Questions for Socratic Seminar

Please consider the following questions for our final Socratic Seminar on Their Eyes Were Watching God:

-How does literature allow us to reflect on and critique society and ourselves?
-Are there any heroes in the book?
-What, if anything, is the central theme or message of the book?
-Whose account of Hurston's writing would you agree with: Richard Wright or Henry Louis Gates?  Why?
