Injustice In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

In John Steinbeck’s classic novel Of Mice and Men we are left with a question, “Now what do you suppose is eatin’ them two?” At the time Carlson did not understand the pain that George was going through after shooting his best friend. Many people also aren’t aware that John Steinbeck wasn’t just trying to tell a story but he was also trying to focus on the many injustices that surrounded him. Monumental topics like racism, sexism ageism, and discrimination towards the mentally slow. Constantly we see he comes back to these themes. John not only wanted to tell us a great story but he wanted to make us aware of the injustices that are very present in our everyday lives. One of the many themes he constantly comes back to in his novel is sexism, he tells us about Curley’s wife and how she is constantly pegged as a flirt when all she wanted is a friend, he also pointed out that women are discriminated because she never had a name and was looked at like property, then finally at the end of the novel after she dies no one mourns for her. Throughout his novel John was trying to help us realize how we treat people in our society, and the price we have to pay for it in the end. At the beginning of the novel Of Mice and Men we are introduced to
He focuses on major problems such as racism, ageism, and decimation towards people of other races. I believe that sexism was one of his main themes. He shows us this woman who isn’t even named. She has no friends on the ranch that she lives on, her husband doesn’t treat her as a human but property, and she is called horrible names and is pegged as a flirt. John Steinbeck is trying to show us something. He was trying to make us aware of these injustices that happen in our everyday lives. He was also trying to point out that we can do something to change this, and make sure everyone is loved and treated fairly. Woman or
