East of Eden pt. 3

The next 25 pages of John Steinbeck's novel East of Eden describes the relationship between Adam and Charles after Adam comes back from the war. Charles missed his brother a lot when he was gone, so when Adam returned, their relationship became less tense. They talked a lot more than they had before and bacame closer. In this section, Cyrus, the brothers' father, died and left them rich, so the brothers begin to discuss what to do with their money. They have an argument on whether Cyrus earned his thousands honestly. Additionally, we are introduced to a new character: Catherine Ames. Cathy was a lonely, inhuman girl who lied and manipulated for her personal gain. Steinbeck goes into detail about her past and how there was always something uneasy about her.

Question: If Cathy ever met with the Trask brothers, would she change the relationship for better or worse?

Hi seleste!! lol well to answer ur question, seeing how Cathy was introduce and her ways of gain it is likely that she can tear the brothers apart, but if one sees her true self, they would help each other out one way or another =]
