What is the meaning of grapes of wrath?
In Steinbeck’s book the Grapes of Wrath the title can be interpreted in many ways. I believe that Steinbeck is using the grapes a symbol of plenty and renewal. If your read the end of chapter 25 the quote “In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage” means that the migrant people are feeling a growing hatred for the low standard way of living in California. The idea of the people longing for vintage means that they are longing for jobs, a life, and the feeling of being treated like humans.
