found within Genesis and is about the creation of man, the first one is named Adam. Adam was created out of dust in God’s image. He was placed within a utopia, the Garden of Eden, with all the provisions he needed to live in happiness forever. However, this predetermined destiny never came to be.

In the East of Eden, John Steinbeck uses a biblical metaphor to illustrate the innate good and evil that humans encounter. The novel includes several characters that are purely evil or do evil deeds.

Robert Frost’s 1923 poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay, is referred to in the novel. The author deliberately includes the poem to reject the idea of Nothing Gold Can Stay; show how growing up can force us to get rid of our innocence; and to show the connection between the boys losing their ‘paradise’ and the poem. The concept of

who started the story off as simply a “selfish” British boy now has a “compulsion to kill”. Jack’s evil nature is starting to appear and this nature is “swallowing him up”. This connects to The Garden of Eden because in that story it is shown that Adam and Eve start out innocent, but as time goes on their natural evil is released and they sin by taking the apple from the tree.

In the story, God told Adam to not eat from the forbidden tree, or his predetermined fate would be death, and it can be inferenced that he would also go to hell.
