Analyzing Curly and his role in the story (Blog #2)

From the first time we saw Curly we knew we wouldn't like him. He was short but he tried to validate himself by trying to fight Lennie who then crushed his hand. This shows a true side of Curly of self doubt and insecurity about his height. Because of these insecurities he wants to fight others and take it out on them. I predict he is going to be the main problem throughout this story by provoking and annoying George and Lennie. I think it is also interesting how he makes Lennie talk almost like he knows something is wrong with him and wants to find it out so he can get him of the ranch.
