Abstract: This article examines the themes of voice and freedom in Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. The protagonist, Janie Crawford, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, navigating gender roles, societal expectations, and personal relationships. The novel highlights the significance of self-expression and autonomy in the face of oppression. By analyzing Janie’s transformation, this study explores the broader implications of female agency and identity within African American literature and feminist discourse.
