The tale of the Joad family embodies the hardships suffered during the Great Depression and the transcendent generosity of human nature in the face of adversity. The natural world sets the events in motion during the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma and brings the journey to a hopeful end in California with massive floods. THE GRAPES OF WRATH is the story of a rising collective consciousness, a story of “we” instead of “I.”
