  5. Themes - the outsider Many of the characters in the novel are outsiders in some way. They don’t fit into normal society, because they have characteristics that make them different from supposedly normal people. On the next slides you will find these characters names, with one idea about why that character is an outsider. To each, add several more reasons of your own. As you work on this activity, try to decide what point Steinbeck is making about people who are outsiders in our society.

  6. Themes - the outsider He only has one hand and cannot work properly on the ranch. Candy – The Old Swamper

  7. Themes - the outsider She is the only woman on the ranch. Curley’s Wife

  8. Themes - the outsider He is a huge man, who has incredible strength. Lennie

  9. Themes - the outsider He is not white, and thus automatically an outsider in this society. Crooks

  10. Questions • Why does Crooks have a room to himself? Try to think of more than one reason. • Why do you think Crooks allows Lennie to come into his room? Again, try to think of more than one possible answer. • How does the scene in the harness room relate to the theme of the outsider? • Why does Crooks change his mind about joining the men on the ranch?
