<span>The statement that best describes Hurston’s use of nautical imagery in the novel is -The nautical imagery bookends the horizon motif, thus emphasizing the novel’s focus on Janie’s search for love and fulfillment.
I read an analysis on the story, "Their Eyes Were Watching God", according to the analysis Janie's story with Logan and Joe were "rebirth plot type". Janie fell in love, Janie suffered abuses, Janie was saved and experienced a rebirth. In Janie's marriage with Tea Cake, her story followed a "Voyage and Return" plot format. She went away and found love. She experienced suffering and tragedy. She went back home and lived a fulfilled life.
