Dora Flood; the whore house Madam with a heart of gold in John Steinbeck’s “Cannery Row” embodies the books major theme. Cannery Row opens with a simple message regaurding the folks that call the row home saying “"Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, 'whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches,' by which he meant Everybody.
