Abstract: As one of the representatives of the Harlem Renaissance in America, Hurston is popular for her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. This novel tells the story of Janie, the heroine, searching for her discourse right. Therefore, it is considered as the sutra of American feminist literature. Though many studies have been done on the main character, Janie, there hasn’t reached an agreement on the achievement of Janie’s discourse right. This thesis holds that the heroine, Janie, finds her discourse right and achieves self-fulfillment by analyzing her behaviors in her three marriages and community.
