Curley tries acting tough around them both and makes Lennie feel scared when Curley approaches him with his tough demeanour. Candy also tells George that Curley doesn't like big men and is handy with his fists, so he sounds like someone that will start a fight.
When Lennie does not want to talk to Curley's wife she begins to feel like everyone around her wants nothing to do with her including Curley himself. She also does not understand why nobody wants to talk to her so she asks what the problem is with someone trying to get a little attention, as well what the problem is with her trying to make conversation.
The reason Lennie is been over powered by Curley is because Curley as a man is able but he feels jelous-he has an abnomality which makes him permentaly short,so he feels jealous to see Lennie who is taller/bigger than him,this is why he wants"sock" ..
Curley didn't like Lennie primarily because of his size and strength, which made him feel threatened and insecure. Additionally, Curley's fragile ego was wounded by Lennie's unintentional defiance and lack of fear towards him. This led to Curley frequently targeting Lennie to assert his dominance and boost his own self-esteem.
Curley did not like Lennie because he was big and strong, which made Curley feel insecure about his own size and masculinity. Additionally, Curley may have been jealous of the attention his wife gave to Lennie.
The book didn't necessarily state that Curley hated Lennie; however, as slim said in the beginning, Curley is like a "bunch of small people piled up". Since Lennie is known as the "big" (size) character in the story, Curley obviously wanted to beat him up. One of the other reasons could also be his mental disorder (Lennie).
Lennie didn't intentionally want to kill Curley's wife he did it on an accident. Lennie was in the stable and he had just killed his pup so he was hidding it and she walked in and started talking to him. They talked for a while about Curley and then she said something about her hair being really soft and she put Lennie's hand on her head to feel it. George then started rubbing her head and when she asked him to let go he didn't and she started to yell but Lennie shook her and tried to tell her to be quiet but in the end he accidentally broke her neck by shaking her (which killed her).
Curley's wife notices that Lennie has a bunch of bruises on his face. Being Curley's wife, she has also likely noticed that Curley had some problems with his hand. She likely put two and two...
It's likely that Walter feels a certain way about George due to past experiences, personal differences, or conflicts. Emotions are often shaped by interactions and perceptions, and these factors can contribute to Walter's feelings towards George.

Curley reacts to Lennie's silence negatively and try's to pick a fight with him. Curley probably figures that Lennie is silent that he is shy and dose not do well in fights. Since Curley is small and insecure, he figures he could take on the silent big guy and make him feel better about himself. This reveals that Curley is nothing more then a little bully.
You can say that George will no Longer feel the burden of having to worry about Lennie and the responsibilities that came along with Lennie.
Jump back to when Old Candy lets Carlson kill his dog, his companion, the one who has been with him forever. If George had let, lets say Curley kill Lennie, he would have had a guilty conscience. He wanted to do it because he wanted Lennie to die in peace and not be scared, because Lennie has the mind of a child....
