"Sweat"

After reading this passage of "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston, i found that there are incredible case that some marriages can go through, like supporting aggressive abuse verbally or physically. In this passage we can an unhappy marriage, where the main protagonist of this story of "Sweat" are Delia and Sykes. Delia is hard-worker woman as a washwoman who works for different people and religious person . In the it said it the Delia is quite angry with Sykes because her husband don't  seems concerned about her feeling, and occasionally yells and beating her because she works for white people,and looks like he don't contribute to sustain the house. also there were occasion that they go to sleep in silence.  I think Delia tolerate Sykes abuse because she is a religious person and don't in divorce.

  1. I'm having some trouble following your ideas. Are you saying Delia works as a washer woman for different people as well as religious people? Your point about Delia being religious is an important one, and I agree, that it may be the reason she does not divorce him. Why does Sykes beat and verbally abuse Delia? Is it important to think about the fact that Sykes with Delia for working for white people?
