Some of the key themes of The Grapes of Wrath include unity, as expressed by the importance of family bonds to the Joads. Unity and cooperation are apparent in the migrant workers' determination to help one another.

Perserverance is obviously critical as well, as in the memorable scene in chapter three in which the turtle is run over by a truck, but carefully rights himself and resumes his seemingly neverending journey.
