SEMANTIC AMBIGUITY

This answer is supported on page 50.

One example of ambiguity in "Of Mice and Men" is the relationship between George and Lennie. Their dynamic is complex and multifaceted, with elements of caregiving, friendship, and power dynamics, leading to ambiguity about the true nature of their bond. Another example is the character of Curley's wife, who is portrayed as both flirtatious and lonely, leading to ambiguity about her intentions and motivations throughout the story.

The Ethics of Ambiguity was created in 1947.
