It is the consistent loss of control that causes Sykes to feel frail in his own home reason a strain in their marriage. It takes two individuals, who feel equivalent to one another, to make a marriage work, yet sykes need full oversight over Delia which caused him loss of his marriage.

Another example where force battle is obvious is when Sykes attempts to deal with Delia by prying on her apprehensions of snakes. Sykes realizes that Delia is lethal scared of snakes yet he feels free to alarm her with a bullwhip that resembles a snake. When Delia gets frightened of the bullwhip thinking it was a snake, Sykes acknowledges that he simply needed to panic Delia by unveiling that “Course I knowed ! That is why Ah done it” (Hurston). Snakes have for some time been an animal that individuals dread or are utilized as a substance of dread. Sykes realizes that Delia fears Snakes yet he purposefully brings home a bullwhip that resembles a snake and alarms Delia. In any event, when he understood that Delia really got frightened of the bullwhip, he feels no regret rather he affronts her and left. Sykes utilizes the snake to further his potential benefit to play on Delia’s dread and to demonstrate his predominance over her. When Sykes feels that he has no power over his own family unit and the best approach to cause himself to feel unrivaled again by playing with Delia’s shortcomings. This isn’t the main occasion in the story that sykes is making a special effort to pick up control and feel incredible.

Parcel of individuals are terrified of snakes since they speak to capacity to murder. At the point when a snake is utilized as intends to frighten somebody, it is a move made by an individual who is ravenous of intensity. When Sykes understands that he is left with no control or force which he so frantically needs, he utilizes various approaches to control Delia to feel predominant in his home. Sykes utilizes Delia’s shortcoming as a chance to deal with Delia in light of the fact that Delia has more control in the house since she is the one endeavoring to accommodate her family.

Another significant topic of difficult work and battle in sweat is a subject of intensity battle in the story. The subject of difficult work is clear through the title of the story, sweat, which in itself infers difficult work. As a rule, it requires difficult work and constancy to have the option to depend on oneself for the extravagances of life. That isn’t the situation with Sykes who relies upon his better half to help his own way of life. Delia can bolster her way of life and her better half’s way of life through her difficult work and constancy functioning as a washerwoman. Sykes then again doesn’t work and relies upon Delia to pay for his way of life and Sykes, consequently undermines her and condemns her work. Delia makes Sykes understand that she is the one trying sincerely when she says that “”Ah been hitched to you hide fifteen years, and Ah been takin’ in washin’ hide fifteen years. Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, ask and sweat” (Hurston). Delia makes Sykes understand that she has all the force in the family since she is the one wokring difficult to run their ways of life. Delia has all the control in the family unit since she is the one that claims everything and Sykes feel compromised by the force that Delia has over him. Delia’s difficult work gives her control and force in the family, and that is the thing that makes a force battle between these two characters. Sykes had consistently been in charge and had all the force as the man of the family unit, yet since Delia turned into a free lady he sees that the force is slipping from him. Force and control is extremely critical to Sykes, yet Delia’s difficult work gives her all the force.

The significance of intensity is obvious all through the story. There are numerous examples in the story that a peruser can detect a force battle between characters. Force is a significant device and it is either earned by an individual, or is given to an individual by others. In the story the peruser can see the significance of capacity to Sykes and the various methods for dread and cheating to recover the force that he lost. Delia earned her capacity through harak work and determination. Zora Neale Hurston builds up a force battle in the story, and exhibits that force is certifiably not a consistent thing and it can move.
