Hurston's use of metaphor and symbolism is exquisite. Her ability to mold words into images is second to none. Even if it were not for the powerful story of Janie Crawford, the book would be an excellent work of poetic prose. Adding Janie's struggle for self-discovery just makes the novel all the more better.
