Further references contained in the Evidence chapters regarding the Native Americans reiterate the words “exterminate” (260) and verbalize…

    East Of Eden Literary Analysis

    Everyone feels as though their parents love them better than their brothers or sisters. Sometimes that may not be true and the parent loves both kids equally, but other times it may be true. Parental favoritism does not seem too serious of a topic, but it can have a long term negative effect on the non-favored child. The non-favored child might feel unfairly treated and try to gain attention in other ways that might prove to be dangerous and out of the ordinary. In John Steinbeck’s novel East of Eden, we experience the dynamics of a father-son relationship, especially the father favoring one son over the other, which oftentimes was the case in my household. From the very start of the novel we are introduced to Cyrus,…
