Chapter five: the feels man.

I really feel for the farmers in chapter 5, I feel like Steinbeck is really emphasizing his sympathy for them. We don't get much information about the men who work for the banks other than the fact that they have to do what they're told in order to support their families. I wonder if they hide their emotions; lock them away somewhere deep in their minds so they don't get hurt? Wouldn't it hurt to watch your neighbors, people you know, people you may like or love have to leave everything they have with nothing and no where to go; let alone be the one to tell them that they must? And what about the landowners and their families?
