The Meaning of these Grapes of Wrath quotes?
"They breathe profits; they eat the interest on money. If they don't get it, they die the way you die without air, without side-meat."
who are the "they" that they are refering to?
"Men who have created new fruits in the world cannot create a system whereby their fruits may be eaten. And the failure hangs over the State like a great sorrow. ...and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage."
and what does this quote mean?
Okay, I'm almost positive that the first quote is about the rich/bankers. "They" is most certainly the wealthy.
The next quote is...complicated. After searching for work and nearly starving, the depression-era Joad family is in California. The author is trying to say that when you keep people down, when you starve people who truly want to work, it builds inside of them. Their anger grows within their souls, and soon, you have a group of people who will rise up and defeat the system.
