    There is no such thing as a “bad” or “good” person. There are ideals that people strive for in society, but there are no right and wrong ways to be a person. Because Steinbeck brings attention to the possible reasons for why people act the way they do, he doesn’t seem to find that humans are inherently good nor evil, rather there are evil things that can corrupt a good person.
