Zora Neal Hurston- Sweat

I was a bit sad that we were assigned a few articles but didn't cover them in class, one of them I thought was interesting was Sweat by Zora Neal Hurston. This story is a good example of the abusive husband who gets whatever he wants and takes advantage of her wife by sleeping with other women and using her money for his own selfish desires and treating his wife however he wants, I felt bad for Delia as she worked hard for everything she'd done and Sykes would reply with "What's that got to do with me?" I mean really how evil can someone be? I did like that she would stand up to him though with the pot and that surprised him a lot, I think this story did show that people reap what they sow, as I didn't feel too bad when Sykes was bitten by the snake at the end, it seemed ironic as he had scared her with a whip to make her think it was a snake at the beginning, Sykes was a man that took nothing from nobody obviously as he made it clear he hated whites and he didn't like his wife and expected her to do everything he asked without question.
