%X By utilizing Lakoff¡¯s conceptual metaphor theory and Fauconnier¡¯s Blending Theory, the article explores and elaborates on three metaphors about ¡°grapes¡± in <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i> in light of the connection between the book¡¯s descriptions and Biblical allusions, namely, ¡°grapes as oppressed toilers,¡± ¡°grapes as hope,¡± and ¡°grapes as abundance.¡± ¡°Grapes are the oppressed toiling masses,¡± ¡°Grapes are hope,¡± and ¡°Grapes are abundance.¡±
