It gives a really good insight to life of the working class (specifically, migrant farmers) in the United States during the Great Depression, and keeps to the general disheartened mood of those who were negatively effected by the depression. It also touches on developmental disabilities and how those with such disabilities were treated.
Beware: there are references of animal and character deaths in this book - both of which are graphic-ish

This book, I think, approaches racism and sexism from a critical point of view. The sole Black character tries explaining racism to the white characters and we see the unfair treatment of him by Curley and his wife. The only woman who plays a role in the story is named “Curley’s wife,” but we see throughout the story that she has her own identity. Steinbeck definitely wasn’t as conscious of racial and gender biases as I would hope, but he approaches discrimination in a way that highlights the hypocrisies of it.
