- Prejudice in Of Mice and Men
- Discrimination towards Crooks- the '***** stable buck'
- Crooks is often treated with a mixture on contempt and indifference.. either picked on or just ignored
- a '******'
- 'I could get you stung up on a tree so easy it ain't even funny'
- The boss always gives Crooks 'hell', he's an easy target for frustration
- Candy calls Crooks a 'nice fella', but still doesn't seem to care about how he is treated
- Crooks is often treated with a mixture on contempt and indifference.. either picked on or just ignored
- Predjudice makes Crooks Bitter
- He is angry that the's not invited into the bunk house, so he won't let the other ranchers into his room
- but he still wants companionship..
- ' A guy needs somebody.. a guy goes nuts if he ain't got nobody
- People on the ranch have no respect for their elders
- Candy is very old, and knows it won't be long until they 'can' him from his job. after that no-one will employ him because he 'aint much good with on'y one hand'
- Candy's feelings don't seem important to the other men on the ranch, he doesn't get any sympathy when Carsoln wants to shot his old dog.
- Candy's dog represents Candy himself, when its to old to be useful, it's got rid of
- Curley's wife also looks down on Candy, she dismisses him as a 'lousy ol' sheep' and seems him no beter than Lennie and Crooks- the 'dum-dum' and the '******'
- Discrimination towards Crooks- the '***** stable buck'
