'It must be very nice. I wish women could do such things'" (Steinbeck 182)
After seeing the chrysanthemums that she had given the salesman thrown onto the ground, she can no longer believe the words that he told her. When forced back into female domination, Elias "remains a pitiable victim of male domination and female disadvantage" (Renner 306)
