good vs evil in east of eden

I am writing my licence paper on the character of Cathy in Steinbeck's "East of Eden" and I refuse to see her as pure evil or so to speak, a simple static character. I don't thnk this was the author's intention. Why else would she commit suicide? Anyway, I wanted to present her as being a good example of la famme fatale, making some references to the film noire as well. What do you think? Could it be?
