Their Eyes Were Watching God is the story of a woman’s search for contentment within herself. Janie recounts her lifetime of experiences and then gathers them into herself. The novel is the story of how she slowly arrives at this state of wholeness. Janie associates herself with the pear tree that was in Nanny’s yard. She sees the tree in bloom, and she wants a similar experience for herself. She wants bees to come and fertilize her, like they do the tree. She thinks of marriage like the relationship between bee and tree. Janie quickly comes to realize the reality of marriage when she marries Logan Killicks, then Joe Starks.
