"They left all the weak ones here..."

Chapter Four provides a look at the "misfits" of the ranch. Even among "their kind," these four-Crooks, Lennie, Curley's wife, and Candy--show both the human need for acceptance and the desire for dominance. Explain how so. Through which of these characters did Steinbeck best convey these conflicts in the human condition? Explain specifically. (The deadline to post a response to this blog question is midnight January 22, 2012.)

Curley wants to be better than the bigger men and dominant. Lennie just wants to be alone and have friends. Curleys wife wants all the men to want her but she also wants someone to talk to. Crook just wants the meen to approach him. I think ths is best illustrated with curleys wife because. She is so desperate to be accepted byall the men and she just wants a friend this clearly illustrates basic human nature

Candy just wants a place to go when no one wants him anymore where he will be accepted
