Curley has obviously decided it is not worth fighting him but before he leaves he instructs Lennie as he still wants to intimidate him and show him that he has an authoritive figure. In this extract Curley has clearly unnerved Lennie as Lennie constantly seems to be in some discomfort for example “Lennie squirmed under the look and shifted his feet nervously”. John Steinbeck does well to produce powerful imagery by simply using the word “squirmed”. This shows that Lennie is embarrassed and does not know what to do and this causes tension as Curley senses his advantage while George is worried about a possible confrontation. Another example is “Lennie twisted with embarrassment”.

The “stand-still” philosophies of the Waknuks, and the “move-on” philosophies of the Sealanders caused destruction of families, emotions, and even lives, leaving the Fringes people tied up inside of this tangled web. The Fringes people were known as deviations, those that were born anything other than what God created man to look like.
Tybalt challenges Romeo to a duel to regain his pride and therefore shows self-interest because he blinded by rage and his thirst for revenge. Tybalt. Tybalt’s desire to duel with Romeo is not only to regain his pride but is also because of his continuous need for violence.
