Since NRS has confirmed the multiverse I decided to make a long list of existing timelines using all non canonical endings. Plus extra timelines I’ve thrown in for fun.

Two important notes: Offshoots exist and timelines are given codes similar to DC’s worlds.

Chapter 4: Johnny Cage

Their Eyes Were Watching God: A masterpiece underappreciated in American Literary culture.

From the start of her childhood, Janie’s life was full of issues.  Raised by her grandmother (referred to as Nanny in the book) from birth, she never knew her parents and the little parental influence she did have was authoritarian. While the authoritarian parenting style may[JC1]  make it easier to control the children, there are many psychological issues that start to develop as the child [JC2] grows up because “they do not focus on meeting the child's existential and emotional needs [and] are more concerned about the child living up to their adult standards, norm abiding ideas, consensus values, and expectations.” (Positive Parenting Alley). By using this parenting style alone, Nanny restricts Janie’s ability to find out who she really is, affecting self-esteem and self-confidence hence why she only seeks men who appeal to her need for a parental figure or are authoritative by nature. In the novel Their Eyes were Watching God, Janie’s problems stem from the way she was raised and how she is viewed by the people around her (Greater than them because she is half white).

According to Erik Erikson − who along with Freud theorizes that are stages important[JC3]  to a child’s development− Janie is in the stage [JC4] where anything from here[JC5]  will contribute to how she sees herself for the rest of her life, particularly her budding interest in the sexuality of humans. These are the essential ‘Who am I? What is going on with my body/feelings?’ questions all children must answer for themselves. Janie attempts to figure out who she is through pleasure, in the form of masturbation (under the pear tree) and physical contact with her peers.[JC6]  “On a late afternoon Nanny had called her to come inside the house because she had spied Janie letting Johnny Taylor kiss her over the gate post.” (Hurston 36). Psychologically speaking children begin an in-depth exploration of their bodies and other’s around them between the ages of 10- 16, so her actions are not entirely out of the way. However, Janie’s grandmother refuses to acknowledge her granddaughter’s need to grow out of this stage (As all children do) and forces her to marry a middle age man as a sixteen-year-old girl. Maslow’s hierarchy of need states that a person cannot move to the next level without fulfilling the bottom tiers first, and Janie is never allowed to have her sense of self (the level she would be trying to fulfill as a 16year old girl) because of her grandmother’s fear[JC7] .  This notion forever halts Janie’s development because she never gets the opportunity leave this stage on her own but is rather forced out of it. In the end, it is her Achilles heel, as she loses everything.

Janie, in addition to being sexually inept, is also continuously confused about her role in society. Nanny seems to have accepted her role as someone who will never escape the economical chains placed on black people and black women in particular: “De nigger woman is de mule uh de world. “(Hurston 39). However, Janie, who does not know where she fits in, is not content with her grandmother’s submission. Being a mixed child who lived in the ‘White folks’ backyard she was better than other children but at the same[JC8]  time subjected often to many prejudices. This more than likely further confuses her on where she fits in, she thinks [JC9] often to herself: “Am I better than them or Am I one of them?’ When she marries Logan, the middle age man, she is unhappy because he takes away the freedom she has known as a lighter skinned woman by making her do all the hard laboring (what poor dark skin woman would be doing during this time). It is as he sees Janie as a tool to manipulate, a slave to his whim, which is why she runs off with another man.

Janie’s behavior as a young woman is not inherited, it is learned. Since Janie cannot be with her parents or complete the stages of development that she missed (without a proper trigger at least), she seeks out fulfillment to an infinite continuum. By doing this she herself fails to realize that A.) these things are unobtainable − you can never receive your parents love from someone else− and forever seeking them will cause her to remain insecure/codependent.  B.) that when she finds a person that can indulge her needs she will quickly lose interest because they have lost the attractiveness of re-experiencing her childhood trauma. “We unconsciously behave in a way that will allow us to ‘play out’ [Repressed Memories/trauma], without admitting it ourselves, our conflicted feelings about the painful experiences and emotions we repress.” (Tyson 12-13). A great explanation as to why she cannot balance herself in society and why she sees herself in such a low light enough for her only haven is being controlled by a man.

Fed up with being controlled, Janie leaves Logan for a man named Joe. He bates [JC10] her with sweet talk quickly making her believe he is in love with her, just as she has always wanted someone to be [JC11] “You ain’t got no business behind uh plow as a hog is got wid uh holiday!” [JC12] (Hurston 52).  “Janie, if you think Ah aims to tole you off and make a dog outta you, youse wrong. Ah wants to make a wife outta you.” To Janie this is her taste of freedom, however, she is skeptical because Logan is a man who has authority over her. However, being raised by an authoritarian grandparent, Janie associates authority with safety, which why she is skeptical about leaving her safety net, Logan, for a mysterious man who offers her the same freedom as Johnny Taylor did so long ago.

Janie does indeed go off with him, unable to deal with Logan need to control her anymore and begins to feel contentment in the life she lives. Joe establishes a small town that he becomes the mayor of and Janie as his wife, lives the ‘high life’.  However, this attraction is short lived because just like Logan, Joe seeks only control her. He isolates her socially and physically, slowly taking away the freedom she thought she had gained by leaving Logan. He prevents her from talking to the townspeople (because he is jealous, and they are too poor to even associate with her), makes her work in the store, and does not allow her to show her beautiful hair to others. To Janie, her hair is one of her most important features, her pride. It is long and straight, symbolizing the freedom she once had at the Pear Tree in her youth. As time flows on with Joe beginning to become emotionally abusive, Janie is still unable to leave him because of her learned helplessness, but she does begin to speak out against him. As she notices he is dying, she no longer feels compelled to live by his rules. Joe’s death is the gear that finally restarts Janie’s cog, she is able to restart the process of becoming herself. So when Joe dies, she lets her hair down for the first time in twenty years.

Joe’s death, however, causes more harm than good for Janie. Men start to pour like rain, making their interest in her clear from the jump. But rather than being attracted to her as a person, they’re attracted to her whiteness, her long straight beautiful hair. Janie does not share this sentiment and is content in her loneliness because in her loneliness she is free to do whatever she wants, free from the harsh critiques of men, free from just being known as the mayor’s wife instead of just being Janie. However, just like everything her life, her freedom is short lived.

Teacake is the last of Janie’s suitors and the last piece to the puzzle before Janie feels as if she’s truly found herself. He also is young and misguided fulfilling her need for a man who is lost just like her. Although Janie is happy with Tea cake[JC13] , the townspeople are not. They feel as if their light-skinned, long-haired, and rich mayor’s widow should not be associating with someone so poor[JC14] . “Dat long legged Tea cake ain’t got doodly squat. He ain’t got no business makin’ himself familiar wid nobody lak you” (Hurston 116). This is the first explicit instance of classism in the novel. The other instances are hidden amongst the African American community viewing and accepting that will never be any better than the white men and left at that.

The classism has always been there in fact, as Janie realizes that from the time she was a little girl that she was ‘better’ than other Black’s her age because of her mixed-race heritage. She also realizes that she holds a much higher social standing than everyone in Eatonville because she is the mayor’s wife. Even when Joe dies Janie is still beheld as the town’s treasure. The townspeople become disgusted that Janie is attracted to someone who’s obviously below her, someone so “niggerish”.  However, Tea cake makes Janie happy in a way that she has never felt before. He teaches her to play checkers (a man’s game), takes her fishing at night, and closes shop with her, which allows her to feel on equal terms to a man for the first time in her life. He buys her gifts and picks out a color, blue, for her to wear. Teacake reminds Janie of her kiss with Johnny Taylor, of what she wanted her life to be. “Ah done lived grandma’s way, now ah means tuh live mine” (Hurston 126). Tea cake is Janie’s first and last taste of freedom.

As we reach the final chapters of the book. Tea cake proves himself to be no better than Joe or Logan. Although he does not see her as an object, as a partner who is equal to him in terms and stature, he is still manipulative. He steals Janie’s money, lies to her, and even beats, her something neither of her husbands have ever done. He fulfills her sexual desires (her first to ever do so), but he is jealous and possessive just as Joe. He is also reckless, something Janie confuses with rebellious. This kills him in the end as he refuses to leave a town destined to be swept away by a hurricane and is bitten by a stray dog who gives him rabies[JC15] . Ironically as Janie seeks freedom while she is with him, she is the one who chooses to free him by making the choice to end his life. This shows that Janie has finally developed her own sense of self and no longer needs to rely on finding missing pieces through the men who come into her mouth. She did not have to choose to shoot Teacake when becomes infected with rabies and instead could have allowed herself to be killed by him. This shows Janie’s growth as her choices may have varied from the time when she had first met him. Her choice to shoot him proves that she is finally okay with herself, with being alone, with being just Janie.

Their Eyes were Watching God shows the journey of a black woman who seeks to find herself in all the wrong places. It shows her transition from insecurity to being satisfied with who she is at that moment in time. The book is profound in its writing style and overall theme as it can even be[JC16]  compared to The Awakening written by Kate Chpoin. However, the book is not critically acclaimed and has even been banned in United States Schools and curriculum. Perhaps this was because Zora Neal Hurston was a black woman, or because it was because the African American’s in the book were portrayed as rich, or maybe it was because a woman explored her sexuality without constraint. Unfortunately, no one knows the reason why her works were not praised, however, I am hoping that by reading this academic paper others will realize that Their Eyes Were Watching God is more complex than a novel just about a woman exploring her sexuality in physical terms. I hope that readers will soon realize that this novel is about a black woman who embraces her struggles the only way she knows how and that she is the product of her environment. However, she refuses to let it define her and searches for her true meaning/love in life. As some oppose and continuously fight for this novel to remain on the banned book, one aspect opposers fail to realize is that this book portrays a deeper meaning than what the average reader may see, a simple story portraying a black promiscuous woman.

1.      African American critique: Why did The Great Gatsby earn more prestige than TEWWG? They are written in the same literary time. Is it because TEWWG focuses on a prosperous African American town in the south as an opposed to Rich white American man forcing himself on a married woman in New York City?
