Of mice and men
Explain how Steinbeck presents Crooks in the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’
The first time Crooks was mentioned by Candy Chapter 1 page 21. Candy is the gossip one, he knows everything, and sees everything. Candy introduces Crooks to Lennie and George. ‘Yeah. Nice fella, too. Got a crooked back where horse kicked him. The boss gives him hell when he’s mad. But the stable bucks don’t give a damn about that’. That shows that Crooks doesn’t care what people think about him, he respects himself.
On chapter three page 55. Stable buck appear in text by his small dialog with Slim. ‘The door opened quietly and the stable buck put in his head; a lean negro head, lined with pain, the eye patient’. This text shows that Crooks listen to Slim as a slave and does what he asks.
Chapter four is all about Crooks. Finally Crooks was shown to the readers. On page 73 Steinbeck writes about stable buck’s room in detail. For being alone Crooks could leave his stuff everywhere. He didn’t care how his bunk looks like because no one was coming in to his room. Crooks has ,Californian Civil Code 1905 This shows that Crooks care about his rights what he can do , and what he shouldn’t say .
On Page 74 Lennie appeared in text, he wanted to make friends. ‘You got no right to come in my room. This here’s my room. Nobody got any right in here but me.’ Steinbeck shows that Crooks isn’t friendly, that he doesn’t want any visitors in his bunk. ‘Just come to look at my puppy. And I seen your light’. Lennie always was attracted to bright colours and soft things. Lennie didn’t leave Crooks, because Lennie wanted to know why Crooks does isn’t wanted in Bunk house. Crooks still fight with Lennie that he can’t come in, but Lennie just stood there and didn’t move. After a while Lennie sat down in Crooks bunk. This shows that Crooks actually was pretending that he didn’t want any company, but he really wants and need company.
On page 78 Crooks starts to torture Lennie that George won’t
