Of Mice And Men Curley's Wife

Ch. 1 p. 1-16 George Milton is introduced into the plot as a small, strong man, who tends to be very striking to the women. He is very helpful to Lennie, as he has been taking care of him ever since the passing of Lennie’s aunt, Aunt Clara. Lennie Small is a large man and is known to be awkward around other people due to his mental-disability. He dreams big, and thinks that his future is going to allow him to do the things he loves such as petting soft things, working hard, and living on a ranch that only George and him will own. In this section of the book, George and Lennie were walking to their next job. After they had been walking for a while, Lennie started to get thirsty. Furthermore, the two men stopped at a dirty pond where Lennie

She liked representing herself as a female, and was most always dressed in fancy, feathered red shoes. She always dreamed big and was always ready to face her enemies. Lennie’s pup died.

Curley’s wife then told Lennie that she doesn’t like Curley and that she could have either been an actress or been in a traveling show. Lennie then shares to her that he loves to touch rabbits. She then asked him why and he replied because I love to touch soft things. She then allows him to touch her soft hair but tells him to try not to mess it up. He claps his hands together after tugging on her hair too hard telling her not to scream. He soon breaks her neck. Lennie then ran to the brush where George told Lennie to go if an emergency had come upon him. As soon as Curley found his wife dead, he sent his mean after Lennie to kill him. During chapter five, the setting is in the barn. On one end of the barn hay was piled high, and on the other end of the barn the hay came down like a mountain slope. It was a Sunday afternoon, as the sun was beginning to set beneath the cloudy sky. As the chapters develop, I feel as if Lennie and George are tied down by their need for money. Curley's wife is limited by being a woman. Crooks is stuck because of his race. Except when they're caught up in the intensity of the dream, most characters in Of Mice and
