Question

Woman used in their eyes​

Answer 1

In the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, the author Zora Neale Hurston, focuses largely on the theme of roles and value of gender in a society. The same theme has been largely captured in The Scarlet Letter by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. The two novels try to capture the traditional roles as well as the value of the two genders in a community. However, the two authors focus more on the role and value of women and how the society and people in these women’s life expect them to make their life choices and live their life. In the novels these women, represented by Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter and Janie Crawford in Their Eyes Were Watching God, are expected to live their lives, not according to how they want to but according to what the rest of the society thinks a woman should be and how the society expects a woman to behave.
