| مستخلص: |
John Steinbeck, one of the most enduring American authors of the twentieth century spoke about the social evils which became common and deep rooted in the 1930s America. His works relate to the ordinary people such as migrants who struggle against social forces in order to survive. This paper attempts to highlight John Steinbeck's depiction of the plight of the migrants and their journey towards a better life in California in The Grapes of Wrath (1939). Steinbeck takes historical events such as 'The Great Depression' and 'Dust Bowl' and writes about the common people who lived through these events. His research on California's migrant camps while working for San Francisco News helped him to write about laborers in The Grapes of Wrath (1939). His work combines expectation with desolation, hurt with opportunities, and agony with ethical development. He teaches people to be resilient and to never give up even in tough times.
