The portraits of Steinbeck's brothers and sisters represent good and evil of each character in the story. The nature of good and evil as a natural choice, even among brothers and sisters, can be seen as a competition of either body, heart, emotion. Brothers from the biblical characters reflect Steinbeck's characters in every concept in the novel.
