Tian, Junwu. Qian lun yue han : Sitanbeike de ju ben xiao shuo [ID D30671].
Tian discusses Of mice and men, The moon is down and The pearl. He uses evidence from the three stories to prove that they all contain dramatic elements : themes about the struggle between good and veil, which is 'the only struggle that creates suspense' ; a staged structure in which there is a high concentration of characters, plot, and scenes ; the dramatic conflict between beautiful dreams and a destructive evil spirit ; and a narrative consisting of language much like stage directions and dramatic dialogue. He concludes that the Broadway success of plays adapted from these novelettes proved that Steinbeck's experiments in dramatic fiction were highly fortuitous.
