Slide 5 - Carte mentale

Cet élément n'a pas d'instructions

This chapter is the real turning point in the novel, the moment to which all the previous discussion of hopes, dreams and friendship has been leading
 It is therefore telling that this chapter opens with Lennie stroking his puppy, which is now dead.
1a) What has happened, and how has Lennie responded? 

Lennie has accidentally killed his puppy – by being too rough with it. 
["Why do you got to get killed? You ain't so little as mice. I didn't bounce you hard." Page 42].

Lennie is afraid that if George finds out he will no longer let Lennie take care of the rabbits. 
["Now maybe George ain't gonna let me tend no rabbits, if he fin's out you got killed." Page 42] 

His first response is to cover up what he did, then he gets angry and throws the puppy. Later he regrets this and lays the puppy back in the hay.

1b) What is the role of this passage? What does it reveal about Lennie, and what coming events could it be foreshadowing? 

This passage shows that Lennie finds it difficult to control his emotions and he is afraid of the consequences of his actions. It could foreshadow Lennie losing control again and accidentally killing something/someone else (killing Curley’s wife).

Curley’s wife does not appear very often, but she plays a crucial role in events. She is also ultimately presented as quite a sympathetic, if flawed, character. 
2a) Why do you think Steinbeck never gives Curley’s wife a name?

[opinion]
Possible answers: because he wants to emphasize her position as an outsider, she's different from the other characters in the story / because this shows how the other characters see her, she's only Curley's wife.

Steinbeck has used events throughout the novel to foreshadow what will happen in this interaction between Lennie and Curley’s wife.
What does the reader see that Curley’s wife cannot, and what events have led you to this conclusion?

Slide 13 - Question ouverte

She doesn’t see that Lennie can actually be dangerous when he loses control or feels trapped. 
For readers this has already become clear because they know how Lennie reacted to Curley and how he is treated by George. 
Curley’s wife also does not know that Lennie killed the mice and had to flee Weed because a girl accused him of assaulting her.
[Curley's wife laughed at him. "You're nuts," she said. "But you're a kinda nice fella. Jus' like a big baby. page 45]
