How Does Steinbeck Present Crooks In Of Mice And Men

Crooks tells Lennie so much about himself because it's the first time someone came to his bunk and wanted to have a conversation with him. Crooks is a very lonely man because he's black and sadly he was shunned to a small stable, Crooks at first when Lennie wanted to hang out he said to leave him alone, but Lennie didn't understand so Crooks finally allowed him to sit and talk. Crooks vents to Lennie about his mistreatment as an African-American, then he teases Lennie because he relies so much on George and If George got injured what would Lennie do, Lennie panics thinking George is actually hurt, but then Crooks calm him down so Crooks to me is a mixed emotion guy because he deserves to be mad about his mistreatment, but he shouldn't tease Lennie at all. Crooks invited Lennie in because he just needed to talk to someone and that person was Lennie and he knows there's something wrong mentally with Lennie so he told so much about himself because he knows Lennie wouldn't remember a single word from the conversation.
Crooks lived on a farm with his family in California and he had white friends, Crooks father told him to watch out for white people because they were the only black family around and that's where Crooks bitterness started for white
