So their inability to communicate with her does not come from hatred but from their upbringing or skepticism. Janie's story (deeply economic, as Houston Baker has argued) focuses on three representative husbands (Newman, October 2003). Although the central point of Their Eyes Were Watching God correlates with Janie's relationship with her three husbands and other people. This is the main idea of ​​Janie's search for divine clarification and a strong sense of her own identity. Janie is alone as seen at the beginning and end of the story. The novel is not the story of Janie's quest for love but rather her quest for a sense of security and independence. Janie's improvement was seen as she studied the use of language and discovered her relationship with her own voice. At the end of her trip, Janie is stronger and more confident than she was when she returned to Eatonville. As a young girl, Janie has some romantic bones in her body (Shmoop editorial team). Her magical experience under a flowering pear tree has a profound effect on her; it associates the pollination of pear blossoms with the quintessence of a romantic experience (Shmoop editorial team). When we first see Janie, she is unsure of herself and how she wants to live. Janie's revelation under the blossoming pear tree launches her quest when she shares her story with Pheoby. After seeing the handstand, Janie is immediately inspired to look for love, which leads to her first kiss and the search for the true love of her life (Shmoop Editorial Team). Janie's longing to achieve this type of love is a reciprocity that produces unity with the world, but she does not know how to ensure that her goal will be achieved. From the handstand incident to the middle of paper, it is read in advance as a tale of feminist triumph (Newman, October 2003). Thus, Janie's analysis of the novel's attitude toward language when she tells Pheoby that speaking "isn't worth a hill, er beans" if it isn't connected to real experience. Triumphalism itself is part of a dubious rhetoric of status (Newman, October 2003).
