Of Mice and Men Ch.4

This chapter opens with a character profile of Crooks, the black "stable buck," which is a derogatory but commonplace phrase from the early 1900s that means "black man who works in the stables." He isn't especially important to the overall plot- but this chapter is a very interesting look into life for these minorities: a black man with a broken back, an old janitor with a missing hand, a giant simpleton who is obsessed with small soft animals, and a young wife who yearns to for more in life.
Basically, the misfits who weren't invited into town with "the men."
Crooks upsets Lennie by exerting the power of intelligence he has over him- but then stops when Lennie's physical power becomes clear. Candy finds Lennie in Crook's room- and soon Curley's wife finds them. All of the misfits in one place. The most discriminated against person in the book is not in fact the black man nor the simpleton nor the elderly man- it is the woman- who has no place on this farm. And as we saw last chapter with Candy's dog, we know what happens when things are of no use on a farm.
Lennie and Candy end up inviting Crooks to come work on their farm with them- but Crooks declines at the end of the chapter, not letting himself get hopeful for a dream as they have.
The themes we see in this chapter include Friendship, a Desire to Overcome Loneliness at any cost, and Vulnerabilities and Weaknesses Being Exposed.
