East of Eden Part Two

4. Cathy has various characteristics that depict her as an arrogant character who's words and attitudes are always cold. Samuel notices this when he was talking to her because she refers to people distantly and her cold expression overcomes her character. (pg.173) Cathy hasn't change to this point she is still the monster from the beginning and Lee notices that too, him and Samuel always suspect of her as a strange inhuman kind. In the other hand Charles identified himself with Cathy from the beginning because they had many characteristics in common, they hypocritical with the people around them.

8. I believe Cathy's abandonment brought grief to Adams life because he doesn't obtain an explanation to what he did wrong or why she left him. Also the fact that she even shoots him in order to leave is sort of traumatic. The fact that he didn't take care of the children suggest how his depression over came him because his grief was mainly to himself and the kids for making Cathy leave. Thus he is a good character Adams vulnerability makes his grief appealing to his case because his goodness makes him a victim as well.
