You do not have your parents with you. Just by imagination, we can feel that how much horror and stress the monster would have had at the moment of birth. Abandoned by his creator and confused, he tries to make himself a member of society but gets exiled. At the part where the monster tries to find a residence in the society, “Being thus provided, I resolved to reside in this hovel, until something should occur which might alter my determination. It was indeed a paradise, compared to the bleak forest, my former residence, the rain-dropping branches and dank earth”, I had a thought that the monster is too frustrated and timid at the reactions of people and already withdrew his hospitality from the attacks of human beings.
The first thing Candy tells us about the boss that he decided to take his anger out on the stable buck when he realizes that George and Lennie were late." An' he give the stable buck hell,too" Stienbeck is trying to tell us the boss gives me a bad time because he is different from the rest of the men in the ranch and he is the only black man. So it is easy for them to bully him as he doesn't have anyone to stick up for him.

Crooks dream of becoming equal is destroyed by the racist attitudes of others This also tells readers the boss is nice to crook when his not angry, this is because Crook do his
As the government had strict censorship on books and journals when information did get through it would usually be made even more powerful as the government had attempted to ban it. Also due to the fact that free speech was denied political parties were driven underground and led the political activists to extremism. Also with the use of the Okerana as a secret police force many people were unsettled by the government using them against their own people. With the programme of industrialisation creating factories and jobs in cities many peasants moved there in a hope of a better life. However what they found was poor pay, poor housing and with trade unions being banned they had no one to help them.
Wipe it out of your mind, we never touched Abby." Clearly from this quote, Proctor was ashamed of his affair with Abigail and was angry with his self because he committed adultery. Proctor wished to forget the affair but as the play went on, he finds it hard to convince Abigail to stop having feelings for him. Also, we learned about the hatred between Proctor and Parris, they both did not get along due to different beliefs and culture. Proctor did not like the authority Parris had as he said, “I like not the smell of this authority.” Proctor hated Parris so much that he did not attend church regularly.
Back in medieval Europe, there was a lack of medical knowledge therefore the preventions of catching the bubonic plague were very weird and some were very useless. Some preventions were to keep isolated in houses were everybody was healthy and was not sick. Some ran away leaving their families and houses escaping to the countryside. An extreme prevention was the flagellants which went round to towns beating themselves until they bled; this was done because to show remorse and regrets for the sins they did and that their pain would help God to stop the plague. “…they were men who did public penance and scourged themselves with whips of hard knotted leather with little iron spikes.

People will always do what they want to do trying not to get caught. In the book the defense attorneys were not fair with Jefferson’s trial and they were not nice either by considering him a hog. In trials in the society today people get chances and say on what they did or didn’t do to prove how they’re not guilty. In the novel an innocent black man was not treated with respect. Jefferson was treated as a poor lowlife creature.
What was the peasants’ major grievance against the nobles? * A major grievance for the peasant’s was the way they were treated by the other classes.

The conditions were so bad many people ended up unable to work due to sickness or death from either the meat or exhaustion. Sinclair made it clear that the poor peasants were the hardest working and received nothing in return. His passion in writing is so deep for the lower class folks when he expresses the value of each individual in Jurgis’ group and their drive to keep
It is portrayed as a very un-kept building which may be Steinbeck representation of men in those time as they only care about money, drink and women. Steinbeck describes the bunkhouse as 'long', 'rectangular' and the 'walls were whitewashed' and 'the floor unpainted' This shows quite a negative connotation as it means that the ranch owner doesn't really care at all about his workers he just wants them to work so he can earn money. We also that the workers don't own very much as they have '2 selves' showing that many don't own much because of the depression and that they move a lot so they don't carry to much. We also see that there are a few windows '3 small square windows' therefore they don't allow much light in this could mean that the dream that all the men want is so slim that it most likely will not happen for them and that they will either fail here or will just leave and try their luck somewhere else. It may also be foreshadowing that because there is not much light that for George and Lennie something bad is going to happen meaning that it is not a good place for them to be.
