EAST Eden.

Samuel and Adam become friendly. Despite Liza’s protests that the Trasks are lazy and representative of wealth, Samuel agrees to help renovate the Trask home. While working on the home, Cathy gives birth. Twins. She is angered at this, resulting in an outburst at which Samuel responds by telling her that he dislikes her. Lee also loathes Cathy. And, in this atmosphere of loathing…Cathy shoots Adam in the shoulder.

How has contempt been brewing throughout the book?
