In this video the characters from, Of Mice and Men, are discussed. Of Mice and Men does not have a large cast of characters; we only
meet ten people throughout the course of the short novel. These
characters, however, are all clearly described by... Steinbeck and all
have distinctive or memorable features. Nine of the characters are men.
Two are old; the remainder mostly fall into the bracket of middle age.
Curley's wife is the only female we meet. She is young and appears just three times. With a few exceptions, the characters are all lonely. We also see almost a subgroup of characters that are weak: Lennie, Candy, Crooks and Curley's wife. This clip will examine all the characters in turn, studying their personalities, motivations and their place in the story. It will also discuss some of the symbolism Steinbeck portrays through his characters, and the parallels he draws between them.
