Sweat --> Zora Neal Hurston


I read this book when I was younger and as an adult I’m trying to redo many things I viewed, read, or personally experienced.  For many things I have seen new meanings and hidden ideas that only an adult would catch.  I  once saw it was just a sweet lady with a bad husband who got what he deserved.  Now, it was a woman(Delia) who simply wanted to be strong in her marriage no matter the cost.  It was instilled then and now (sort of) that you make the marriage work, you got in it so stay in it. Today its not so much of a commitment; either they crave their freedom, cant stay faithful, or truly their spouse is crap or changed for the worse.  Any who, this man(Sykes) was verbally and was probably physically abusive, and she just wanted to please him.  Now, by this time he is just doing the most AND he was cheating on her, it was time for her leave and save herself.  I don’t care the time period she didn’t deserve that.  But in the end, I couldn’t help but be happy because God doesn’t like ugly. When the husband kept his wife’s fear right there at the door in the house no matter how much she begged him to remove it (a rattlesnake), that was the last straw.  That man didn’t love her and I wish she would have taken herself out of the equation, but lucky for her God stepped in.  He let the man get what he deserved and was killed by what tortured his wife.

Unfearfully yours,
