Analysis of quotes
3. Anthropomorphism is significant because throughout the novel Hurston uses it on animals such as on flies and on the buzzards. By adding human characteristics to animals it becomes easier for the reader to connect to the situation and be impacted by it. Through this method Hurston can use animals to create an extreme version of human society to contrast and criticize it.
4. Imagery plays an important role in the book because it shows nature as character and uses nature to play into several themes. For example throughout the novel nature takes power away from the characters and plays into the theme of where does power come from, do we give it to ourselves and are we given it. Also nature its universal so its easier for everyone to connect to nature rather the something that.s specific to the south.
7. Allusions play a major role in the novel because it creates a sense of realism within a fictional story. If at times the readers doesn't believe what's happening and thinks it ridiculous, allusions serve as a connection back to reality. Also in the story when they name characters after certain people it creates even more depth and characterizes the person in a way that is difficult to do otherwise.
