“Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston What is the setting of the story? Is the setting important? Would the story play out differently in another setting? How would you describe Delia? What are the most outstanding character traits of Sykes? Why do you think Delis has stayed with Sykes for as long as she has? Why does she continue to put up with his abuse? Why does Sykes stay with Delia when he seems to prefer Bertha? How does Sykes react to Delia’s first act of defiance? Why has Hurston included the character of Joe Clarke? Why the scene with the men on Clarke’s porch? Is Delia a survivor or a victim? Explain. Define schadenfreude: How does the term apply to this story?------------------------------------------ “The Gilded Six Bits” by Zora Neale Hurston How would you describe the economic conditions of Joe and Missy May’s life? How are Joe and Missy May presented as a married couple? How does Hurston make us aware of Joe’s lack of sophistication? Is this presented in a negative way? How is the newcomer, Slemmons, different from the other men in the small town? What is the source of conflict between Joe and Missy May? Is this a tragedy? Why or why not? How do you react to Hurston’s use of dialect to tell her story?---------------------------------------------------------- “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell Although much of this play is about Minnie Wright, Glaspell keeps her offstage. Why, do you think? What does Glaspell imply about the differences between men and women? Support your response with evidence from the text. What do Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters realize about themselves during the course of the play? To what extent should they feel guilty about their own past behavior? Ultimately, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters cover up evidence to protect Minnie Wright. They seem to act out of loyalty to their sex. How sympathetic are you to their stand? Is this play about freedom and confinement? About the injustice of male domination? About the bonds that hold women together? Or something else? Explain your response? The ending of this play was controversial in its day. Why do you think this was so? Would it be viewed in the same light today?
