Pastoral Language In Janie By Zora Neale Hurston
Hurston has kept not only the pastoral setting in this novel but also used the simple pastoral language of the South to make her characters authentic and realistic. The use of language or communication with other people particularly women was a technique that Hurston used to haul Janie out of isolation and into a deeper understanding of herself and the others. Thus, Hurston has expressed how culture manipulates language through which speech and muted spheres of the disempowered but are formed pastoral with country language offers a simple effortless way enabling a person to voice her/herself, even within muted circles.
