The paper attempts to focus on comparable traditions, scientific and humanistic disciplines. John Steinbeck and S.K. Pottakkad lived at a time when similar political and social problems prevailed in their countries. Both of them throw light on certain traits like behaviour and humanistic vision paying attention to the oppression of people. Both of them bring to light the universal truth that there is no end to the sufferings of human beings on the earth.
