Jody is dead. Mah husband is gone from me” (Hurston 87) This limit to the scope of one’s power proves the central problem with Jody’s power-oriented approach toward achieving fulfillment: ultimately, Jody can neither stop his deterioration nor silence Janie’s strong will. Title: I believe that the title Their Eyes were watching God is appropriate.

QUOTATIONS FOR MY ESSAY “They were sending me off to fight a war they didn't understand, and didn't want to understand” Pg. 45 “He enjoyed not being dead. Lying there, kiowa admired lieutenant Jimmy Cross's capacity for grief. He wanted to share the man's pain, he wanted to care as Jimmy Cross cared. And yet when he closed his eyes, all he could think was Boom-down, and all he could feel was the pleasure of having his boots off and the fog curling in around him and the damp soil and the Bible smells and the plush comfort of night” Pg 18.
Gawain demonstrates his belief in the Christian God when he gets lost in a winter storm, “He prays with all his might that Mary may be his guide till a dwelling comes in sight” [737-39]. Gawain’s stay at the manor of Lord Bertilak will place him in a difficult situation. Gawain’s moral code of chastity and courtesy will be sorely tested by a repeated pattern of hunting and seduction on the part of Lord Bertilak and his Lady. The difficulty and complexity of each of Bertilak’s hunts directly mirror each test of Gawain’s moral virtue and code of honor in the bedchamber. Although Gawain almost completely resists the temptations set before him, he does falter slightly.
