""Their Eyes Were Watching God" is written in such a style that it relates more to the period of William Faulkner than Modernism." TEWWG is a very modernistic piece because it involves many of the traits of Modernism within the novel such as the break down of society and a negative outlook such as the ones involved in her marriage.
""Their Eyes Were Watching God"is a novel centered around the life of Janie who struggles with finding happiness and what it truly means to love someone."Janie struggles throughout the novel because she is taught by Nanny to basically settle for a man if he has money and will support her. These values cause Janie to have a false sense of happiness and she does not truly understand what it is like to be happy until she finally has freedom from all of her abusive relationships and she is able to do as she wants and control her own life.
""Their Eyes Were Watching God" is an example of the feminist movement." This novel draws attention to the issues that women have because during the time of modernism women were just starting to be recognized. Abusive relationships take place all the time and often not enough attention is brought to them and women are not owed the respect or given the freedom that they deserve.
