that he dont have nothing to worry about he will be okay
Crooks tells Lennie that if George doesn't return, Lennie will be sent to an asylum or locked up because he is too "dumb" to take care of himself.
Crooks begins to tease Lennie, in that he begins to upset him by telling him that George might not come back. This upsets Lennie because George is the only person he has, and also Lennie feels secure with George by his side. Crooks also teases Lennie due to the racism evident in society during that period. Lennie presents himself as a vulnerable character before Crooks and so he pounces at the opportunity to upset someone else.
that he dont have nothing to worry about he will be okay
Crooks tells Lennie that George might not come back from town, upsetting Lennie and making him worry.
In this chapter, George has gone to Soledad with the rest of the ranchers, as they would often do on Saturday night. Contrary to Crooks' belief however, he has not gone to drink and visit the brothel like the other men. This is revealed when Candy says he has not taken any money with him (because they are saving up to buy the land Goerge has found). During the chapter, Crooks teases Lennie and makes him believe George will not be coming back. George does however come back at the end of the chapter and enters Crooks' room with Candy and Lennie and tells them to LEave Crooks alone.
Croks likes talking to lennie because croks listens to lennie.
One evening, Crooks sits down Lennie and gives him a talk. “‘Well s’pose, jus’ s’pose he don’t come back. What’ll you do then?’” (Steinbeck 72), Crooks says to Lennie about George. Lennie gets quite upset about this. Then Crooks assures him that George is ok, but then goes on to say “Maybe you can see know. You got George. You know he’s goin’ to come back…. S’pose you couldn’t go into the bunkhouse and play rummy ‘cause you was black” (Steinbeck 72). This is Crooks showing Lennie how lucky he is for having someone to always rely on and to always have his back.
Because Crooks has suffered in his past from racism and discrimination in America in the 1930's, and it has made him bitter and twisted. The only way that Crooks can feel better is to make someone else feel what he felt. He isn't neccessarily a bad person, he has just been badly mistreated in the past and wants to feel better.
George tells Lennie to fight back and defend himself if Curley hits him. George wants Lennie to stand up for himself and not allow others to take advantage of him.
