Since Lennie is extremely strong‚ George knows that he should let Lennie stick up for himself and not allow Curley to make him feel weak and inferior to the rest. George also accepts the fact that Lennie cannot remember tons of information that

For this reason George is very careful not to let Lennie talk in front of people because he might ruined their opportunities. Just like George‚ Arnie’s family thinks their mom is useless because of her weight and that she can’t do anything around the house.

HOW DOES STEINBECK PORTRAY THE THEME OF LONELINESS IN “Of Mice And Men”? Steinbeck introduces characters sequentially and in this way is able to demonstrate a recurring theme of loneliness. Loneliness comes with racism‚ discrimination & ageism. Marginalization is a word which so eloquently describes the happenings that transpire throughout the book: Of Mice & Men.

He has a much superior understanding of language than almost every other character in the play and uses his wit to make fun of them‚ especially in death.

Right from the start of “Maggie: A Girl of the Streets‚” Stephen Crane uses language in a very specific way. In the first chapter‚ we are given a look at some children fighting.
