story “Sweat‚” by Zora Neale Hurston‚ seems to exemplify the epitome of a bad marriage. Hurston uses foreshadowing and irony to demonstrate the disintegrated relationship between the abusive husband and the diligent wife. Throughout the story‚ it becomes obvious that the husband does not oblige by the motto‚ “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Hurston’s use of irony and foreshadowing helps reveal the fact that “the good will prevail” and Sykes will finally get what he deserves.

He then gouges the eye out and later kills

I wonder if Hester loved Mr. Dimmesdale? It’s easy to think she does because she became an adulteress and faced a novel’s worth of guilt and shame for him. She never seems to resent him for making her face ignominy by herself. In fact‚ she is deeply concerned for his health and even offers to run away with him: “Thou shalt not go alone!”(136). Though all these actions seem like proof of love‚ I think Hester does these things for other reasons. The Scarlet Letter is definitely not a romance novel
