So I read the first couple of chapters for The Grapes of Wrath, and it is already messing with my characterization thought process. I thought Joad was a normal guy, but turns our, he is delinquent because he commited homicide. WTF

  1. Well he did seem a bit suspicious when he's careful waiting and watching for the truck driver, and how the truck driver describes Joad.

  2. Committing homicide doesn't necessarily make you a delinquent in literature; it's all about the motive and circumstances.

  3. True. It adds levels a depth to the character. He is quite interesting though.

  4. Incredibly unusual. I'm hoping there will be more detail of the incident in the later chapters to get more insight on his psyche.
