    Everyone will sympathize with this Cain. Christians who abide by the precepts do not know true love, they only welcome people who are also "correct", and finally scolding nurses is a life that has finally given up. A woman cannot comfort a man with a paternity disorder without being a bridge. An extremely fragile, craving rebellious boy like Dean may have no chemical reaction with a woman, only a man can support...

    Human sin is not only in evil, but also in self-righteous good. Carl is jealous of his father's love for Aaron, but he actually has a good side. He longs for his father's love and desires to protect Aaron, but he has not received love, so he uses extreme methods to release his evil. Human nature has always been...

    A variation of the story of Abel and Cain in the Bible. Byron's Cain is a rebel, while Kazan's Cain is just a sensitive and fragile child who longs for love. All his rebellion, willfulness and coldness are the fermentation of loneliness and jealousy. James Dean is really a good actor by nature. He conquered the audience as soon as he opened his mouth. His uninhibited and sincere temperament is really pure and...

    A father's preference for his children may not require a special reason. But God, God is expected to be fair. However, in the child's small world, the father's position is often equal to that of God; then, because the world is small, the damage he suffers becomes greater in...

    James plays Carl's jealousy with a childlike innocence that is heart-wrenching. In fact, the father's partiality is in the final analysis a kind of stubbornness to his own thoughts. Carl is the freedom of the mother, and Aaron has inherited the integrity of the father. The father can never forgive himself for falling in love with the "desire" represented by the mother, so this intolerance leads to the final tragedy. This may be the director's deconstruction of the story of Cain and Abel, not...

East of Eden quotes

  • [Abra pleads with Adam to reconcile with his son]

    Abra: Mr. Trask, it's awful not to be loved. It's the worst thing in the world. Don't ask me - even if you could - how I know that. I just know it. It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel. And that's the way Cal has always felt, Mr. Trask. All his life! Maybe you didn't mean it that way - but it's true. You never gave him your love. You never asked for his. You never asked him for one thing.

  • Abra: But you must give him some sign, Mr. Trask, some sign that you love him... or he'll never be a man. All his life he'll feel guilty and alone unless you release him.
