Introduction
The Gilded Six-Bits is a story full of love, betrayal, and forgiveness. It portrays the life of two happy newlyweds who both test their relationship and their love for one another when a charismatic outsider comes into their community and into their home. The story embodies Hurston's typical writing style in which it focuses on the common African-American lifestyle, represented by dialect and metaphors, and is set in her native town Eatonville, FL, where it reflects the traditions of the community. The Gilded Six-Bits symbolizes the meaning of a true marriage and the truth that lies underneath its meaning.
