ReplyDeleteSamuel and Lee discussing choices, how Steinbeck shows choice and instances of having fate and control
Interpretation of the Bible being fate and free will
Lee’s translation and dedication to getting people he met in San Francisco to follow his ideas
Hid English to make others feel more powerful and comfortable
Lost in translation
Thoust mayest; overcome and pull through to path of righteousness
Puts the power into the people instead of telling the ending
Charles: set up to think him and Adam will have a ‘Cain and Abel’ ending but they end up owning their own lives
Connects to the Odyssey (Fate and Free Will)
Pg. 274; Una’s death is different in describing Samuel’s death, Samuel dies when Una dies
Pg 306-307 repetition of the word “shining”
Samuel’s transcendence, doesn’t die in a conventional way
Breaks the mold of who he is as a person to expose Adam to Kathy’s behavior
Focuses a lot on Samuel and Adam; shift in perspective from Steinbeck’s point of view
Samuel’s death is not an ending; more like a transition into the second period of the book, because it is insinuated; stays alive in spirit
Reason why Steinbeck never gives a death scene to Sam is because he continues to live and be relevant forever
Not letting yourself sink deeper
