.

Thoughts that came to mind-why is class an issue? Hair is a recurring minor theme-relates texture & length to beauty and class. Ageism, definition of womanhood, emergence of black bourgeoisie. It’s never a good sign when one refuses to consider the not so great things that could happen when building a relationship based on love, must love self first.
