    When Adam sees that Joseph is alive, they have a reunion, Adam says, “I threw myself into his big arms and let him hold me as tight as if I was a little shaver and he be my own father” (Fast 126). This sets up the fact that Joseph is concerned about Adam and sees him as his own son. He even makes Adam share a cold meat pie with him when they are waiting for the redcoats. Joseph said, “Nothing could ever replace Moses in my heart but I could turn to him just as I would a father” (Fast 135). You can tell that when Joseph says that it makes the death of Adam’s father just a little bit easier for him. This is a turning point in the book for both Adam and Joseph because the redcoats had…

    The theme of love is a major underlying cause of many problems within East of Eden for it creates a feeling of rejection by family and lovers. The idea that love is blind becomes the center of revolution for the feelings between Adam Trask and his wife, Cathy. Steinbeck “explores the conflict…between self-imposed blindness and the human need to attain full knowledge” (Owens 4). Adam suffered from the first of the two conflicting traits through the blindness of his love for Cathy. Adam “loved [her] better than anything in the world” whilst “Cathy was a monster” (Steinbeck 323,182). Adam’s love blinded him from seeing the true and fully real Cathy as opposed to the one in the dreams he created. This creates problems when Adam is unable to let go of the woman he thought he loved, and refused to fully embrace life. As consequence to Adam’s actions, his twin son’s, Aron and Caleb, grew up virtually parentless relying on their servant for care and nurturing.…
