The Biblical Mythological Images of American Women in the Novel of Mice and Men
Abstract
This research aims at deconstructing the essential images of women during the period of Puritans
that resided in the deeply mythologized text of John Steinbeck (Of Mice and Men) and this paper is about to
analyze as to how biblical texts are paradigms of inferiority, inasmuch as sacred texts define women as bodies of
sexuality. Henceforth, this research can elucidate the vague side of women in comparison with the religious mini
texts in “Of mice and Men”. We can analyze Steinbeck’s inspiration from the Bible from in order to understand
his personal feedback on women that means we are on the verge of analyzing the social position of women that
lived harshly during the momentum of Great Depression in the American Literature.
