g and not being scared of big guys. Curley then starts a fight with Lennie and the Curley punches Lennie. Why? Just so he could live up to the true Curley. What Curley is doing is that he is living up to the true him at others expense. Yells at people and starts fights and punches people at their expense.

What really surprises me is that he didn’t blame Crooks right way, because Crooks is black and blacks were really targeted back then. That’s another reason that he is awkward, he actually blamed Lennie instead of Crooks. You can tell that he is just blaming Lennie because he wants to get back at Lennie. Curley also wasn’t sitting there sobbing about his wife’s death. He doesn’t even act like he’s truly sorry about his wife’s death. He just sat there and blamed Lennie. He didn’t even think about calling the cops or anyone, he just wanted to go out there and kill Lennie.
