Curley's wife shows up at Crooks' cabin when she is looking for Curley. She engages in conversation with Crooks, Candy, and Lennie, asserting her power over them due to her status as the boss's wife.
Crooks' cabin is described as small and dirty, with minimal furnishings. The walls are lined with books, showcasing his intelligence and desire for knowledge. The cabin is separate from the other workers' living quarters, highlighting Crooks' isolation and discrimination as a black man on the ranch.

The scene with Crooks in "Of Mice and Men" is different because it highlights the theme of racial discrimination. Crooks, being the only African American character on the ranch, faces isolation and is marginalized due to his race. This scene sheds light on the harsh realities of racism during that time period.
she could get crooks strung up on a tree. she could make crooks loose his job.
Mmm, he might. And then again, he might not. Crooks is indeed a colored person, and Candy is a 'non' colored person. But because Candy is nice to just about everybody, Crooks might not be an exception.
He's rude to him because he doesn't like people that are bigger than him "For a moment Crooks did not see him [Lennie], but on raising his eyes he stiffened and a scowl came on his face." Crooks stiffening shows that he feels a little threatened by Lennie's presence - he is becoming defensive and ready to react to any attack Lennie might start. The scowl on his face shows he is doesn't want Lennie there and is trying to ward him off by being uninviting. To me it also shows he doesn't want to be disturbed and just wants to be alone in his room, tending to his back and reading all his books, as this is what he is used to and has come to accept. This un-ordinary occurrence makes him suspicious as normally white men do not enter his room. "Crooks said sharply, 'You got no right to come in my room. This here's my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.'" This again shows he doesn't want Lennie there. Crooks shows distrust towards him.
Lennie ends up with Crooks because he wanders into his room while looking for his puppy. Crooks initially resists Lennie's presence but eventually allows him to stay and confides in him about his loneliness due to his race. Later, when Curley's wife enters the room, she taunts both Crooks and Lennie, which leads to a confrontation where Crooks is forced to defend himself and his space.
The men are always calling crooks a 'n******' this shows he doesn't have enough respect to have a name or his own identity. Candy 'relishes' the thought when the men had a fight with Crooks just beacause he is black. On the hother hand Candy stands up for him when Curly's wiife threatens to lynch him.
He shows the lack of respect for black people in those days (The Great Depression) and shows how poorly he was treated on the farm (a lot like Curley's wife)
Will Crooks died in 1921.
Curley's wife visited Crooks, Candy, and Lennie in the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. She went into Crooks' room looking for Curley and ended up talking to the men there, revealing her loneliness and desires.
