The Tramp

2001) At a deeper depth we can see reasoning as to why Charles Dickens titled his short story the way he did. The first paragraph of the story reads, “‘And why Tom Tiddler’s Ground?’ said the Traveller. “Because he (Mr.Mopes) scatters halfpence to Tramps and such-like.” returned the Landlord, “and of course they pick ‘em up. And this being done on his own land … why it is regarding the halfpence as gold and silver, and turning the ownership of the property a bit round your finger, and there you…

her and because all the men think of her as a tramp. The only person she could only talk to is her husband, but in the book she admits that she does not like him. Unfortunately, Curley 's wife does not have a name. The reason Steinbeck did not give her a name is because he wanted to symbolize her as isolation, not having a name takes away the identity and significance of a person. All the men on the ranch think of her as a big attention seeking tramp. When George and lennie first encounter her…

Yet no one attempts to apprehend her or her story before jumping to assumptions. “Jesus, what a tramp,’ he said…’Don’t you even take a look at that bitch...I never seen no piece of jailbait worse than her’” (32).

Steinbeck has already introduced the two main characters George and Lennie in the first chapter. In the second chapter Steinbeck continues to introduce more characters to you like, Curley, Candy, Curley’s wife, the boss, and Slim. The character that stood out to me the most was Curley. Everyone gossips about him and his wife and no one really likes him. He is the boss’s son which is why he…
