I don’t fully know what I was expecting when I picked up this book, and to be honest I don’t know how to feel now that it’s over. This is the kind of story where a hundred people could read it and take away a hundred different interpretations and lessons. Steinbeck really explores the essence of being a person in so many different ways, from what is “good” or “evil” to how love and affection can change them. Lee is the best character.
