on the road. His temperament is what also differs from the other characters; Dean cheats on his wife multiple times, he’s a constant nomad who is unable to settle in one place or with one woman. In Mortenson’s article “Beating Time: Configurations of Temporality in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road”, he describes, “Dean is frenetically living in the moment, trying to stay within the ever-unfolding horizon of the ‘now’....Dean accepts the belief that life must be lived in the present and practices this knowledge

the novel, On the Road, Sal’s and Deans’ relationship is different than any other characters in the novel. Sal clearly makes Dean out to be a hero. As for Dean, Sal is amazingly not judgmental of the not-so-nice things Dean does. For example, Dean abandons him to starve in San Francisco, Sal agrees passively with Marylou that it was not a nice thing to do, but doesn’t speculate too much on his own as to the rudeness of his friend (cite).

The character, Nick Carraway would be portrayed by Timothee Chalamet. Timothee Chalamet is an American actor. He began his career in short films, but he has been getting more exposure especially from the recent Oscars. I believe Timothee would play this role best , because he is so transparent and non judgemental in real life. He is quite young, so he would be very committed and focused on being the best Nick possible. From the films that I have seen with Timothee in them have been absolutely exceptional

Despite only appearing in three films Jimmys Deian became a culture acon who was copied by generation of actors. East of Eden is his first of those and parphabes the more impulsive because of it is all subtlety and naivete. Elia Kazan’s decision to cast Dean in the role of Cal was a good one, but some parts of the film are dated or unexceptional, even for that era. Nevertheless, East of Eden is still good and saved by Dean’s acting and timeless themes. So,the use of cinema escope makes the wise flat

Secondly Cathy murdered her parents in a fire so she could run away from her life and responsabilities that came with growing up
