The Theme of "Sweat".

I firmly believe that this theme is a strong and truthful one. "Sweat" Is a pheonix metaphore, where a woman in a abusive marriage, who endures physical as well as mental torment at the hands of her good for nothing, cheating husband, rises up and makes a stand for herself. She grows to reject her tormentor, and this shows nothing but strength and finality in it's core. That is the theme, and it's one a great deal of people should come to understand. Nobody should have to live with that which hurts theme. Nobody should have to live in an environment that is diseased, virulent. Delia grows to understand that, and she takes the matter into her own hands, and becomes active in her retribution, instead of passive in her abuse and neglect. This speaks to me, as a wake up call for anyone who has ever been in this situation, or a similar one. Rise up from the ashes, and realize that there is always a choice to end the suffering.
