"Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly." This quote on page 1 of "Their Eyes Were Watching God" got my attention right away because women are always said to be people that don't forgive and forget.
Sometimes I wonder why people in society put that "social norm/truth" on women. My question is why do you think that Hurston put this "social norm/truth" in the beginning of this novel and what does this quote do to prepare you for the subject matter of this novel?
