I have read Of Mice and Men, East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath and studying OMAM for my GCSE, so to anyone who has read his other works - can any characters be compared to those in OMAM? I was thinking Cathy from East of Eden and Curley's wife (when talking about women in OMAM), Tom Joad (as a representation of Steinbeck a man who fought for minorities and believed in the power of people) or Samuel from Grapes of Wrath (Candy - fear of old age) So what do you think? Agree? Disagree? Characters i haven't thought of?
