Part 2:
Throughout the second section of the book, George repeatedly states his dislike for Curly, how he "...don't like mean little guys"(27). I think this might be foreshadowing for a brawl between these two, over something such as Curly's harsh treatment toward Lennie, "He glanced coldly...at Lennie. His arms gradually bent at the elbows and his hands closed into fists...Lennie squirmed under the look and shifted his feet nervously"(25). Curly's always attacking Lennie, making him feel lesser, the guys in the bunk say "Curly's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys, He's alla time picking scraps with big guys"(26). Bug guys like Lennie ought to be able to handle Curly's rough treatment, but Lennie won't understand whats happening, he might go to much or not enough, and probably leave the battling to George.
