The narrator in "Sweat" is in smack in the middle of the hot, sweaty action of the story. While she obviously knows central Florida locals and their way of life, her voice is starkly different from that of the characters.

This gives us a mixture of clear, formal narration with colloquial dialogue that reads just like a convo between real-life people. We think it's nothing short of genius. If "Sweat" were only written in formal language, it'd be drier than Florida summer grass; if it were pages of central 'Floridy' folk chatting with their thick slang, we'd probably go crazy.

With a straightforward narrator we get observations like this:

Delia's habitual meekness seemed to slip from her shoulders like a blown scarf. She was on her feet; her poor little body, her bare knuckly hands bravely defying the strapping hulk before her. (17)

And with the characters, we get dialogue like this:

Ah swear dat eight-rock couldn't kiss a sardine can Ah done throwed out de back do' 'way las' yeah. (36)

Mixed together, this literary concoction transports us to a different time and place, leaving us illuminated, breathless and sticky from the sweat.

Zora Neale, author of "Sweat," utilizes omniscient, third person narration and a biblical undertone to contrast the characteristics of Delia and Skyes and identify the abusive marriage arrangement the pair posses. Delia is the hardworking, righteous woman morally aligned with heaven; Skyes is the sinner, tempted by flesh and power, struck down by the serpent's tongue (rattlesnake). Conversation between the neighbors further illustrates stone-cold relationship of Delia and Skyes.

Zora Neale's "Sweat" reflects on the life of Delia Jones as she struggles to co-exist with her abusive husband. The omniscient narration depicted in the story gives an overall tone of sympathy as readers sympathize towards Delia. The entwined relation to a snake, a biblical symbol of sinfulness and evil, brings forth the resemblance of Delia's husband, Syke, to the snake, giving readers a sense of repulsion and hatred towards Syke. Although readers begin to despise Syke, "what goes around comes around", and Syke is a prime example of this statement as he is bitten by the one thing he impersonated his whole life, a snake.
