Of Mice and Men Conflicts                      Continued

1. One of the conflicts in the book that has progressed in this book was the racial discrimination against Crooks in "Of Mice and Men". This is shown by quotes such as "They won't let me play because I'm black." as well as the use of racial slurs directed towards him. Because of this conflict, Crooks tends to feel unimportant and he will tend to be extremely submissive to threats, slurs, etc.

2.Another recurring conflict in "Of Mice and Men" is that Curley does not give his wife very much attention. Because of this, Curley's wife tends to seek attention from other men on the ranch, as exhibited by quotes such as "I can't blame you for lookin'" said by Curley's Wife.
