Torment is a noun. According to Merriam Webster, the definition of torment is, “extreme pain or anguish of body or mind”. In “Sweat” by Zora Neal Hurston I found this word on the third page. This word was used to explain the torture or pain Delia is going through because of the snake that her husband brings in the house to scared her. She was abused before but now he’s using her fear to torture her.
