Write a literary essay about an intercalary chapter of The Grapes of Wrath. Your essay should
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The structure of the novel “The Grapes of Wrath ” is unusual.

Explanation:

The structure of “The Grapes of Wrath ” by “John Steinbeck” is quite unconventional. There are narrative chapters in which the narrator is omnipresent and sees everything and is aware about all the thoughts and actions of all the characters. But, in the intercalary chapters, there is a pause in the main narrative and the narrator changes. The views on this break is mixed, some feel that it is frustrating, and the two distinct sections of the novel are not properly related, others say that this has been thoughtfully by John Steinbeck.

The characters in the novel face a lot of conflicts because they are forced to travel away from their homes to California. They migrate as farmers ion hope of achieving success during The Great Depression.

The intercalary chapters in the novel are also called the 'inner chapters', which do not directly affect John but indirectly convey the inputs on the struggles of the characters. The main reason of the intercalary chapters is to give an idea about how the world (social and economic system of the world) was during that time to the readers. Many literary techniques are applied in the “intercalary chapters”. Most common is dramatization. Use of monologues and dialogues show the historical reasons behind the events that are occurring in the story. For example, how farmers were forced so sell their lands and how drought forced the farmers to migrate to a new place. The language used in the novel, specially in the structures of King James Bible reflect about the moral beauty of the novel. These lines give the novel a spiritual touch as well.
