Published by SciPress Ltd, Switzerland, 2018 Online: 2018-06-11 Steinbeck’s East of Eden: Redefining the Evil within Cathy Ames 1,a* Bianca Saputra 1James B. Conant High School, Hoffman Estates, USA a*[email protected] Keywords: Archetypes, Feminism, East of Eden, Cathy Ames, John Steinbeck, Literary Theory Abstract. East of Eden, published in 1952, has been criticized as both feminist and misogynistic in nature. This contrasting criticism can be attributed to the varied interpretations of female roles in the novel. This paper aims to examine East of Eden using feminist and archetypal theory. Archetypal theory studies roles characters play through fundamental and inherited symbols. These symbols are thematic associations that are common to humanity in general. Feminist theory analyzes texts based on how power is manipulated to establish the dominance or subordination of either gender. In particular, feminist theory studies how females claim, assert or subvert power for themselves. Coupled together, the theories seek to understand how established conventions influence the female experience. By analyzing the intersection between the roles portrayed by the women in the Salinas Valley and societal expectations, this paper intends to explore the influence of tradition on decision making. 1. Introduction Children are taught from a young age to fear monsters; in fact, part of the reason monsters are so alarming is due to the fact that they represent inner darkness that no one wishes to acknowledge.

D. /'----I Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies Date: April 4", 2008 ABSTRACT The radical literary tradition of the 1930‟s inspired many American authors to become more concerned with the struggle of the proletariat. John Steinbeck is one of these authors. Steinbeck‟s novels throughout the 1930‟s and 1940‟s display a lack of agreement with the common Communist principles being portrayed by other radical novelists, but also a definite alignment with several more basic Marxist principles.

  • Timshel: the Monomyth in East of Eden
    Walker 1 Nikkita Walker Timshel: The Monomyth in East of Eden Throughout 1951 the American author John Steinbeck was entrenched in writing what he considered was the book he had “been practicing for all of my life”( Letters 408). It was to be written as though addressed to his young sons, “so simple in its difficulty that a child can understand it”( Journal 6); a novel about what Steinbeck called “perhaps the greatest story of all - the story of good and evil, of strength and weakness… how neither can exist without the other and how out of their groupings creativeness is born”( Journal 4). In December of 1951 he delivered the manuscript of his novel, East of Eden , enclosed in a beautifully carved wooden box to his publisher and close friend Pascal Covici with a letter which said “here’s your box. Nearly everything I have is in it and it is not full. All pain and excitement is in it and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts – the pleasure of design and some despair and the indescribable joy of creation…And still the box is not full”( Letters 433). Steinbeck’s East of Eden utilizes mythical and Biblical stories to create an allegorical bridge to understanding what he considered “the basis of all human neurosis - and if you take the fall along with it, you have the total of the psychic troubles that can happen to a human” (Journal 104). Joseph Campbell, a literary theorist and contemporary with Steinbeck had elaborated on this same concept in 1949 in his work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces , wherein he posited that, universally, the story at the heart of mythology is an awareness of the human ability to consciously act, “the hero is the champion of things becoming, not of things become, because he is ”(Campbell 225).

  • Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck
    Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck Discussion & Activities Guide Parental warning: This story contains profanity and mature themes. Parents and teachers should preview before determining if this is an appropriate book for their students. Discuss the following elements with your student, as a whole class, or pair students up for discussion and then present ideas back to whole group/class. John Steinbeck Research Steinbeck’s life and background. In many literary works the setting (where the story takes place) is different from the context (when & where the writer lived), but in Steinbeck’s stories the setting is when and where he lived. Steinbeck was born in 1902, in Salinas, California, which is also the setting for Of Mice and Men. As a teenager, Steinbeck spent summers working as a hired hand on ranches, and many of his characters are based on people he met. Discuss how a writer is reflected in his or her writing. Why is it important to understand who a writer is when reading his/her work? Why do you need to be aware of bias and agenda? Discuss how the story Of Mice and Men specifically reflects Steinbeck. Encourage students to be as specific as possible, with passages from the text. Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962 Watch his full speech at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SKEODtaQUU Steinbeck declared, “…. the writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man’s proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit—for gallantry in defeat, for courage, compassion and love.

  • READING JOHN STEINBECK ^ Jboctor of $Iitldfi
    DECONSTRUCTING AMERICA: READING JOHN STEINBECK ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ JBoctor of $IitlDfi;opI)p IN ENGLISH \ BY MANISH SINGH UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MADIHUR REHMAN DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2013 Abstract The first chapter of the thesis, "The Path to Doom: America from Idea to Reality;'" takes the journey of America from its conception as an idea to its reality. The country that came into existence as a colony of Great Britain and became a refuge of the exploited and the persecuted on one hand and of the outlaws on other hand, soon transformed into a giant machine of exploitation, persecution and lawlessness, it is surprising to see how the noble ideas of equality, liberty and democracy and pursuit of happiness degenerated into callous profiteering. Individuals insensitive to the needs and happiness of others and arrogance based on a sense of racial superiority even before they take root in the virgin soil of the Newfoundland. The effects cf this degenerate ideology are felt not only by the Non-White races within America and the less privileged countries of the third world, but even by the Whites within America. The concepts of equality, freedom, democracy and pursuit of happiness were manufactured and have been exploited by the American ruling class.The first one to experience the crawling effects of the Great American Dream were original inhabitants of America, the Red Indians and later Blacks who were uprooted from their home and hearth and taken to America as slaves.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
