The question i must answer is this:
As Henry Louis Gates Jr. writes in the afterword to most modern editions of the book, Their Eyes Were Watching God is primarily concerned “with the project of finding a voice, with language as an instrument of injury and salvation, of selfhood and empowerment.â€Â
Discuss Hurston’s use of dialect and point of view in establishing this
theme.
I know there are three types of dialect used in hear:
Direct discourse
indirect discourse and
free indirect discourse
but i dont know what the point of view is and how everything ties together. Can anyone who has studied this book indept in class explain this as much as possibe. thanks.
