Was john Steinbeck gay?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He was probably bisexual, not gay.

The reason some jump to the conclusion is because of the nature of his writing in his books, such as Of Mice and Man and East of Eden. East of Eden has a gay marriage, Mice and Man has a gay sex scene. The fact that Kazan, a known homosexual, produced the screen version of East of Eden does not help. The leading star's (Jimmy Dean) homosexual lifestyle creates further skepticism.

However, he was married three times during his lifetime. He spent the last 18 years of his life with his wife, Elaine Anderson Steinbeck. Whether he liked the boys remains conjecture.

Why does Lennie hurt Curly and what does he do to him?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Curley was in the bunk room beating up Lennie. Curley was looking for his wife and saw Lennie laughing. Curley thought Lennie was laughing at him when he really wasn't. Curley then started to beat up Lennie while George is screaming to Lennie to fight back. Lennie then grabs Curley's fist as he is about to punch him again, and Lennie crushes Curley's fist. The damage to Curley's fist was so bad he was taken to the hospital. Slim forces Curley to say his hand was crushed by a machine. There were hardly any bones left in Curley's hand, and Curley was crying.

What are some parallels and contrasts in Of Mice and Men?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A parallel in Of Mice and Men is that George and Lennie's dream and Curley's wife's dream (to be an actress) are never realized. Also, Candy's relationship with his dog and George's relationship with Lennie are parallels because both Lennie and Candy's dog are handicapped, and they are both dependent on their friend/master.

Related to the question:

A contrast in Of Mice and Men is that George is small and smart; Lennie is big and dumb. Also, Curley is mean and small; Lennie is nice and big.

Hope this helps!
