Content: He laughed a high lungless laugh. " De chillun don't keep her in no mo' so she visits when she chooses." Mr. Turner's words reveal his
lack of control over his wife. The speaker in "Harlem" contemplates
the fate of aspirations that are unrealized. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston uses dialect when Tea Cake speaks in order to
emphasize his cultural background. Mrs. Turner, like all other believers had built an altar to the unattainable—Caucasian characteristics for all. Her god would smite her, would hurl her from pinnacles and lose her in deserts, but she would not forsake his altars. Behind her crude words was a belief that somehow she and others through worship could attain her paradise—a heaven of straighthaired, thin-lipped, high-nose boned white seraphs. How does Zora Neale Hurston use Mrs. Turner to present a cultural criticism? She mocks Mrs. Turner's belief that everyone should look alike.
