초록
John Steinbeck is a writer who has a wide knowledge of literature and styles. First of all, he wants to show us the way of dignified life and the man’s existence and reality. His works tend to express the consensus between man and nature. Since 1950’s, his work’s trend has changed from the man’s biological analysis to the human beings themselves. East of Eden depicting the Trasks’ history from the Civil War to World War I is one of the Steinbeck’s best works. As the title shows, Steinbeck explains the conflict between good and evil in man’s inner heart based on the biblical tale of Cain and Abel. Through the conflicts of good and evil on the Trasks’ three generations, man usually has an evil intention but he can remove it by his own strong will. The main topic of this novel is the hidden meaning of a Hebrew verb, timshel, in Genesis IV. 7. Steinbeck reveals the word is reasonably and truly more closer to the man’s free will. He thinks men have the free will to choose either good or evil and they have to take a responsibility for their own choice. I think Steinbeck presents us the way of living with dignity through the restoration of morality.
