The Winter of Our Discontent What is the theme in The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 05:33 Last updated by Cat on 07 Dec 03:02
Another theme involves darkness and light. The author consistently uses daytime, night, stormy dark weather, suffused lighting, and many other dark/light phrases to create moods and foreshadowing in the story.
