He was rubbing some liniment onto his back to relieve the pain, he kept doing it every couple of seconds giving you the idea it was really painful.
Crooks was in his room reading a book when Lennie came to talk to him. He was initially defensive and cautious when Lennie entered because he was used to being isolated due to his race.
Crooks was happy that Lennie and Candy came into his room because it gave him a chance for social interaction and he enjoyed their company. However, he was also sad because he was used to being isolated due to his race and didn't expect to have visitors in his room.
Crooks first says Lennie is not welcome in his room because he doesn't want anyone there. He tries to push Lennie away to protect himself and to maintain his personal space.
because he was loney and there used to be segration ,crook is aloof doesn't want Lennie in the room is because Lennie is white .but like i said there used to be segregation back then.
Crooks says he needs somebody to talk to, like Lennie and George have each other. He expresses his desire for companionship and a sense of belonging, just like the other characters.
he doesn't want to let lennie in his room because lennie is white and crooks, being black, isn't allowed in the white bunk house, so why should a white man be allowed in his room? he changes his mind because he wants someone to talk to and feels grateful for the company.
Lennie is one of the few people that Crooks has power over. Lennie had just trespassed in Crook's room. Crooks is teasing Lennie, because he knows that Lennie depends on George to make every decision for him. When Lennie thinks this is true, he gets really worried. Because he is gulible, he believes him so easily.

In "Of Mice and Men," the workers gather in Crook's room because he is the only black man on the ranch and is isolated from the others due to his race. They connect with each other in the room because they all share a sense of loneliness and marginalization, which creates a bond among them.
He's reading and wishing he didn't have a crooked back/wasn't black
Crooks is reading a book in the harness room at the beginning of Chapter 4. He is engrossed in the story until Lennie enters the room.
