John Steinbeck's East of Eden pt. 5 (pgs 15-175) picks off when Adam and Cathy, the newlyweds *shudders*, moved to California. The relationship between Adam and Charles broke down after Cathy, but Adam only had eyes for Cathy. They moved to a ranch close to the Hamiltons, and Adam began to work on his ranch, with the help of Samuel Hamilton. Meanwhile, Cathy, now pregnant *yippe!!......not!* , stayed at home with Lee, their Chinese servant, who begins to play a significant role in the story. Steinbeck also described Samuel Hamilton's daughters, Olive in particular, and he discussed her strict personality. In this section, more and more people started to see Cathy for what she really was. First, Lee felt the uneasiness about her, and when Samuel met her, he felt the extreme hatred and evil.
Question: Why is it that Lee and Samuel could REALLY see Cathy, and Adam couldnt?

because sam and lee paid attention to her actions and adam was too blinded by her looks :D
Adam is a fool! He is a guy who has fallen for things before (the army), obsesses over it, and wont let anything detract from his delusion. And Cathy is in no way different.
Adam is an idiot, he is completely infatuated with a girl who was knocked up by his brother. Adam is blind. However, Lee and Samuel see Cathy as something to be feared. They sense no trace of humanity in her and Adam is an airhead.
