It deals with one family's struggle to survive duting the Great Depression. It deals with how some people are able to maintain dignity during desperate hardship and some are not.

It is my opnion that Steinbeck wanted to tell, and was trying to tell, the story of an incipient Communist revolution in America but his natural talent and honesty as a writer wouldn't let him do it. He keeps just having to make tangential references to things related to his Socialist ideals and then is forced back to a realistic story about strong and free people dealing with what life gives them.
