Journal 2: Literary analysis of Their Eyes Were Watching God passage

"She stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was a marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid." p.11

1. Hurston uses intense and vivid imagery (gold of the sun, thousand sister calyxes)
2. Gives human characteristics to nature, (breath of the breeze, frothing with delight, alto chant)
3. "So this was a marriage!" Perhaps forshadowing?
4. Talks about "the inaudible voice of it all." --> A reference to God?
5. The last line of the passage is mysterious to me, I'm not really sure what it means. "a pain remorseless sweet" also seems a bit contradictory to me. Perhaps Jainie is wishing for a husband?
6. The rythm of the passage is very calm and serene.
7. Hurston is very vague about alot of the things she references, such as "She had been summoned to behold a revelation." She does not explain what this is. It might be plausible to suggest that the "summoning" could be another reference to God and judgement, but I'm not sure about what the revelation might be.
8. At the beginning of the passage, Hurston uses long sentence structure, containing vivid descriptions. At the end the sentences are much shorter and precise.
9. Hurston compares the collecting of pollen to marriage. Maybe she is suggesting that men take something from women when they are married? Male. Vs. Female.
10. Again she mentions the sun, unsure if there is any relevance.
11. Returning to the line about "a pain remorseless and sweet", perhaps this is foreshadowing of Janie's failed marriages. As this line directly follows the one about the "marriage" between the bee and the blossum.
