"The Gilded Six-Bits" is a 1933 short story by Zora Neale Hurston, who is considered one of the pre-eminent writers of 20th-century African-American literature and a leading prose writer of the Harlem Renaissance.
 Hurston was a relative newcomer on the literary scene when this short story was published, but eventually had greater success with her highly acclaimed novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God".
 "The Gilded Six-Bits" is now published in Hurston's compilation of short stories entitled "Spunk" in which it is now considered one of her best stories.
 "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 regional 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.
