Plot Structure

The plot structure in "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is very circular. Whatever starts something in the story usually finishes it. Like at the beginning of one chapter she is talking about the horizon and the sun, then at the end of the chapter she refers to the sun again. At the beginning of the book she is talking to Pheoby, and it returns to thissetting again at the end. Hurston does this to show change that occurs in the book by comparing the differences at the end.
