BIBLICAL MOTIVES IN THE NOVEL <i>OUR WINTER ALERTS</i> BY JOHN STEINBECK
The article is devoted to the analysis of biblical motifs in the novel "Winter of our Anxiety", the identification and description of their artistic functions. It is argued that theinclusion of biblical motives contributes to the disclosure of the moral problems of the novel and allows one to compare the events depicted with spiritual processes in the life of American society in the 60-s of the 20th century.
