From the supplier: The psychology of denial is explored in Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God.' The main character, Janie, can be considered self-destructive in that she has some evidence that she could die, but does not attempt to avoid her death. Janie is an eternal adolescent who maintains the values of the dominant white society. This acceptance of dominant society reveals Hurston's conservatism.
