I think Crooks is far worse off than Lennie. Even though he is undeniably isolated, at least he is accepted to some degree by his fellow men. Crooks is utterly alone and he knows it.

I Think Crooks is worse off than Lennie.  Lennie is not really aware of what is happening.  Crooks knows he is being treated badly.  Ignorance is bliss.

Steinbeck often describes the the horses rattling their chains. What could this represent?

Lots of events can be seen in the novel as forshadowing.  The death of Candy's dog and George repeating to Lennie to return to the brush if things go wrong

Steinbeck frequently uses animal imagery to good effect.  Consider how Lennie is compared with animals, and how the use of animals and nature can show the context within which the novella is set.

What is the American Dream and is it achievable?

When Curley's hand is crushed, some men take him to the hospital and then go into Soledad to visit Old Suzy's place. Does Curley go with them to the brothel? And what about George?

Yes but it is very hard to sympathise with her when she threatens to get Crooks lynched for no reason.

She even calls him a "nigger" to his face.

Maybe Steinbeck is trying to show us how those at the bottom of the heap always turn on one another?

I agree with Miss Hallam. I also find it interesting that the novella explores dreams and their impact on the characters. I love the fact that they have bought into The American Dream  but have no chance of achieving it The American Dream  because the idea is ridiculous in reality (espeically during the Great Depression!)

Mr Warner
(badly worded, sorry!)

I think the most fascinating theme explored in this novel is that of power. The different types of power; who is powerful and who isn't; who abuses their power and who doesn't; how people cope when they have little power over their own lives. If the ranch in this novel is a microcosm of 1930's America, what would today's 'ranch' look like?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mr Warner.  She is the only female on the ranch.  Who is she supposed to talk to?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Curley's wife is really hard done by. Her problems are the consequence of her situation on the ranch. How would you feel if you were in her situation?
