svar på oppgave 1. kopiert rett fra wiki

 

• George Milton – protagonist; a quick-witted man who is friends with Lennie. He looks after Lennie and dreams of a better life.

 

• Lennie Small – protagonist; An intellectually disabled man who travels with George. He dreams of "living off the fatta' the lan'" and being able to tend to rabbits. He possesses a child's mental ability, but the strength of a "bull", resulting in inability to control or judge his own strength. This results in accidental killings when the objects of his affection try to escape him (such as mice and his puppy).

 

• Slim – A "jerk line skinner"(the main driver of a mule team). Slim is greatly respected by many characters in the story. He is the only character that Curley treats with respect. He is described as "The Prince of the Ranch".

 

• Candy – A ranch worker who lost a hand in an accident and is near the end of his useful life on the ranch.

•

• Crooks – The only African American ranch-hand, referred to as a "nigger" by almost all. Like Candy, he is crippled: his nickname refers to a crooked back resulting from being kicked by a horse. He sleeps segregated from the other workers, but is fiercely protective of his "rights.

 

• Curley – antagonist; The boss's son – a young, pugnacious character, once a semi-professional boxer. He is very jealous and protective of his wife and immediately dislikes Lennie.

• Curley's wife – A young, pretty woman, sometimes called a "tart" by the men and mistrusted by her husband. The other characters refer to her only as "Curley's wife," and she is the only significant character in the novella without a name. She had dreams of becoming an actress, and is often mean-spirited and bullying towards the ranch-hands.
