The definition of the word crucible is a container in which materials are heated so as to separate the pure from the impurities.

Eventually, he regresses back to childhood and crawls to Stephen, asking him to “hold me” and to “call me by my name”. After this, Weir becomes dependant on alcohol, with clear symptoms of alcoholism; his shaking hands and the “inability to talk sensibly until the liquor had put some strength and reason inside him”. He is also a superstitious man, searching for constant reassurance from Stephen in the form of tarot card reading, finding hope and comfort from the outcomes. His lack of familiarity with women is one that reduces his masculinity, as it is expected of men to be confident and experienced with women by his age. When Stephen takes him to the prostitutes’ house, the old woman said that Weir started to cry, revealing his fear of intimacy with women, a trait unexpected of the typical
Chapter ten The Leech And His Patient is about Chillingworth's "investigation" of Dimmesdale to clarify that he is the father of Pearl. Chillingwoth goes to extremes when he becomes "fiercely obsessed by his search into Dimmesdale's heart". When having a heated convesation with Dimmesdale, Chillingworth raises a question about "why a man would be willing to carry "secret sins" to his grave rather than confess them during his lifetime." Dimmesdale reminds Chillingworth that most men do not confess their sins and that they are rewarded peace. But Pearl shocks the men in this chapter when she and Hester show up and Pearl flicks a prickly bur and Dimmesdale.
When Lennie first enters Crooks’ room, Crooks is deeply hostile to him, “he stiffened and a scowl came on his face”. Steinbeck writes Crooks with this reaction because he is relating his reaction to the bigger theme of the book: The Dream.

Also, it eventually become obvious that Crooks is seeing that he has the opportunity to be cruel to Lennie, as he realises Lennie is simple and not like the white men because “A guy can talk to you an’ he be sure you won’t go blabbin’”.
Lennie expecting and eager for George to give him more hell does not get the answer he expects because George knows that he is about to end Lennies life. He wants to end Lennie’s life on a better not. The repetition of that phrase especially using that word enhances the mood of this scene because it creates the uneasy scary feeling that Steinbeck wants you to feel.

This book conveys a mood of sadness and hope at the same time; towards the end it conveys a fearful mood as Lennies life came to an end.
During the story his loneliness becomes obvious and he wants a close friend and is jealous of the relationship between George and Lennie and says to Lennie when George is out “S’pose he (George) gets hurt so he can’t come back”, maybe hoping if this is true he could be Lennie’s close friend.
