Paper Summary:

This paper describes the three marriages of Janie Crawford in Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". It examines how Janie's three marriages represent her journey through womanhood and the lessons that she learned from these different obstacles in life.

From the Paper:

"The matrimony between Joe Starks and Janie is built on money as well as security. For example, the young woman leaves her first husband for a man who promises her everything. Joe promises Janie that he will treat her like a queen. She tells him how Logan forced her to do yard work, but Joe explains to her that with him, she will never have to do anything unless she wants to. The thought of living the "good life" excites Janie. Joe is a wealthy young man and sweeps her off her feet into a new atmosphere. They start a new life in a town called Eatonville. Since her husband is a prominent figure in Eatonville, he is elected mayor. She is happy to be the mayor's wife and thinks that she is in love. Jody is in charge of the whole town and advises her to stay at home while he takes care of everything else. Joe's confidence makes her feel secure."

I attend Morgan State University and I recently just changed my major from Computer Science to Political Science with a concentration in Pre-Law because I think that I will do better in the Humanities since it is my passion. I also encourage others to major in a subject that interests them and not what will "guarantee you a certain amount of money" when you graduate. I was lucky enough to go with my own instinct and change my major in the summer after my freshman year and now I couldnt be happier.
