The characters in "Of Mice and Men" are marginalized due to factors such as disability (Lennie), ethnicity (Crooks), and gender (Curley's wife). These characteristics set them apart from the dominant social group on the ranch, leading to their alienation and lack of power or agency in the story.
They're all shown in a negative way:
George - for bullying Lennie when he was younger
Lennie - for what the 'near rape' in their previous town and for killing multiple things including Curley's wife
Candy - for being a gossip about people on the ranch
Curley - for picking on Lennie in the fight and for showing anyone respect
Crooks - for being a bitter person who won't invite people to his room
Curley's wife - for not being loyal to her husband and causing arguments on the ranch
Slim - for not defending Candy for his dog being shot
Carlson - for shooting Candys dog
