Curly Discussion (Blog 2)

Hello everyone. I have much to talk about in regards to Of Mice and Men and more specifically Curly and the scene when he confronted George. From what we've seen Curly seems to be a stuck-up brat, being the son of the ranch owner. He confronts George and says, "By Christ he's got to talk when he's spoke to. What the hell are you gettin' into it for?" From this quote, we know he doesn't like Lennie and is trying to get him to talk. Later, after argument, George rants, "Lennie ain't handy, but this Curly punk is gonna get hurt if he messes around with Lennie." I believe the element of foreshadowing is being hidden here. I believe eventually Curly and Lennie will get in a skirmish and Lennie will win. Eventually, Curly will learn not to mess with Lennie and will avoid him. Thank you everyone for your time today!
