For my blog today I'm going to talk about how George and Lennie both reacted to Curley's wife. I think the author used Curely's wife to show us another way how George and Lennie are polar opposites. The way Lennie acted after the encounter with Curleys wife showed he would fall for any pretty girl in his sights. " Lennie still stared at the doorway where she had been. "(37)  Lennie can only see the positive's in life and not the consequences of stealing another mans wife. George on the other hand saw the reality and the straight consequences, George pulled Lennie real close and told him to not " even take a look at that b*tch.....I've seen 'em poison before."(37) That's Georges point of view, people can't have nice things until you know its safe. I believe this is foreshadowing a time in the book where the differences between George and Lennie decide their fate.
