The famous sentence that African-American novelist Zora Neale Hurston chose as a title for her novel comes up at a very critical moment of the story when, confronted with the “monstropolous beast” of a Caribbean hurricane, many of the key characters realize that social codes and norms begin to lose their weight and functionality. The author uses the example of the 1928 hurricane that struck the Everglades in Florida to illustrate all kinds of intriguing shifts in the human relations and social structures that had developed among different groups throughout the novel. Some scholars have argued that “questions of gender, class, and race rise in structural and figural importance in the latter part of the book, building toward, and away from, the hurricane” (Duplessis 1990). It is indeed undeniable that this natural disaster compels socio-racial collectivities and specific individuals to rethink their positions regarding others.
