Quote #10
Outside Delia heard a cry that might have come from a maddened chimpanzee, a stricken gorilla. All the terror, all the horror, all the rage that man possibly could express, without a recognizable human sound. (104)
In one of the final scenes of "Sweat" Delia hears her husband suffering and dying, and does nothing to help him. And the extra special touch here is that Hurston compares Sykes to a chimpanzee and a gorilla, something less than human—perfectly fitting to his character.
