Part 2

      In part 2 of Of Mice and Men, several new characters are revealed, and from one of them, it is Curley. Curley is a young man with curled hair, he wore a glove on his left hand, and he wore high-heeled boots like the boss did. I think that the boots he wore symbolized that he wanted to be treated like the boss, and that he wanted respect from the other workers. His disposition was described by his speech and his actions. An example for his cold disposition was when he first "He glanced coldly at George and then Lennie" (25). This shows that he showed no respect to others, he wasn't welcoming, and that he had a cold personality. Another example of his disposition is when Curley makes Lennie speak instead of George talking for him. "George said, 'S'pose he don't want to talk?' Curley lashed his body around. 'By Christ, he's gotta talk when he's spoke to. What the h-ll are you gettin' into it for?'" (25). Curley doesn't want anyone talking back to him, knowing that he has more power than others. He also wants everything under his power, so anyone new to the job should respect him. I think the Curley's role in the book is to be an obstacle for Lennie and his life in the vegetable fields. I think that someone or something that has to do with Curley will tangle with Lennie and become an issue.
