    presents Curley and slim and what techniques he uses to make this comparison evident. Slim is presented as a very opposing character to Curley in the book through his appearance‚ actions/body language‚ his history‚ dialogue etc. Slim is described as the “prince of the ranch”‚ which is ironic as if Curley’s father is the boss of the ranch‚ or in this case the King‚ then surely Curley should be the prince‚ however it is else wise. We discover that Curley does not live up to that status. Slim is

    minor characters; Curley‚ the boss’ son‚ and Slim‚ the jerkline skinner. The introductory paragraphs of these two characters are interesting because they are highly contrasted. We are first introduced to Curley‚ “a thin‚ young man” on page 46. The use of the word “thin” (as opposed to Lennie’s opening description of being George’s “huge companion”) implies that he is delicate‚ fragile‚ weak‚ and the word “young” suggests he is brash‚ arrogant‚ and connotes naivety. Furthermore‚ Curley is immediately

    Men’‚ the characters of Slim and Curley are created to have a strong influence on the other workers’ lives. While both the characters make an impact with the way they are presented‚ Steinbeck portrays them both very differently. He does this by giving the reader different impressions when each of the characters are introduced‚ the idiosyncrasies the author has given them‚ the way they treat others‚ how the rest of the characters react to the characteristics of Curley and Slim and why they influence

    Comparison of Curly and Lennie Both Curly and Lennie are main characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’; although‚ they are very different in many ways‚ first of all Lennie is a very big and strong man we know is as ‘a huge man‚ shapeless in face’ whereas Curley is much smaller and weaker‚ Steinbeck describes him as ‘a thin young man with a brown face’. Therefore you would think that Lennie being the stronger man would be the most aggressive but in fact both Lennie and Curley are very aggressive‚ this becomes

    John Steinbeck portrays Curley‟s wife as being a floozy but also a nice girl. She is a natural flirt as throughout the novel she 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

    Curleys’ Wife Curleys’ wife is a complex character with multiple layers in the novella “Of Mice and Men.” Through the story our perception of Curlers’ Wife changes without her actually changing. She is portrayed as both a villain and a victim. Through the story a more vunerable and sweeter side of her starts to show‚ which contradicts the first side we are shown of her. Curlers’ wife is presented in numerous ways. Mediums by which she is presented to the reader by Steinbeck is by how she is described
