“Of mice and men is a novel that presents both the barbarity and the beauty of human nature” Essay

I agree with this because Steinbeck shows barbarity in the book of factss. One example of this is when Lennie kills Curleys wife by accident. I roll in the hay this because it says he quickly becomes excited and holds on in addition tight, frightening her Lennie panics and clamps his unattackable hands over her mouth to silence her This is effective because Lennie doesnt unclutter that hes killed Curleys wife by stroking her pilus just it shows that his actions were cruel and his chances of his American dream has been ruined. The enunciates holds on too tight shows that Lennie had got over excited while touching/stroking iodin of his favourite things and he doesnt realise that hes held on tight and cant restrain himself from letting go of her hair.The word panics shows that Lennie didnt know what to do as soon as he heard her screaming so he couldnt help just keep holding on to her. We can tell that Lennie doesnt take aim to be barbaric towards people but due to his simple mental capacity he just cant help it. Another focus we know Lennie is barbaric is because of his animalistic side, Steinbeck uses the deaths of the small animals to show that despite good- personalityd to stroke nice things, he ends up killing them.Steinbeck also shows the hit of human nature in the Novel. Examples of this is when Lennie constantly gets compared to animals with his actions. I know this because it says He walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, panache a defy drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely. This is effective because Lennie is being compared to an animal, a bear. A massive, or sotimes violent creature. The word hung loosely shows that he was simple apt(p) in everything he did so he didnt really think about the things he did. Another word the way a bear drags his paws shows that he was compared to a bear because of his strength and movement. Another quote would be His huge companion dropped his blankets and flung him self down and drank from the surface of the green pool drank with presbyopic gulps, snorting into the water like a horse. The small man stepped nervously beside him Lennie being compared to an animal but this time, a horse who has to be kept from drinking too much water. It at least shows that he has some responsibility to control the natural world.Another way Steinbeck shows barbarity is with the character Crooks. He gives Crooks character a hatred towards the men in the ranch. I know this because it says Crooks said sharply, You got no right to come in my room. This heres my room. Nobody got any right in here but me This is effective because it shows that Crooks didnt like the other men because of the way they handle him so he has to be barbaric to them. The word sharply shows that Crooks genuinely meant what he said although Lennie was being nice, it could also demonstrate that he precious to take out his anger to Lennie because he realised Lennie wouldnt show what Crooks w as actually saying to him. The word nobody got any right in here shows that he wanted treat them the exact same way they treated him in the ranch. Crooks is barbaric because he was treated that way so he might aswell treat the others the way theyve been treating him. In conclusion I think Of mice and men does present the barbarity and beauty of human nature because the characters always had two sides to them whether they were happy or not so it did piss the novel very interesting to read.
