Throughout the 1920’s, black people and women in America have been forced to live through poor social conditions. Until recent years, these people have been excluded from society and were considered and outsider in a normal community. John Steinbeck shows the reader this in his novella, “Of Mice and Men.” Steinbeck uses the characters of Crooks and Curley’s wife to display that although one character is a black male and the other, a white woman, they still have similar traits. These factors like discrimination, loneliness and shattered dreams make Crooks and Curley’s wife parallel (equal).
Crooks and Curley’s wife suffer from discrimination around the ranch. Steinbeck expresses discrimination, or prejudice, very simply by refusing to give Curley's wife a name. She is displayed as only a item of Curley’s. Curley’s wife is disliked by ranch hands as they

    DISLIKE: The first time we hear about Curley’s wife is from an unfavourable insight of her when Candy is in conversation with George and Lennie, which Steinbeck portrays through dialogue. We begin to perceive that Curley’s wife is a mean and seductive temptress as “she got they eye” and it has only been the period of two short weeks that she has been forced into a marital relationship with Curley, and is already beginning to commit signs of deceit. Due to Curley’s wife’s lack of power, she aims to attract the rancher’s attention through her physical appearance as this is the only method of gaining any form of communication with a person on the ranch. This quotation could also suggest that Curley’s wife is a ‘whore’ and has a wondering eye therefore proclaiming that she is a flirtatious, self obsessed and an egotistical woman who has the power to trap men in her very own spiraled web. However, during this time, women were seen as an object which held no power or dignity. They were degraded in their society and were…

    Steinbeck uses Curley’s wife to represent how many women in the 1930s were classed below men, and how this prejudice allowed their lives to be defined by the men around them. In this passage, Steinbeck has manipulated Curley’s wife’s appearance in order to reinforce our pre judged feelings towards her, based on gossip and rumours told by Candy.…

    Curley’s wife is a character in the novel “Of mice and men” set in California and written in 1937 by John Steinbeck. She is the only woman on a ranch of itinerant working men, and because of this she gets treated by each man in a different manner. Most of the men treat her in a negative way, therefore causing different degrees of sympathy from the reader. Sympathy implies that the reader feels an emotional connection towards the character. Her unhappy marriage to the boss’s son causes her great loneliness and unhappiness as she tries, in vain, to find someone to talk to on the ranch.…

    First off, the messages that each of these pieces portray both relate to the inequality of races: racism. Steinbeck enabled the reader to see how people discriminated against others for anything- even if the one being discriminated did nothing to deserve it. During this scene, Curley’s wife is in the barn in Crooks’ room stirring up trouble and Crooks has had enough. “...Now you jus’ get out, an’ get out…

    Curleys wife

    Curley’s wife is the only female lives on the farm. Throughout the novella, the men that work on the ranch always refer to her as ‘Curley’s wife’. Her lack of identity could imply that she is more of a possession of her husband than a woman with rights. That is why she has no name; her identity is being someone’s wife. As this character develops, we find that she is not in fact the nameless, unimportant character as we first perceive her as, but she is a complex an interesting character which much more to her than we first think of. The lack of identity could also be referring to how womens rights were treated less equally than men. The lack of name demotes Curley’s wife to an insignificant status. Steinbeck says in a letter about the role of Curley’s wife “She (Curley’s wife) was told over and over again that she must remain a virgin… She had only that one thing to sell and she knew it.” This further enforces that women were only used for sex. Steinbeck may have portrayed woman in this way to allows readers to recognise the inferior role of women during the Great Depression.…

    Curley's Power

    Curley has the tendency to pick fights especially with people who are much more powerful then he is. He tries to oppress them by his masculinity. Curley is married to a very attractive woman, she is his possession rather then his partner. Steinbeck also adds to his demeaning attitude by not giving her a proper name. Curley has power over her and oppresses her by not letting her socialise with the others on the ranch. Although it seems he does love her “well i’ll tell ya what - Curley says he's keeping that hand soft for his wife” this shows he does make sacrifices but he quickly forgets his love when he attendees the local “whore house” every weekend. Although he oppresses her it does give her power or seeks satisfaction through other…

    During the 1930s in America, life for people with colour was difficult due to racism, segregation and isolation which was seen as normality back then. Black people did everything to stay out of troubled and avoid been lynched; especially by the Ku-klux-klan who still had a lot of power. Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck reflects to all these themes and other such as: The American Dream, discrimination, friendship, prejudice etc. It also reflects to the Great depression of the 1930s through Lennie and George who travelled from place to place to work (frontiersmen) and through Crooks, who reviews how Blacks were treated in the 1930s. For example, he worked as hard as or even harder than anyone in the ranch but still was unworthy because of his race and position in the society in the 1930s. The title Of Mice and men comes from Robert Burns’ poem “To a Mouse”, this is relevant to the novel as Steinbeck portrays his characters to be at the mercy of fate, almost as powerless as mice. The purpose of my essay is to show how Steinbeck portrays Crooks in the novel.…

    Loneliness is the feeling of isolation and no hope or dreams in your life-which is what Steinbeck achieves by portraying this theme effectively through key fictional characters in Of Mice and Men. By living in the town of ‘Soledad’ (Spanish for loneliness), the audience gets an overwhelming sense of the depressing environment that the migrant farmers are living through by their repetitive lifestyle and the consequences they face through the Great Depression and the Dustbowl. Yet another aspect of loneliness which is exposed vulnerably through several characters is the idea of the American Dream, for Steinbeck teaches us that even through hard work and prosperity, it is unattainable which is represented by Curley’s wife, Crooks, Candy and George + Lennie. These personas are left in isolation for as George says that ‘Guys like us that work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world. They don’t belong no place…’ which is to say that these characters have lost all hope in their lives, which Steinbeck conveys effectively, and the fact that despite this, they still believe there is hope to come for them, which leaves me to sympathise for them more.…

    With these words, Crooks, a character from Of Mice and Men, demonstrates his pride for being the son of a landowner instead of a slave of the South. However, this pride is merely a small comfort, as living in California does not liberate Crooks from the clutches of racial prejudice. During the Great Depression, the era in which the story is set, African-Americans afflicted by economic inequality further suffered from the racist and bigoted opinions of society. John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men depicts Crooks, an African-American farm worker, as a man threatened by the racism of the 1930s. Steinbeck describes the effects of discrimination on Crooks, including his loneliness, crushed aspirations, and bitter attitude, to illustrate the hopelessly bleak situation for African-Americans during the Great Depression.…

    Women like Curley’s wife were looked as possessions to be owned, who were void of feeling, and could not feel the effects of loneliness. African Americans like Crooks were discriminated against and left unincluded, on account of the color of their skin. “I could get you strung up on a tree so fast it ain’t even funny” (Steinbeck 81). Crooks is berated with threats from Curley’s wife and derogatory language from other workers on the ranch. “A lifelong victim of segregation of social ostracisms, Crooks lives in constant fear of inadvertently breaking society’s ridgid taboos” (Bloom). The rigidness of society in 1930’s drives Crooks to distance himself from others and, Curley’s wife to seek company with others. Steinbeck uses these thematic ideas to depict the difficulty of social life for some of those when lived in the 1930’s to the…
