Crooks taunts Lennie because his lonliness gets the better of him and since Lennie is inferior to him, tries to make Lennie feel bad. Just like how Curley's wife tries to make other people feel bad because she is lonely and she knows that she can basically control anyone on that ranch.
What does Lennie tell crooks even though he probably shouldn't have?
Lennie tells Crooks about the plan he and George have (and now Candy as well) to get a little farm together. Lennie will be able to tend the rabbits, and as he and Crooks sit in Crooks' room out in the barn, Candy is in the bunkhouse "figurin' and figurin'" about the rabbits and how they might be able to make some money on them. The dream they had of "livin' offa the fatta the lan'" (living off of the fat of the land) was supposed to kept a secret, but Lennie doesn't realize that he shouldn't tell Crooks about it. At first, Crooks scoffs at the idea. He says, "No one never gets to Heaven, and no one never gets no land," but when Candy admits that it's true, Crooks wants in. However, Curley's wife winds up coming out to the barn, and she puts Crooks back in his place, so he ends the chapter telling Candy that he was just kidding about wanting to go to the dream farm with them. As readers, we know that he wasn't kidding, but we also know that Crooks is right to realize that he wouldn't be able to join with the others since he is a Black man in the 1930's south (California) and the prejudice of the whites will keep him from joining them.
How does crooks think that he and Lennie are similar is crooks correct you this estimation?
Crooks thinks that he and Lennie are similar because they are both outsiders, isolated from the other workers on the ranch. However, Lennie's innocence and childlike nature make him more accepted by the other workers, while Crooks is discriminated against due to his race. Crooks' estimation is partially correct, as they are both marginalized figures, but their experiences of exclusion are shaped by different factors.
