Sweat by Zora Neale Hurston - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's look at "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston today. We looked at oppression in marriages, religion, and racial divides today. This was some incredible dialect writing and we are looking forward to reading more from her! We wanted to select this piece after recently having read "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman so stick around for the final few moments to hear a quick comparison of themes at the end.
