A central problem in The Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, was discrimination.
In the story George and Lennie are searching for a job. George takes care of Lennie most of the time. “We kinda look after each other”(Steinbeck, 34) Whenever Lennie gets in trouble George always has to fix it. George and Lennie, end up taking a bus but the bus driver drops them off early and then end up having to walk to where they are working. When they get there they see people doing their job.

Throughout the entire book she was only referred to as “Curley’s Wife”. Even when Lennie kills her they say something terrible has happened to Curley’s wife. This shows that Steinbeck is trying to enforce the idea of them discriminating Curley’s wife.
When the author does this he is showing more, that discrimination is a large part in the story. He is showing, not just by saying it, or just by having them get discriminated by all the workers. He adds something that gives it a larger
