At the same time, all the characters in “Sweat” are given to elaborate passages of exposition, laying out the histories of their families, their employers, their city. Some of these, such as Tracey’s speech about the devaluing of manual labor, have a poignant lyricism.
I believe it is essential to realize that when characters need to elaborate, they must talk about everything else such as the setting, past, and future of their environment. It is much more effective to argue based on credibility. Any of the characters who bring up discrimination of history, can have a more powerful effect.
