Zora Neal Hurston's plot uses the reoccurring events of Janie's marriages as a method to illustrate how Janie is entrenched within a cycle of oppression and unhappiness. Hurston shows that it is only when Janie breaks the cycle of her marriages that she becomes empowered as a woman.

This is a great thesis. However, I think when Janie is with Tea Cake she is empowered, so her marriage with Tea Cake wasn't as bad as the first two. Maybe you could include this. Otherwise, this looks like a great subject and thesis.
ReplyDeleteIm gonna agree with Ben on this one. But id also avoid "oppression" and use another word instead because its common and used quite a bit by other people. So try to include a twist on yours that's different than other people's.
ReplyDeleteGreat thesis, you might want to throw in a literary element/technique in there.
