초록보기

 John Steinbeck captured and presented in The Grapes of Wrath the scene of the face of good and evil losing the natural functions. Bringing into question the limitations of good and evil the existing religion adhered to, he kept on deconstructing the good and evil of the existing religion. The idea that human love the former preacher, Casy's guilty conscience and good conscience led for happiness is superior to ostensible Christ love denies current religious sentiment, urging search toward the innovative religion. Having a distinct social viewpoint, Casy reported the populace's pain of the day plainly and defined it as evil. To get over it, he stressed that people are good beings progressing for higher purposes together with Nature. In the social evil resulting from fruitfulness the classes of vested rights fostered, the populace deconstructed social good and evil that protect the upper class and then probed a new concept of the good, reclaimed by destitution in their own way. They make it incessant strategy that forming a group activity, one that anybody can take, they can realize the new good earlier. Furthermore they evolve the foundation of their own new good beyond the existing fixed ideology of social good.

Steinbeck's study on good and evil deepens in The pearl which deals with Kino finding the pearl of the world. The town-shaking discovery immediately effects people of all social standings, their sense of good and evil threw an image on the pearl frankly, and a sense of good and evil in human society is exposed one after another. The deeply-rooted oppression hidden in the system of society set up by white domination is a great eye opener for Kino. His awakening to social malice caused him to be faced with terrible danger and sufferings, for he refused the existing routine of life against evil on entire society, and pursued new good guaranteeing his family's greater happiness. In this mean white-centered society Kino who lived a happy life along with Nature falls into the error of pursuing avarice owing to the discovery of the pearl. Afterward he recognizes that the extreme desire with which he wants to own the marvelous power of the rifle is the cardinal point that would cause the death of his son, Coyotito. He eventually shows real wisdom by returning the pearl to the bosom of Nature so that he might realize the virtue of the mean to enable him to return to the original balanced life. Not only does this mean the birth of new good but also of his symbolic gesture to grow a mature happiness.

Furthermore Steinbeck has a thorough knowledge of the theory of good and evil in that good and evil are opposed to each other, produce multidirectional discrepancy, and develop human life into something invaluable and profound. On the basis of the theory he also augurs the ultimate possibility of new human happiness in East of Eden. Offering access routes connected with philosophy, science, religion, and so on, he contrasts good against evil by describing characters' record of performances and psychological traits and sets up the plural borderlines between them. The borderline is not simply to divide both but to supply an access route that the compound pair can communicate with each other, which lets the generalized sense of good and evil go forward. In addition, he emphasizes that all men admit free will of choice, so the responsibility for all outcomes belongs to individuals. This asserts that because men are independent creatures not subordinate to God, executing their own important choice, they should not submit to the restraint of good and evil and should progress towards the highest good. Because good and evil indispensably continue to interact and coexist intricately, men should grasp the operating mechanism, systematically develop it into a virtuous life, and eventually achieve human nature happiness which is the ultimate target of John Steinbeck's view of good and evil. With the material and spiritual legacy the fruit of good and evil Cal obsessed with guilty conscience will harvest in his own free will is another innovative by-product of John Steinbeck's good and evil-coexisting mechanism, that good is always evolving side by side with evil.
