Adam Trask favors his son Aron over his son Cal, just as God approved of Abel’s sacrifice over that of Cain’s. Steinbeck uses the allusion of biblical brothers Cain

    the beginning, the author makes the setting play a major role in revealing how Elisa’s psychological state exists in an state of isolation. He includes this even in the description of the weather: “The high gray-flannel fog of winter closed off the Salinas Valley from the sky and from the rest of the world.
