This turtle in chapter 3 of The Grapes of Wrath faces the ultimate test of will. Steinbeck characterizes the turtle as a hero by describing the environment around the road and how the turtle overcomes his challenges. The turtle foreshadows the intense journey that the Joad family will soon take and it represents the strength and perseverance of the human spirit and the ability to rise above adversity.
