Of mice and men controlled assessment
Lennie, Curly’s Wife and Candy
Steinbeck presents different types of suffering in many different ways and presents it through various characters throughout the novel. He also has many different attitude towards the characters and suggests many reasons why people in the 1930s had bad attitudes towards women or anyone that isn’t quite perfect.
One example of this is curleys wife who is disrespected in many ways for being female this is because in the 1930's women were not treated well and did not have very much power over the men. Women in the 1930's were not actually considered people; if you were an unmarried woman during this time with no children then you were disrespected and considered useless. Women's …show more content…
He limits what she can do and who she can talk to--or at least he tries. She is kept on the property and told what to do.
Actually, however, the most important quote and detail that shows Curley's wife is treated with disrespect is the fact that readers have to refer to her as "Curley's wife," since she isn't even named in the novel.
In the novel of “mice and men” candy plays the part of being an old worker with one arm. He has a dog and gets very close to George and Lennie Candy and his dog parallel the relationship with George and Lennie Like Candy's dog, Lennie depends on George to take care of him and show him what to do. Candy, like George, is different from the other members of the ranch because he has his dog as a constant companion, someone he can rely on and talk to. When Carlson suggests that Candy's dog should die, Candy tries to put it off but ends up being forced in to the agreement. He tells George later that he should have shot his dog himself, foreshadowing George's decision to take Lennie's life. Another foreshadow in Carlson killing candy’s dog is that killing it is for the benefit of the dog and when George kills Lennie that is also for the better as Lennie will only cause problems in the future for George to put up with …show more content…
His race doesn’t also get him the worst job but the worst living accommodation and the fact that he is segregated from the white members on the ranch. Lennie isn’t as racist as the other ranch workers as he tries to grow a relationship with crooks while the rest of the workers are in town but crooks is very sceptical of him and doesn’t understand what he wants, this shows that Lennie is lonely and without George would have to find somebody else to look after him .
Another foreshadow of Lennie’s future death is “he was so little, said Lennie “ I was just playing with him and, he was goanna bite me .. and I made that I was goanna smack him and ..and… I done it , and then he was dead,” this shows Lennie’s future of death as the puppy didn’t have much to live for just like Lennie.
My conclusion “of mice and men” by stein beck is that he reflects life in America in many different ways. Times were obviously harsh and money was definitely tight after the great depression. Racism was common like how everybody abuses crooks the stable book and how he can’t sleep with whites in the bunk
