John Steinbeck Cruel

Steinbeck tells a story of loneliness and inequality. Throughout the novella, characters are often alone and are in some way treated differently from others. The story took place in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. People during that time period just wanted to survive; that was their idea of the American Dream. They traded survival for happiness. All the characters in the novella are somewhat alone and have nobody to count on. Curley’s wife is the loneliest in the novella because she is the only woman on the ranch, she is in an unhappy marriage, and she is mistreated because she’s the only woman.

Steinbeck’s message involves women. According to him, women are unimportant and shouldn’t be involved in working society. Also, that women don’t work and aren’t busy. In the book, most women do not have names, they refer to them in ways such as “Curley’s wife.” This shows that women were thought to not be as important as the men. Then, there is Aunt Clara who has a name, but Steinbeck makes Lennie constantly forget her name. He is saying the same thing as with Curley’s wife that women aren’t important and her own relative can’t remember her name. Women were also thought to be a burden or hold men back from achieving the american dream, or living the life they want to live, for example when Aunt Clara is talking about George in Lennie’s dream. She said, “All the time he coulda had such a good time if it wasn’t for you. He woulda took his pay an’ raised hell in a whore house, and he coulda set in a poolroom an’ played snooker.

With Curley’s wife, she wanted to be an actress and said that she had the opportunity but it was her mom that was holding her back. Yet she was “discovered” at a dancing club which did not seem to give her the clue that it was not for real. This comes to show how today, everyone wants to be famous, actor, singer, internet star, but it is just the real world and not everyone gets to be or gets what they want.
