When I first got this book I didn't have a clue on why the title was Their Eyes Were Watching God. However, by the end of the book I knew why it was called that. In the book a giant hurricane comes racing through the Everglades where Janie and her husband Tea Cake are living. Through her life Janie has always overcome her problems. No matter how bad the relationship, she could handle it for sure. But when the hurricane comes, she realizes that they are at the mercy if the storm. Then in the book it states that "their eyes were watching God."(Hurston, 159) That is how the book got its title.
