Section 4

Chapter 4

The chapter opens in Crook’s room. He does not live with the other men, because he is black. He has a lot of pain in his back and he rubs a cream into it to ease the pain. Lennie comes in, looking for someone to talk to. George and the other men have gone into town to visit women. At first Crooks is not very pleased at being disturbed, but he realizes that Lennie is so simple that he can tell him whatever he likes and Lennie will not repeat or remember it. Crooks teases Lennie, by suggesting that George might never get back from town and Lennie might never see him again. Lennie gets very worried and then angry - Crooks becomes frightened of Lennie in this mood and quickly stops teasing him. He tells Lennie how lonely he gets sometimes. Candy arrives, looking for Lennie; he comes into Crook’s room – something he has never done before. Candy and Lennie tell Crooks about their plans to have a farm of their own and keep rabbits. Crooks asks if maybe he could come and live and work with them. Curley’s wife appears and says she is looking for Curley, although she knows he has gone into town with the other men. The men tell her to go away and leave them alone because she is trouble. She asks what has happened to Curley’s hand, they tell her that he caught it in a machine, but she doesn’t believe them. She is very cruel to Crooks, and tells him that if she wanted to, she could have him hanged (pretending he was trying to attack her) Candy tells her if she told stories like that the other men would tell the truth about her. She leaves the room and George returns.
