=== ''Their Eyes Were Watching God'' contains the following tropes: ===

** Also note that he sometimes hits her for similar reasons, and in both cases it's presented as romantic. It does, at least,
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Janie is notably light-skinned for a black woman. Self-hating dark-skinned black woman Mrs. Turner thinks the world of Janie entirely because of this, and even wants Janie to dump the dark-skinned Tea Cake for her own lighter-skinned son.
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Janie, [[Unreliable Narrator|if you believe her.]]
