Source 2 also suggest that Charles ‘proceeded even when a policy was arousing great opposition’ which also agrees with Source 1 that suggests that Charles ‘saw no need to explain his action’ therefore suggesting that Chares lacked political judgement as he was very inflexible which many people around him found difficult to work with, ‘unworkable’ which led to a problem. Source 1 strongly emphasises that Charles’ elder brother James was ‘accomplished’ whereas Charles was ‘weak’; alternatively source 2 does not mention anything about James. Source 1 suggests that the reason for Charles’ poor communication skills may have been due to the fact that Charles was not brought up to be a ruler, James was. This therefore suggests that the reason Charles ‘failed to understand viewpoints’ may have been due to this fact which again proved to be a major problem in Charles’ personality. Source 1 also strongly emphasises the fact that Charles was ‘short’ and had a ‘stammer’ whereas Source 2 shows no knowledge of this.
The men who view him this way are totally different from each other. For example, George plays the role of the family member to Lennie, which at times makes him act cruel towards Lennie. At first, Crooks views Lennie as just another one of the workers who treats him badly then later realizes he is a nice and caring man. Curley on the other hand strongly dislikes big men and being that Lennie is a big guy, Curley never gives Lennie a chance to be friends. Lennie is viewed by s few characters in the novel and it affects their characterization.
Also, by staying separated from the world, he doesn’t have many influences or motivations. When Rowdy asks if Junior wants to visit the powwow, he refuses because, “Those rhythmless, talentless, tuneless Indians are most likely to get drunk and beat the shit out of any available losers. And [he is] the most available loser.” Junior proceeds to criticize himself and refer to himself as a loser. His fear of getting beaten up by other Indians causes him to be socially inept. As the story progresses, Junior is influenced and motivated to make a change in his
In comparison, the relationship with George and Curley’s wife is almost the opposite to his friendship with Candy, as there is no trust or ease between them. In fact, George acts very hostile towards here, perhaps out of routine as he is terrified that there will be a repeat of the weed incident, or perhaps just because of the warnings he has been given from the other men, so he knows not to get involved. Both Candy and Curley’s wife take an interest to Lennie, as he is just ‘like a big baby’, however for very different reasons. Candy is excited by these two men as firstly, it is unusual yet interesting for two men to travel together, and also they have brought him this opportunity of hope that he has been waiting for. Curley’s wife, on the other hand, only talks to lennie because she longs for attention, and someone to talk to, and she can trust Lennie as he is innocent and
Lennie is tall and strong man who has a mental disability, which leads him to depend on George. Lennie, for being different, acts differently, making others think that the things he does are wrong. For Lennie, the things he does, seems to be correct to him, because he lives in his own world, where he make his own rules. His passion of petting soft things, such as small animals, dresses, and people’s hair, leads to disaster. On the other hand we have George.

Also, the boys do not have smart thoughts like Piggy does, and Ralph realizes “I can’t think. Not like Piggy.”(78) Many boys realize Piggy’s intelligence and that Piggy seems educated, which they resent him for because his intelligence makes him the closest to a “grownup”. Being smart and educated is one thing that civilization gives to all. Because of his education and intelligence the two “leaders”, Ralph and Jack, in a sense, fight over whose side Piggy is on because
Thirdly, Piggy is characterized as lazy or weak. When he is consulting with Ralph, he says ``we`ve got to find the others, we`ve got to do something. `` (page 10) the fact that Piggy says ``we``, suggests that he doesn`t want to do it himself, or that maybe he cannot physically do it himself. The archetypical character the ``outcast`` is not as widely recognized as the other characters, but it is still existent in the novel, with the help of the characterization of
Piggy’s brains help the group of boys drastically because even though Ralph is calling the shots, he gets almost all his ideas from Piggy. Also, he is very reserved and never really steps up to any challenge or obstacle. Instead, he hides behind Ralph and believes he needs approval from him to do anything. Lord of the Flies, by the end of the book, is survival of the fittest, and Piggy does not have the characteristics to survive and ends up perishing due to a rock. He is not able to be a proficient leader to the assembly of boys because of the certain character traits that Piggy
Despite Piggy's clear thinking and appraisal of their situation, his contentious manner and rude dismissal of the younger boys unfortunately causes his ideas to be dismissed. Even more importantly, he is a cynic who can do nothing to comfort the others, instead instilling in them a sense of fatalism. Piggy, whose pessimism and sadness make him a likely martyr, is established in this chapter as a prophet whose words are not heeded until it is too late. Golding uses Piggy's advice as foreshadowing: failure to heed Piggy, however absurd he may sound, leads to dire
