When I first read East of Eden in my teen years, I fell in love, with Kazan told Deadline.

More than everything, I wanted to fully represent Cathy Ames, the stunning, unique antiheroine of the book.

The plot of Steinbeck’s 1952 book East Of Eden spans a massive timeline that runs from the Civil War to the end of World War I.

The Trask family is the focus of the book’s last chapters, particularly the controversy involving Adam, his wife Cathy, and their kids Cal and Aron.
