He is the stable buck on the farm and lives in the barn. The author juxtaposes where Crooks lives against where the others live. Everyone else lives in the bunkhouse with friends while Crooks has nobody. For every other character, Steinbeck gives us a brief description averaging about a paragraph long. Crooks, however, has pages of explanation about where he lives, how he lives, and who he is as a person. This imagery and juxtaposition perfectly humanizes the African Americans. Steinbeck also uses foreshadowing to convey how terribly this group of people was treated. Curley’s Wife says to
