Hi anyone read the monkeys paw bc i need help... like fr this time im stuck on this question number 7 Theme: S. M. Morris says, “...fate ruled people’s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow” (Jacobs 25). This supports the events that follow in the story. Use this theme statement as a guide and provide two quotes from the text that support the statement and explain how they support the theme.-

help please:)

um hi, hope this answer !

the opening scene of "sweat" exposes the great emotional charge of the story. it shows the violence and abuse that dyes the marriage between delia jones and skyes.

skyes decides to terrorize his wife by pulling a bull whip (which resembles a snake), knowing that she is terrified of those animals. skyes laughs cruelly at her and kicks the laundry with which delia has been working hard, telling her to get rid of it. skyes also comments on her religious manners, telling his wife how ridiculous they are. delia reacts by threatening skyes with her frying pan, generating even more conflict
