In the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ the character of Crooks is subject to constant racial discrimination. This shows the time period of the book as 1930’s America was a very prejudice and racist place. Crook‚ the only black character in ‘Of Mice and Men’‚ is immediately put in a disadvantaged position. Steinbeck immediately makes it very clear that Crooks is black in quotations such as ‘Sure.

They didn’t have much power over the men and were considered ‘useless’. Henceforth Steinbeck may have not given her a name as women were not considered important enough and she may not have deserved a name in this era.
