East of Eden (pg 76-100)

Monster. Cathy seemed like she was going to be one of the finest young ladies in town: fair skinned, uniquely bueatiful, and very educated. However, she turned out to be a cold hearted, emotionless creature that had no compassion, even towards her loving parents. Cathy never lived the childhood of an ordinary little girl. She was found half naked in a barn with two boys and her arms tied, she witnessed the corpse of her teacher who had committed suicide with a shotgun; this isn't even the beginning. As the 4th 25 pages of the novel unravels, Cathy shows her true colors: she burns her house down, steals her parents money, and runs off to a whorehouse in search of work. In her plight to find work, Cathy encounters a pimp named Mr. Edwards who funs a successful ring of prostitutes all over the county. Now Mr. Edwards falls in love with Cathy, he sees in her qualities not fitting for a prostitutes, so he keeps her for his own private affairs.

Why did Cathy leave home and become a prostitute? Is Cathy evil? Why or why not? Why is Cathy so cold hearted and callous? Why did Cathy leave her potentially successful life and pursue a career in prostitution?
