I am doing a project for the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God and I have to do the archetypal steps in order. In the archetypal journey, the supreme ordeal comes before the reward but I am thinking that in this novel the reward comes before the supreme ordeal. The reward is that she falls in love in Tea Cake and the supreme ordeal is the hurricane. Do you think it would be okay if I switched them in my project?
nope, I don't think you quite have it.
The book is essentially Janie's "journey of the hero".
check this site, particularly the section on Love and Relationships... http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/eyes/themes.html
