One of the themes from Their Eyes Were Watching God is that dominance and conquest are destructive ways to seek identity and ful
fillment. Which quotation best supports this theme? “Come help me move dis manure pile befo’ de sun gits hot. You don’t take a bit of interest in dis place.”
"Mah wife don't know nothin' 'bout no speech-makin' . . . She's uh woman and her place is in de home"
“But you wasn’t satisfied wid me de way Ah was. Naw! Mah own mind had tuh be squeezed and crowded out tuh make room for yours in me.”
“Ah don’t blame de white folks from hatin’ ‘em ‘cause Ah can’t stand ‘em mahself . . . Us oughta class off.”
