What is the significance of the title? What does Hurston suggest about the relationship between the characters and God?
The significance comes with the hurricane in the story. Everyone is watching God and waiting to see what will happen next, hoping that he is looking out for them. In the chapter, it almost seems as if Hurston is suggesting that God is only comparing his might to theirs. It seems as if the hurricane is just survival of the fittest, like a test from God. This would show that God is completely powerful over everyone, and that one should respect his power.
