Notes: Winter of Our Discontent is John Steinbeck's last novel published in 1961. The title comes from the first two lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun of York". The story concerns mainly Ethan Allen Hawley a former member of Long Island's aristocratic class. Ethan's late father lost the family fortune and thus Ethan works as a grocery store clerk. His wife Mary and their children resent their mediocre social and economic status and do not value the honesty and integrity that Ethan struggles to maintain amidst a corrupt society. These external factors and his own psychological turmoil lead Ethan to try to overcome his inherent integrity in order to reclaim his former status and wealth.<br><br>John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. 1902 – 1968 was an American author.
