And that our views on life are very different to what life is. Steinbeck also uses candy to reflect another characteristic in ourselves which is commonly known as pack mentality.

But in Crooks’s hut they have the upper hand and we see them all verbally attack curly’s wife. This is a reflection of our human tendency to band together whenever we can to gain the upper hand and weather this is a good thing or not is down to

Dwight constantly sets him up for ridicule. For example, he makes him “shuck” horse chestnuts without gloves, which is an incredibly difficult task. His fingers become covered with a yellow stain and people think that he is hygienically unclean.
She is completely unable to control her feelings for her only love, “I must love a loathed enemy” [I, v, 139].

Lord Capulet becomes enraged of this defiant behaviour, “An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend / an you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, / For, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee” [III, v, 192-4].

Hamlet and Ophelia should not marry as it is essential for Hamlet to stay away from Ophelia to fake his insanity and also, Hamlet accuses Ophelia as being deceptive and he currently detests love and marriage. To carry out his plan to avenge his father’s death, Hamlet has to make everyone believe that he has gone insane and Ophelia might jeopardize that very plan, as she is too submissive to her father. This is known from the line, “I shall obey, my lord” (I.iii.136). In this quote, Ophelia shows abundance of her obedience to Laertes, her father. Laertes is Claudius’s right hand man and if he got hold of the information that Hamlet is faking insanity, he would unquestionably report it to the king and that will foil Hamlet’s quest for revenge in the future.

Like, Antigone and Ismene fought quite a bit when Antigone wanted to bury her brothers corpse after he had just been tossed aside for the animals to eat. Ismene is trying to talk her out of it because she tells antigone to “Think of the danger! Think of what Creon will do” but Antigone reassures her that “Creon is not strong enough to stand in my way”(prologue, l. 34-35) .
What for? To die for burying her own brother, that is also from her blood and flesh. In contrary, leaving him to be eaten and pecked by crows till he rots, or do the honors and bury him.
