He tried to save his wife from the humiliation and the torture she was about to endure, but she made it very clear through her trial how she felt about him. “‘I have my own man?” Mu glanced at her husband and smirked.

He always comes before I feel anything.’” She treats her husband poorly in front of the whole town, even after he tried to help her out.
George and Lennie ate beans in the campsite in both the novel and the movie. Lennie tried to sneak the dog into the bunk house and George made him put it back. Lennie, in both the novel and the movie, had the same exact characteristics. He was always acting like a child and had very little clue of what was going on around him. Lennie also killed Curley’s Wife in both of them.
Wes just continues to eat his cake in silence like a question wasn’t directed at him and like there isn’t a pressing matter in his life right now that needed to be sorted. However, in the basement are where all the major conversations happen and where all the pivotal moments occur in the novel. An example of a pivotal conversation in the novel would be when “…But two men did not come through the door. It was my father alone. ‘I’ll move him to jail first thing in the morning’ (pg.
She begins talking to them and calls them “bindle-stiffs.” Eventually Crooks had enough of her and stood up for himself “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room… get out quick” (88). She quickly retaliates saying he needs to shut his mouth and keep in his place; she could get him hanged easily. Crooks immediately loses hope of a new life with Lennie and candy. He enters back into his emotional isolation. “Crooks had reduced himself to nothing” (89).
The public would never question his judgment knowing the power that he has and the consequences that follow breaking this law, but not Antigone. Antigone changed the public opinion on the law without intending to do so. “… Everyone will tell you only what you like to hear. But I, at any rate, can listen: and I have heard them muttering and whispering in the dark about this girl. They say no women has ever, so unreasonably, died so shameful a death for a generous act: “She covered her brother’s body.
‘No one cares about me’ this makes the reader feel sorry for her as nobody cares about her and nobody wants to be with her. At Curley’s wife death the reader feels for her as when Lennie is touching her hair and gets harder and harder it says ‘her eyes were wild with terror’ which makes the reader feel bad as she only wanted somebody to talk to and when she finds someone to talk to she gets killed for just being nice and letting Lennie feel her hair. Curley has something to do with his wife wanting attention as he goes out to town every Saturday with the men and they go to the brothel while she sits at home and isn’t even allowed out just to the town. Curley also sort of traps Curley’s wife by not letting her speak to the men but his allowed to do what he wants. She only gets attention from Curley and she doesn’t even get much attention from him so wants to speak to others to make her feel less
The thing that Saul’s daughter had done to David. But Janie had done worse, she had cast down his empty armor before men and they had laughed, would keep on laughing. When he paraded his possessions hereafter, they would not consider the two together. They’d look with envy at the things and pity the man that owned them. When he sat in judgment it would be the same.
These images of identity and self free radical not from inherent feelings of worthlessness in Lucy. Instead, they are the merchandise of the reactions of others whose cruelty makes her believe she is "undesirable" as a person because of the undesirability of her body. Even Lucy's father fails to visit her often in the infirmary because he cannot bear to witness his daughter's physical condition. Lucy initially internalizes these reactions of others, as did the narrator in Bone Black, until she learns to define herself irrespective of outside(a) reaction, attitudes, and
Boo Radley is portrayed as en evil figure for most of the novel, mainly due to rumours circulating about him. For example, Jem is told by Miss Stephanie Crawford (the town gossip) that Boo “[drives] [a pair] of scissors into his [father’s] leg, pull[s] them out, wipe[s] them on his pants, and resume[s] his activities” (11).Boo’s innocence is shown, however, when Jem says to Scout; “I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time. It’s because he wants to stay inside"(231). This passage reveals to the reader that Boo Radley is not a figure to be afraid of, but to be pitied. Boo is afraid of how Maycomb will judge him, much like how the blacks are judged and prejudiced against by the whites.
Peters and I stayed behind. Mrs. Perters asked me in Mrs. Wright did it and to be honest… I wasn’t sure. She also told me that Mr. Peters says that it doesn’t look too goo for Mrs. Wright’ that Mr. Henderson is awfully sarcastic in his speech and that he will make fun of her for saying she didn’t wake up for the incident. I didn’t have an answer for Mrs. Peters. She also claimed that it they believed it was afunny way to kill a man which is strange because my husband didn’t underdstand since there was a gun in the Wirghts’ house.
