Chapter 18 contains the line the title comes from – “their eyes were watching God.” Explain what the line means in the context it appears.
On page 159, Hurston says,"ah'm glad y'all stop that crap-shooting' even if it wasn't for money, Janie said, Ole Massa is doin' His work now. Us oughta keep quiet." I believe that this is saying that God is in charge of the hurricane. In that quote Ole Massa is God. It this chapter God is mentioned in many ways. When Janie and Tea Cake were talking it seemed that they looking at each other but really "their eyes were watching god." God is the one who is controlling the storm, it is all in his hands. Everyone was questioning God because it was all his decision.
