In John Steinbeck’s, East of Eden, the characters go through difficult obstacles to get to where they want to be in their lives; whether the obstacles are internal or external. In this passage, one can see the conflict that Charles has within himself when writing to Adam, his half brother. This is done by the authors use of graceless diction, by choosing words like “scratch,” “splash,” and “race,” giving Charles’ letter a distressed or hurried tone, his repeated use of dashes throughout the passage

In East of Eden, John Steinbeck explores human knowledge of good and evil, and the power of free will man holds. This book is about choices and understanding - the struggle to grasp and understand the fight between moral extremes, and the choice man has to pick and choose on what side of the spectrum he lies. East of Eden explores extremely differentiating types of people - some with a nature holy enough to mirror prophets, and some disturbed to their very core, only to be described as ‘monsters’

In East of Eden, Steinbeck explores the inherent power of choice over evil by characterizing Cal Trask and his struggle to recognize this power within himself. From a young age, Cal feels condemned to act on his sinful impulses because of his mother’s evil constitution.

For the first time, they lacked their parents’ guidance and had to pursue life to their own instinct, which helped them develop their personalities and character more than any teacher back in the Key could have ever prepared them for.

John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. was born in the farm and ranch based town of Salinas, California to the county treasurer and his wife on February 27, 1902.

This chapter is going to deal with the word and the concept of Timshel, which has an outstanding and maybe the most prominent role in East of Eden. It is Steinbeck’s message to his readers, and he tried to deliver it in a very interesting way as it is the last word the main character Adam says on his deathbed. David Stewart McCright in his thesis East of Eden: Steinbeck’s proclamation of human greatness suggests a very interesting role that Timshel has in East of Eden. He says that this was for the

seclusion in Curley’s wife which made her want company from Lennie. In addition, at the start of the sixth chapter the description of the setting almost literally summarises the whole chapter. A topic sentence if you like. “The deep green pool of the Salinas River was still in the late afternoon. Already the sun had left the valley to go climbing up the slopes of the Gabilan Mountains, and the hilltops were rosy in the sun. But by the pool among the mottled sycamores, a pleasant shade had fallen.” This
