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.

It is set in the 1930's during the Great Depression. It is on a ranch in the Salinas Valley near the Salinas River, just south of Soledad in California.

The novel opens with the major characters, George Milton and Lennie Small, camping for the night beside a pool along the banks of the Salinas River. The following morning, the two hike to a nearby ranch, where they take up residence in the bunkhouse. Steinbeck paints a vivid picture of the sparsely equipped facility and of the hot, dusty ranch land on which George and Lennie work.

To be more specific, all 6 chapters of the story take place in the following 4 places, respectively:

1. Outside of the ranch, clearing by the lake

2. Bunkhouse

3. Barn

4. Crooks' Room

In Chapter 5 of Of Mice and Men, Lennie has just killed his puppy by accident and is stroking its dead body. He worries that George will be angry at him and won't let him raise rabbits on their farm. He hurls the dead puppy across the room in frustration, then retrieves it and strokes it again.

Curley's wife comes in and sits beside him. He hides the puppy and tells her he's not allowed to talk to her. She reassures him that they won't get in trouble because everyone else is busy with a horseshoe tournament.

She sees the puppy and comforts him about its death, then complains she's lonely. She tells him she wants a different life, and had a chance to go to Hollywood to become a movie star, but was forced to settle for marrying Curley.

Lennie tells her about the rabbits, and she asks him why he likes animals so much. Lennie tells her he likes soft things, and she lets him pet her hair. But he holds on too tight, which scares her so she cries out. Lennie panics, putting his hands over her mouth to quiet her, but he tightens his grip too much and shakes her until her neck is broken.

Realizing that he's killed her, he tries to hide her in the hay. He worries that George will be angry if he finds out. He flees, taking the puppy's body with him. He runs to the clearing in the woods (where the novel began).

Candy discovers the body in the barn when he goes looking for Lennie. He calls George, who realizes what's happened and hopes that Lennie can just be locked up where he can't hurt anyone but can be treated well. However, Candy tells him that Curley will have him lynched.

Candy asks George if their dream of buying the farm will ever happen, but they both know it won't. George always knew it wouldn't, but Lennie had liked the idea so much that he went along with it.

Worrying that he will be implicated in Curley's wife's death, he has Candy deliver the news and pretends not to have seen the body himself.

When Candy tells the ranch workers what happened, a mob gathers. Curley demands that they find Lennie and kill him. He has them get Crooks's shotgun, and they leave to find and shoot Lennie.

This isn't a quote, but an important element regarding Sexism is that Curley's wife is never named throughout the book. This portrays her as an object; a possesion of Curley's.

The main theme would be Curley's wife's appearance.

She wears all red, which instantly foreshadows danger, and portrays her as a sexual woman, which is how she was seen by most men on the ranch.

You can link this to the woman in Weed. Lennie grabs her red dress and she cries for help and gets away. This could show Curley's wife is in danger, or will cause trouble like the woman in Weed did for Lennie and George - which she does.
