marginalisation are; Lennie‚ Crooks‚ Candy and Curley’s Wife. Here’s a brief description of how each character is marginalised: Lennie Lennie is marginalised due to his intelligence – or lack of. Curley’s wife refers to him as “a dum-dum” illustrating that he isn’t as developed as the rest of the characters. George insists that Lennie is “jes’like a kid” referring to Lennie’s simple and child-like nature – which suggests innocence. Lennie isn’t quite as marginalised as Crooks‚ but he’s still one of

continues to talk to all the other men‚ but when she dies‚ we see her as an innocent young girl. I am writing this essay to discuss my views and whether I agree with John Steinbeck when he says she is a nice girl. Curley‟s wife gives off the impression she is a floozy throughout the novel. When we first see her‚ her body language is deliberately provocative when she leans against a pole in the barn. „So her body was thrown forward.‟ Knowing her beautiful womanly figure‚ and being the only

what a tramp... so that’s what Curley picks for a wife”. George has only just arrived to the ranch and has already sussed Curley’s wife out‚ calling her a ‘tramp’. I think this may be harsh‚ as he’s only just met her but I guess with men‚ first impressions are everything. George probably thinks this‚ due to her flirtatious body language she sends off. He’s used to being around men and in the novel has confessed to not having a girlfriend. Therefore‚ he doesn’t have an understanding of women; this

is Crooks’. In the book Crooks is characterized as a much more active character. An example of this would be when Crooks interjects in the farmer’s conversation to let Slim know that he had finished preparing the tar for fixing the mule’s hoof. The filmmakers changed this scene so that Crooks was not involved at all and that George prepared the tar instead. Another massive difference between the book and the movie are the acts themselves. Going back to the previous point of Crooks and

example‚ while Lennie‚ Candy and Crookes were in Crooks’ room discussing their ranch‚ she walks in and says “Listen‚ Nigger...” “...You keep your place then‚ Nigger. I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain’t even funny.” (Pg 88 and 89). This shows she is taking advantage of the fact she’s the boss’s son’s wife‚ and uses her position of power against Crooks‚ when all he ever did is ask for some privacy. She went off on a racist tangent when Crooks asked for privacy from his room because he wants

This reflects the view of optimism and hope in the book. However some characters such as Crooks see the world around them as desperate and solitary. Crooks believes that no ones dream will come true and that nothing will ever get better‚ this is shown in the line‚ " Nobody ever gets to heaven‚ and nobody never gets no land." (page 106) He also says that Lennie’s dream will

that itself we can see that the term carries sexual implications. The beginning of the word‚ ‘jail’ implies that she is dangerous while ‘bait’ implies that as a character‚ she would reel people in to harmful situations and this overall creates the impression that Steinbeck wants us to have of her; someone that is destructive‚ dangerous and almost destined to condemn the others.

The fact that they mention she has the eye gives the impression that the men have been watching her‚ and are curious about her‚ as they have noticed this.

dream will never come true either ‚as he could not proceed with it without Lennie. In conclusion I think the simple moral to the story is everybody needs someone to talk to in order to survive. Curley’s wife died because she had no one to talk to. Crooks says he feels sick sometimes because he is so lonely. It is obvious that he will not live a happier life and will probably die soon. Also Candy is old and lonely and is always associated with his dog. I think he will end up dieing soon‚ not only of
