How does Steinbeck present and develop the theme of exclusion in 'Of Mice and Men'? In the novel, there's a strong link to the theme of exclusion within the characters. Steinbeck presents this by describing the character in a certain way to make the reader aware of the social ranking and judgement, and does this by also giving the reader of how characters refer to each other and why this may portray exclusion and how. An example of a character which is highly excluded and isolated in the novel is Crooks, the stable buck. We know that this character is excluded from the minute that he's introduced to the reader.

As the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' unfolds, Harper Lee develops a vision of the society of Maycomb. Maycomb exhibits many of the values and attitudes of traditional Southern culture. As well as racial prejudice, people's attitudes convey social injustices. Maycomb's society has rigid segregations and social status is dependant on family background. In a community so deprived from any but its own prejudices, those who don't fit in, those who think or act in a way which is considered to be different or out of line, suffer the pain of isolation as a consequence.
Women also had very few rights, like Curley’s wife had to be dependent on Curley’s dad and him for shelter. There are many different levels of prejudice exhibited in Of Mice and Men.
