Grapes of Wrath "Monster"

To me, the machine is a symbol of destruction and anger. All it does is cut down fields and crops that farmer's have attended to all their lives pretty much, striving over their fields day after day, just to have it taken away from them because the bank doesn't want them there anymore. Whoever is operating this behemith of a tractor, AKA Willy Freely, is also becoming part of a tractor. For a man that operates a tractor all day just for three dollars, is a working monkey for the bank. A poor man who would do anything to feed his family. This Monster is the symbol for machines, capitalism, and humanity. Nothing but unfairness work put towards driving innocent farmers away fro their hard earned and heat scolding lands.
