EaSt Of EdEn

in the next 50 pages of East of Eden, we're introduced to a new character, a young girl named Catherine. From an early age, she learned to use her womanly features to gain what she wanted. After burning her parents to death, she ends up living with a Mr. Edwards. He soon finds out what kind of woman she really is: a ruthless, evil young girl; she almost ends up dead. Switching from her story, we go on to learn that Adam, the prodigal son, has returned to the family farm. All that rivalry between the boys had subsided and tension rises regarding their deceased father's money.

why do you think Cathy is like this?

Hi Selene! I believe that Catherine is one of those "rare" women that can't live without a man's affection and money. She feeds off of their money and life in order to get hers on track. Eventhough i said "rare" I know it is definitely not true lol *wink wink* And the men that are around her have to really open their eyes to see the real Catherine =]
