Candy In John Steinbeck's Of Mice Of Men

In the book “Of Mice of Men” there are alot of diffrent characters and alot of enteresting things about them but I ammainly focusing on Candy. Candy is an old ranch worker ("swamper") who has lost one of his hands in a farming accident. He's spent the best years of his life working on someone else's ranch with his dog a life-long friend. He has done all this only to lose his hand, his dog and have little money to his name. Candy is one of the more basic characters, but have a lot to offer to the story. Candy is an older cocasian man. He is missing his right hand due to an accident and its now basically a stomp. On the messed up hand he is always wearing a use to be white, tatered, old bandage around it.

He had a speech of an under educated southerner such as, “No I couldn’ do that” ( Steinbeck 45 ), “Maybe it’d hurt him” ( Steinbeck 45 ) or “Maybe tomorra.” ( Steinbeck 47 ). Also with the few phrases I choose they give you glimpse of how caring, kind, and loving he is toward his dog especially but also others. In the part of the story where he finds out the Lennie accidently killed Curley’s wife, he looked out for both Lennei and George. He mainly did this becuase he knew what was morally right and what he had to do in this situation. Candy is an easy going guy, he is not agressive in any way. When the topic of his life-long companion being killed or in other words being put down he did all upset and verbal about. He opposed like anyone would but again knew what was right in that situation and alowed it to happen even though it hurt him a lot. Candy is a wise, think first type of guy and in a since atuomatically knows what to do and what right at a point that brings stress, hard times, confusion or any situation that is troubling in any
