He was too busy thinking about how to siege the fort by the river. His wild imagination was leading his away from reality. He even spilled cream all over himself without even realizing it.

There’s the part in the book where one of the main characters George tells his friend Lennie not to speak and it ends up getting him into a fight and then when Lennie tells Curleys wife not to speak. The first reason why conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak is the part in the book when George and Lennie first move in and are settling down at the ranch. They're just minding their own business when Curley who’s the bosses’ son walks in. George has told Lennie not to speak because whenever Lennie speaks it always gets himself and/or George into trouble. By Lennie not speaking it really annoyed Curley and Curley thought Lennie was mucking him around so Curley got really angry at Lennie for not speaking and they ended up having a fight and they both got hurt.
After working all day in the fields candy’s (another worker) dog who is old and smells, walks into the room making everyone else angry this shows foreshadow because putting the dog down represents the responsibility of having to care for something and with candy it is his dog where he has to have its best interests in heart. Then later in the passage candy says to George how he should have shot his dog instead of letting Carlson does it. This foreshadows the end of the book where George ends up having to shoot lennie to keep him from suffering just like candy and his dog where both parties just wanted their friend to have a happy ending to their life. This foreshadowing contributes to the book in the long run because at that point in the book you know what George is going to have to do at the end of the book and this shows how the character is going to have to change before the end because from this text you know that something is going to happen between George and lennie and this foreshadowing crates suspense because you know it’s going to happen it’s just you don’t know when causing the reader to always be on the guard for when it does creating a dark and suspenseful atmosphere for the remainder of the
When Curly first saw Lennie, he already had a bad impression towards him because Curly hated people that are bigger than him. What made it worse is that George was talking for Lennie because he didn't want him to say anything that could compromise their jobs. Curly got suspicious at Lennie because he didn't talk much, so George told Curly that Lennie is is cousin and that when he was young he got kicked in the head by a horse which caused his mental disablity. As Curley left, George told Lennie that he should avoid Curly before anything happens, but if Curly wanted a fight just give it to him and teach him a lesson. Minutes later, 2 of the handymen around the farm returned to the bunkhouse that they were in.
In the novel of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the characters most responsible for the death of Curley’s wife are Candy and Curley. Candy is one of the characters responsible for the death of Curley’s wife because he gossips about her and he rejects her. For example, when George and Lennie first arrive at the ranch, they meet Candy in the bunkhouse who tells them that he saw Curley’s wife, “…give Slim the eye” (28). Candy gives the new workers, George and Lennie, information about Curley’s wife being flirtatious to other ranch workers even though she is married. Due to Candy’s bad impression of Curley’s wife to George and Lennie, George became paranoid and gave Lennie strict rules to follow, which eventually caused Curley’s wife to die as a result.
“Nothing—I seen your light. I thought I could jus’ come in an’ set” (68). This shows that Lennie is nice to people, he tries to make friends with everybody excluding Curley. George and Lennie are foils because George is cruel to him and always yells at him, while Lennie is nice and tries to make friends with everyone at the ranch. This shows that George and Lennie are foils because their physical traits are different: George being small and Lennie being huge, their intellectual capacity: George being smart and Lennie being simple, and their personality traits: George being cruel to Lennie and Lennie being nice and not caring
Curley uses violence to emphasise his masculinity to both the other ranch hands and his wife, and take advantage of anybody who he thinks is weak, hence why the mentally-slow Lennie is his usual target. Curley took a strong dislike upon Lennie the moment that they met, simply because Lennie was bigger than him. Curley doesn't like feeling belittled so constantly feels the need to aggresively harm anybody whom he feels threatened by and almost control them, this quote said by Candy backs this up: "Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys.
