Adam is discharged from the military, and afterwards longs for his regiment. He ends up going back. His attachment to something that typically requires aggression is curious given his earlier beatings by Charles, which gave the impression that he was certainly deficient in much aggression.
The relation between Adam and Charles enters a new phase with the death of Cyrus. With the death came a large sum of money; a fortune that surprises them. It is worth noting that the impression by this point is that the hostility between Adam and Charles seems to have gone away.
Steinbeck decided to throw in another character. Cathy Ames. She is an odd character who uses her sexuality to get two boys in a barn severely beaten. Yup.
What could be expected from the introduction of Cathy into the story?
