VOICE (who is heard in the novel and who isn't?)
POWER (who has it? Whop doesn't? who wants it? how does power, or lack thereof, affect characters?)
RACE (is race an issue in the novel? the absence of race can be a major issue. how is race addressed?)
GENDER (how are males and females portrayed? are they victims or perpetrators?)
CLASS (is class important in the novel? what does the author say about class divisions
In Of Mice and Men Curly has power. At least he thinks he does. what i mean by this is, Curly acts all big and bad. He tries starting fights with Lennie and when he finally does Lennie squooches curly s hand and breaks it. George just told curly to keep it a secret and say he got his had stuck in a machine. Curly when along with the lie cus he didn't want his image to look bad cus he got beat by someone else. The workers are the people who really don't have power. they would get fired if they to have power i feel. Race is a little issue in this book because the black people cant sleep in the same place as the white people do. Its not right but that's how it was then. Females are portrayed as whores. As what the whole class says. but i feel curly s wife is flirting with all the ranch workers because she is lonely. cus curly leaves her all the time to work and stuff. i feel that there is a class division. curly has money and so it goes along with the power too. money helps him have more power twards everyone else at the ranch. Candy kind of has money and is going to help out lennie and george with there dream on having a farm and so lennie can tend the rabbits. so even though candy has a higher class than lennie and george he is tring to help them out unlike curly who just wants to start fights.
