| dc.description.abstract | In Steinbeck’s EAST OF EDEN one character is dark: Cathy. Referring to her, Steinbeck writes: “There are monsters born.” No conscience-- but Cathy has perspectives-- on others’ weaknesses and inadequacies and exploits them in self-interest. One of the criticisms made of Steinbeck’s novel is that Cathy is unbelievable-she can’t be real. Steinbeck’s counterargument would be if you believe in saints, you must also believe in the possibility of a Cathy. | |
