Explore how Steinbeck initially presents the relationship between George and Lennie and how this foreshadows the events which follow in the novel. John Steinbeck shows the reader throughout the novel how important a friendship is, especially in the depressive 1930's, and how much two people can rely and support each other in order to survive the inauspicious future. If Steinbeck was to take the bond the two men share away it would create an incompetent, difficult and almost impossible journey.

While getting his portrait painted Harry talks to Dorian about how “[…] youth is the only thing worth having” (Wilde 11) and that “beauty is a form of genius […]” (11).

Frank on the other hand does not struggle with class issues, nor does he fail to recognize the world he lives in. However, Frank is also a prime example of the effects of primary socialisation, as demonstrated by his eccentric father and his brother who is of a violent mental disposition. A culmination of Frank’s upbringing and penis envy produced a violent sadistic character. Although both characters share some poignant similarities, both share an absentee mother, which represents in their mind the evil of all women; ultimately it’s Clegg that’s more tightly bound then Frank. Clegg wins the pools; it would seem to provide an escape from his mundane life as a clerk.

The most important conclusion Shakespeare has drawn about the nature of humanity in King Lear is the fact that evil is not something the gods have cursed you with at birth but it is something that you choose for yourselfACt . The contrast he uses shows us that Edmoud had everything he needed to be good, he had the look and he had the attitude , but ultimately he chose to wrong path, he was blinded by power and his need to be treated as an equal.
