Women In Their Eyes Were Watching God By Zora Neale Hurston

In society having power and being male gives one respect and makes one more desirable than others, whether they would be desired for relationships or economic needs. However, these people with higher status will often as shown throughout history treat their partners of lesser status as less than a person. In the novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston, with the characters Janie Starks, Joe Starks, Logan Killicks, and Tea Cake, the history how women were treated, and all the way to how women were treated in current times show examples of people with power taking advantage of people of lower power.

Because she recognized a wealthy and well-known man, Kirstin Anderson only wanted the money and chose to claim that she was touched in order to obtain it. Because males are frequently portrayed as rapists or abusers, women frequently seek out high-status men in order to extract money from them by alleging that they physically mistreated them.
