Symbols for characters of East of Eden?

Question

i have to do this school project, part of which is to come up with symbols for the characters of East of Eden (all of the Hamiltons and all of the Trasks). I'm kinda having trouble with some of them, especially the not so major characters. Any suggestions for any characters? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

think about the wizard of oz.  i could really only remember the evil lady who didn't wince or cry when she had an abortion.  so the tin man - right, no heart.  

then that one kid had no courage, couldn't stand up to his brother  so whoever that was in oz.  

sorry there's not more, but don't try to be too imaginative.  just have fun with some everyday things people can connect with.
