'Of Mice and Men- Candy character analysis Essay\r'

'Steinbeck presents glass over as a undefended character. He does this by referencing him as an â€Å" gaga populace” before citing his name, using pre-modification; so that the reader presently knows not only his physical state hardly maybe that metaphori bellyachey he is a flea-bitten person. He is also shown to be desperate throughout the opening of chapter 2, where he tries to make friends with George and Lennie as in short as he meets them. He gossips some otherwise people on the banquet and makes sure George â€Å" win’t tell Curley nothing”.\r\nThis quote only when indicates Candy is lonely and just wants to have friends entirely deep down is afraid of the other work force on the ranch, implying he doesn’t have umpteen friends on the ranch at all, therefore he needs to be welcoming and confident towards George and Lennie to receive their friendship but this quote gives away his revere of Curley finding out he was trounceing about h im and throwing him off the ranch, leading the reader to believe the ranch is the only place Candy can call home.\r\nThis idea of Candy being completely alone and having no where else to go is reinforced when Steinbeck introduces Candy’s â€Å"ancient cut across”, the use of pre-modification again this metre with the word â€Å"ancient” helps to show that like his owner this tail is former(a), the lexis â€Å"ancient” has the connotations of being so nonagenarian it could be considered an artifact or piece of history, this judgment could suggest that Candy’s furrow is in fact a part of the history of the ranch that is why he is still there because dismantleing though his dog is old and useless he is still allowed on the ranch even with no purpose, just like Candy staying on the ranch with no hand, meaning he cannot do every proper jobs except â€Å"settin’ out the wash basins”.\r\n hitherto when Steinbeck introduces the dog at first, Candy says â€Å"my dog”, this genitive case lexis could suggest Candy is proud of his dog especially as he goes on to say â€Å"he was a good sheepdog when he was younger”, you could take this quote as a declarative, him protect but also bragging about his dog. A conflicting idea could be that Candy and dog are similar that is why Candy likes to talk and brag about his dog, Steinbeck writes for both that they are â€Å"old” and â€Å"ancient” but both are disenable in that Candy has lost his hand and the dog is so old and decrepit it cannot hunt or feed itself. Both are looking for a companion that could take care of them, they have a codependent relationship.\r\nThis idea could be considered a recurring tooth root as some say Lennie and Georges’ relationship is co-dependent, even though George wouldn’t admit it due to his supreme personality. So the reason Candy brags about his dog is because he really wants to prove himself , and that he was in fact worthy of being on the ranch. This lodge of Candy and his dog being similar supports my certain idea, which was that using the descriptions of Candy and his dog we find that Candy is in fact just like an old animal, a useful and valued member of some(prenominal) ranch as opposed to just something that takes up space, money and food.\r\n'
