:Other Steinbeck titles are also allusions; "Of Mice and Men" to Robert Burns; "The Winter of Our Discontent" to Shakespeare (Richard the III?); "In Dubious Battle" to Milton; "East of Eden" to the book of Genesis (the entire novel alluding to BIblical themes); "Burning Bright" to Blake; all to reasonably familiar sources that readers could be expected to recognize.
