Moral Disintergration of America Exposed in The Winter of Our Discontent

In the winter of our frustrated winter, the ethical collapse of our frustrated winter Ethan Allen Hawley's life has long kept constant immoral ethical standards, and unexpected irreversible changes will occur I am doing. Likewise, he is not alone; all recent advances in Baytown are decreasing like the "increasingly regular" (196) jet aircraft at nearby Templeton Airport. As they arrive, new varieties are increasingly focused on material wealth rather than honesty and principles more and more.

Steinbeck's last novel, "Our Winter of Discontent" (1961), explores the moral demise of America. The main character Ethan is dissatisfied with his own moral degeneration and the moral collapse of the people around him. This book has a very different tone from Steinbeck 's immoral and ecological position in earlier works such as Tortilla Flat and Cannery Row. This is not an important success. Many critics are aware of the importance of this novel, but I am disappointed that it is not another angry grape. But at the Nobel Prize awards ceremony next year, the Swedish Academy quoted it the best. "Here, he reached the same standard as set in" angry grapes ". A method that depends on trust asserts the status of being an independent interpreter of truth. A genuine American, instinctive, good or evil.

Steinbeck's last two novels - "East of Eden" (1952) and "We are dissatisfied in the winter" (1961) - show a return to the past. As he painted a fictitious explanation of his mother's family, the eastern part of Eden returned to his familiar California environment. Our frustrated winter pays attention to the past advantage. In the 1950s, Steinbeck continued to express his social and political views in a new way. He helped to write a speech of the presidential election campaign in 1952 and 1956. He also served as a consultant to President Johnson. Steinbeck was a consulting service during the conflict in Vietnam and was awarded American free medal in 1964.
