Welcome Educators!
Dear Teachers,
We welcome you to an insightful teaching guide which will help to educate teachers and students on the Freudian Lens theory and learn to apply this approach to Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. Their Eyes Were Watching God , published in the 1937, holds much to offer to the Freudian lens. Most of the ideas in this novel correlate directly with the Freudian lens, from the concept of the Id, Ego, and Superego to Chalice and Phallic objects throughout the novel. Examining Freudian lens in greater detail will allow students to explore new angles of thought, reading into the subconscious. Once your students learn and explore the Freudian lens, it will allow them to make connections to not only the novel itself, but to other pieces of literature as well, expanding their learning and interpretation horizons.
The Freudian lens is one that focuses on dreams, the subconscious, and relationships. By setting aside a more modest, politically correct way of thinking, this will allow students to think outside the box, and explore new boundaries. Applying this view into Their Eyes Were Watching God will allow students to see the way sexual relations and expectations play into stereotypes, and how specific personalities can affect other characters as well. This lens will help students understand entirely new ways of seeing symbolism, personality, and even their own subconscious.
We hope you find the information we have to offer insightful and intriguing,
