The title "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck does not refer to literal grapes. Instead, it symbolizes the suffering and hardship experienced by the Joad family and other migrant workers during the Great Depression.

The term 'grapes of wrath' is a biblical allusion. There is no one element in the story that corresponds to the grapes. It is referring to a passage that talks figuratively aout God judging the wicked by trampling on them like grapes in a winepress. The passage is in The Bible in Revelation 14:14-20.
