Explanation and Analysis—Snakes and Death:
One of the main literary techniques Zora Neale Hurston uses in her short story "Sweat" is foreshadowing. Throughout the story, there are several references to snakes which hint at the story's conclusion. The use of foreshadowing in "Sweat" creates a sense of suspense and dread for the reader, and a feeling of anticipation that keeps the reader engaged and invested in the story.
