“The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features” (Steinbeck 2). George is tiny and much more intelligent than Lennie. Also, Lennie is Caucasian, and George is African American. George can be defined by a few distinct characteristics. Even though Lennie really bothers George at some points, he is a wonderfully loving and devoted friend and would never actually leave Lennie.
Also the fact that he does not respond to the actual context of Daisy’s statement, but rather with his opinion shows his dominance. Fitzgerald evolves the character of Tom into a hulking being. The physicality of Tom is carefully outlined as, “[… a sturdy straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and supercilious manner” (7). The chosen adjectives all bring attributes of Tom’s physical appearance to life. His steadfast base is unfaltering.
Learn the steps to stop comparing yourself to others after the jump. A. Recognize that comparing yourself to others is a bad habit. Society often projects flawless skin, big eyes, full lips, small nose, pure white teeth, smooth and shiny hair, curvy body, and designer clothes for women and they portray them as being happy.

In all, this shows Pat’s weakness and vulnerability. Her selfishness and child-like behavior restrict her from understanding the quintessence of adult-hood and the growing up process.

Julie always embraces the presence of just being with Jim.
Ethan, while he is flawed, is also a victim of circumstance The tiny town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, formed the backdrop for Edith Wharton’s novel Ethan Frome, an intense novel that moves the ill-starred trio of main characters towards their tragic destinies. Of the main characters, the eponymous Ethan Frome is flawed, both physically and in lack of ability to communicate with everybody. Undoubtedly, however, misfortune and circumstance riddled Ethan’s world: crushing his dreams of becoming an engineer and restricting him to a life in Starkfield. Described through the eyes of the omniscient narrator, Ethan was a man whose “lameness checked each step like a jerk of a chain” and who seldom interacted with the townspeople. Highlighted within the opening two pages, Ethan’s flaws (both physical and of character) made him quite a distinguishable character in Starkfield and whilst everyone “gave him a greeting,” his taciturnity was respected and it was only on “rare occasions” that anyone ever stopped him for a word.

The world shown in the novel is set up in such a way that no one can be greater or more powerful than others. The utopian society shown in the novel Brave New World presents a world that is supposed to be perfect in which everyone is happy. This may be true in some cases, but as shown by evidence in the analysis of three different characters, we can state that the perfect world is in actuality not a prefect world.
The word “thin” tells the reader that he isn’t necessarily weak but just in build he is quite slender. This differs to the stereotype in the 1930’s that men had to be ‘Manly men’ meaning tall strong and masculine. Another way Steinbeck portrays Curley’s hostility through appearance is when he writes “Like the boss, he wore high heeled boots”. This tells us that Curley probably wears these to lower his insecurities about himself i.e. his height.
This is obvious throughout the story because of his lack of connection with people, the stories he tells, and all the negative things he has to say about people.
