Of Mice and Men

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!

Crooks is rude to Lennie because he is used to being isolated and discriminated against due to his race. As a black man on a predominantly white ranch, he has built emotional barriers to protect himself from further hurt. He is also wary of Lennie's presence and doesn't want to get his hopes up about joining in on their dream of a farm together.

Lennie kills curleys wife

they are both lonley with no one to talk to

Candy was marginalized in society due to his age and physical disability, which limited his ability to work and contribute in the same way as the other men on the ranch. This made him vulnerable and prone to being taken advantage of by those who were more powerful or socially accepted.

Lennie's fascination with small and soft things, like mice and puppies, and his inability to control his strength in handling them shows that he lacks the mental capacity to understand the consequences of his actions. Slim observes Lennie's innocence and childlike behavior, which leads him to believe that Lennie is not intentionally mean or wicked, but rather simply lacks awareness of his own strength.

George and Lennie are trying to raise a stake in order to fulfill their dream of owning their own piece of land and living independently. They hope to break free from their current lifestyle of moving from job to job as itinerant workers and achieve a sense of stability and security.

George is dressed neatly and carries practical items like a work glove, suggesting he is organized and hardworking. On the other hand, Lennie's disheveled appearance and possession of a dead mouse indicate a more careless and impulsive nature. Their contrasting attire and belongings give a glimpse into their personalities and differences in character.

It depends on the terms.

Take crooks, he was dark skinned, and treated lower in class than that of the others, he was just the 'stable buck'.

All men were seemingly treated with higher regards than Curley's wife, clearly she owned no power, despite her husband being Curley, and his dad is 'The Boss'. I guess the only authority she has, is the fact that Curley would attempt to hurt someone if they 'touched his wife'.

Other than Crooks, men were treated reasonably equally in Of Mice and Men.

Take Lenny for instance he gets shot at the end for doing something that he did know he was doing. He was mentally ill and killed curley's wife and got shot for killing her when he didnt even know that he done it.

im pretty sure that candy finds curley's wife when Lennie broke her neck

Crooks is a character in "Of Mice and Men" who represents the isolation and racial discrimination experienced by African Americans during the Great Depression. His purpose in the novel is to highlight the pervasive prejudice and social hierarchy of the time, and to provide insight into the effects of loneliness and discrimination on an individual.

Lennie is often compared to a bear in the book "Of Mice and Men" because of his physical strength, clumsiness, and gentle nature. Like a bear, Lennie is powerful and potentially dangerous, but ultimately he is kind and innocent.

It depends on the book you have but in mine it is page 52

by getting into crooks life and showing that black people weren't as bad as people said they were.

by the end of chapter 4 we see candy standing up for crooks in front of curleys wife, showing that crooks was worth protecting and wasn't that different

even the conversation crooks has with Lennie shows how as children you are inocent and don't realise racism and treat everybody kindly but as they grow up they feel it is the norm to follow everyone else and abuse people who are different and maybe at one time they might have played with as children.

Curley is first described on page 17 of the novella "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. He is introduced by the character Candy who warns George and Lennie about Curley's aggressive and confrontational nature.

the boss doesn't have a name in the story.

Curleys wife didnt take him seriously ,but he was the only person she could talk to. "You are nuts , but you kinda nice fella". He was her friend because Curley never spend time with her and that times women were treted not as they are treated now .She treated him as if he was her closest friend ,but Lennie was warried and didnt want to talk to her because george wouldn't let him to "tend them rabits" if he talks to her.

He lied to the man, he said the job was done, but what really happened was that Lennie got them kicked out of Weed

Yes, based on the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, George did think there was a good chance Lennie would be taken alive after he killed Curley's wife. This is why he instructs Lennie to hide in the brush and wait for him if anything goes wrong. George wanted to protect Lennie from being lynched by the angry mob.

Curley's wife has red fingernails and wears thick, corkscrew-like curls in "Of Mice and Men".
