The reason for the title of Grapes of Wrath is a song called Battle Hymn of the Republic, Steinbeck got the idea of Grapes of Wrath from that. The importance of the quote is that the migrant people are becoming angry at how bad they have been treated. Just as the grapes grow heavy, the wrath of the people about their starving and suffering grows.
