Bench Mark Essays :Between the Line

1.)What differences exist between Curley and George?
Differences that exist between Curley and George are that Curley is married while George is single. Curley also is the son of the boss on the ranch. Curley's attitude is nasty, arrogant, and rude. He walks around with his head on his shoulders like he's someone to be reckoned with. He even flaunts his wife around in a sense as if she a trophy. He tries to bully Lennie too. Although George has a very sarcastic attitude towards Lennie and is up front with him, he never tries to intimidate or bully Lennie. And he is a low, working class guy and down to earth with good intensions unlike Curley.

2.) Can you write in your own words of what George meant by "I seen em poison before, but I never seen no piece of jail bait worse than her".
When George makes this quote from above he meant that he has seen women with similar traits as Curley's wife but hasn't seen any (women) that are worst than her sneaky, "rat trap" ways.

3.) Can you provide an example of how the character, George, might be chauvinistic or misogynistic?
Evidence that allows me to believe George is chauvinistic is in the book on page 32, he says, “Don’t even take a look at the Bitch.” I don’t care what she says and what she does.” In this quote he refers to Curley’s wife as a bitch. He tells Lennie this to keep him away from her because she’s considered a “rat trap” who gets people in trouble all the time. Other characters at the ranch also share similar views about her including Candy, the old man.
