How is each character introduced in "Of mice and men"?

In the introduction of crook is of a very lonely person as he is a “negro stable buck” this is further emphasised when we know “he had his bunk in the harness” this tells us that he was separated from the rest of the ranch workers because of his colour because during the depression black people and white people were separated and weren’t meant to mix. Crooks room was “A little shed that leaned off the wall of the barn” this is ironic because animals lived in the barn and his bunk was near it because it could symbolize he was seen/treated as an animal in society or he had the same status of an animal this reflects the society during the great. “He had books too” this tells the reader how he spent his spare time reading because he has nobody else to talk to this idea is further emphasized by his “golden spectacles” which he mays have used to help him read the use of the word “golden” makes the glasses seem precious which could reflect it was important to him because it was his only pass-time because he was very lonely and he had no-one to talk to. He kept a “mauled copy of the California civil rights code for 1905” this tells us he was aware that his colour made him inferior to society but he still kept a copy of the civil rights code to see what rights he had access to. Due to his low status he wanted to have rights and he wanted to be treated fair, this could be another reason why he kept the civil rights code. The name “crooks” is a reference to his crooked back, this could be because of all the hard work he has done on the ranch. An alternative interpretation is at it is a metaphor for the way the discrimination he has suffered through his life has crippled him emotionally and physically. He is also described as a “proud and aloof man” which suggests that he keeps his distance and likes to retain some personal dignity and privacy. "his eyes lay deep in his head, and because of their depth seemed to glitter with intensity". This is a portrayal of Crooks' eyes. The combination of darkness and light here implies the loneliness and inner heat of Crooks. Crooks is a black and is separated by the whites so he is very lonely. The depth of his eyes suggests that he is sad, tired and lonely, but the "eyes glitter with intensity", which suggests that in his deep heart, he is longing for accompaniment and he has depressed passion inside.

Curley is described as a “young thin man” with “brown face, with brown eyes” this could suggest that he has spent a lot of time out in the sun. He has “head of tightly curled hair” which suggest he is wound up like a spring all the time. ”like the boss He wore high heeled boots” which shows his high status on the ranch and possibly wants to be taller so people can look up to him and he can look down on everybody else. He wants to show that he is different to the rest of them and show his more powerful than the rest that is why he dresses like the boss and imitates him. His body language and behaviour shows he is very aggressive and violent because “he glances coldly at George and then at lennie” as if he is sizing them up.” he stiffened
