Though Adam and Eve and Equality 7-2521 all developed in environments of utopian perfection, they experienced different freedoms and restrictions in their lives.

Steinbeck bases his novel, East of Eden, around the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. When Cyrus favors Adam 's birthday gift over Charles ', the jealous Charles nearly beats Adam to death. Similarly, the next generation of brothers, Cal and Aron, are doomed to the same fate and further follow the characteristics of the Cain and Abel fable. In their case, Adam rejects Cal’s birthday present of $15,000, and as a result, Cal kills Aron’s innocence through him showing Aron their mother, a prostitute. Ironically, when Adam first hears of the story of Cain and Abel, he feels outraged at God for favoring Abel at what appears to be at random.

“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). John Steinbeck’s work, East of Eden, is the one he considered to be his greatest, with all novels before leading up to it. Indeed, it grandly recounts the stories of the human race as told by the Bible, including Adam and Eve, but most prominently that of Cain and Abel. It touches upon both Steinbeck’s own family and a fictional family in a depiction of “man 's capacity for both good and evil” (Fontenrose). Joseph Fontenrose, however, criticizes Steinbeck’s message as contradictory and convoluted, with no clear relationship between good and evil.
