Janie's Struggle To Find Her Voice. Character from Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

Janie Crawford, the main character of Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, strives to find her own voice throughout the novel and, in my opinion, she succeeds even though it takes her over thirty years to do it. Each one of her husbands has a different effect on her ability to find that voice.         Janie discovers her will to find her voice when she is living with Logan. Since she did not marry …

…lives with Tea Cake.         As the reader can see, Janie has a hard life where she has to struggle in order not to become inferior to her husbands. She succeeds when she is with Tea Cake, which also marks the time when her inner voice starts to awaken. But not until after Tea Cake's death does she realize that she has understood her place in life, or in other words, she has found her voice.
