So in order for Abraham to have children Sarah gives her handmaid Hagar to him to conceive his child. Sarah’s world greatly differs from the one we live in today.

    Eatonville does not sound anything like Eden‚ but Zora Neale Hurston’s short story‚ “Sweat” still brings to mind the Garden of Eden. Maybe it is the title‚ “Sweat‚” that brings to mind Genesis 3:19‚ “By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat…” Or it might be the snake that makes it reflect the Biblical Fall.
