East of Eden is my favorite book, so I’m honestly really disappointed by some of these changes. The Hamiltons are such an important part of the heart, history, and philosophy of the novel, and changing Cathy’s character this much worries me too. I understand that adaptations have to make cuts, but this is one of those books where the details and themes are the whole point. I really, really hope they haven’t stripped away what makes East of Eden so extraordinary.
