Crooks feels hope for a moment thinking his life can become better even if his only friends are George, Lennie and Candy. He has no even been invited to live with them and Crooks is already willing to work like a slave as long as he has someone. Crooks is obviously a victim of the loneliness that invades the ranch but most important is the misfortunate consequences of
George and Lennie are two migrant workers in the 1930’s that have nothing but each other, and the hope for the realization of an American dream. George being the good man he is has to put up with Lennie who seems to be nothing but trouble. Lennie is an innocent man but the mild mental disability he carries in his life seems to work against him and George. Throughout the book we learn a great deal about the relationship between Lennie and George, and just why George made the decision he made at the end of the novella.
Of Mice and Men The book, “Of Mice and Men,” is written by John Steinback and it’s about an unlikely pair: George is “small and quick and dark in the face”; Lennie, a man of tremendous size and great strength, has the mind of a young child. They’re the main characters and they just basically go around California, looking for work in farms. The book took place during the Great Depression. But I’m wondering if George is a good friend to Lennie. I believe that George is a good friend to Lennie because he constantly looks out for Lennie and treats him well, not the best treatment towards a friend but it’s still good.
Atticus is a moral and honest man who runs a well off household while, Bob is poor and spends all of his Families welfare money on alcohol for himself. But enough about To Kill a Mocking Bird. In the story of Romeo and Juliet there are two characters that stick out as FOIL characters they are Tybalt and Benvolio. They are very different many ways, but there are also some similarities there between them. First off Tybalt and Benvolio are FOIL characters which means they have to be different in some way.
The story is crushingly sad. Dave makes a bid for more respect only to inspire shame and humiliation. He ends up further entrapped in a situation that made him feel diminished—something less than a man and also, perhaps, less than a person. The symbol of manhood in which Dave has invested so much—both financially and emotionally—fails him. This would seem to be proof that a gun does not make a man after all.
Elizabeth sees his inner goodness shine when he refuses to lie about being involved in witchcraft, and she realizes how unfair she has been. John Proctor saves the lives of the others who are accused when he unselfishly declines to save his own. He acts as a martyr when he places others before himself. He would rather die an honorable death than live a dishonorable life, which is what precedes him to be the tragic hero of the play. John Proctor, being a very complex character stuck in a world full mischief, madness, and chaos shows a major change as the play unfolds.
· At first, he turns Lennie away, hoping to prove a point that if he, as a black man, is not allowed in white men’s houses, then whites are not allowed in his, but his desire for company ultimately wins out and he invites Lennie to sit with him. · Perhaps what Crooks wants more than anything else is a sense of belonging—to enjoy simple pleasures such as the right to enter the bunkhouse or to play cards with the other men. · The name Crooks connotates a villain, someone horrible who is not wanted in society. · His pride is shown when he defends Lennie against Curley’s wife, but when she lashed out at him, he knows he must back down or face the consequences. · Inside he knows he is equal to every other man on the ranch as he is obsessed with his rights , but if he expressed these thoughts he would probably be forced out of the farm, or even worse possibly as black people were not excepted and many people were prejudice in america in the 1930's.
Another similarity between the two is that they are judged on their appearance. Crooks is a black man with a crooked spine, and Candy is an old, one-handed swamper. They also share a similar dream, a dream where they feel happy and free from the harshness of reality. Candy is the old handyman, called the swamper, he has only one hand due to the result of an accident. He worries that the boss will soon realize he is useless and easily replaceable, and demand that he leave the ranch.
He lives away from the others in a harness room, a little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn. Crooks is a proud but bitter man and clearly the most intelligent character. Crooks is a very angry man, especially towards the other men, the main reason is his race and he feels isolated. When Lennie wanders into Crooks room in a misguided endeavour to make friends he immediately tells Lennie that he should go but when Crooks realizes that Lennie has no bad intentions he relents and allows him to stay. Crooks attempts to make Lennie realize his isolation from the other workers, he freely admits it.
