Minor: Sexual violence and Toxic friendship

the violence enacted on Curley's wife was incredibly disturbing and reminiscent of sexual violence. Although Lennie does not sexually harm Curley's wife in any way, the way he kills her is extremely vivid and just reminded me of it. The same can be said about the way Lennie treated that one woman in Weed-it wasn't intentional or meant to be sexual, but from an outsider's perspective it can look like sexual harassment. This is just something to be wary of when reading.

had to read it for school lol. it was well written but very racist, sexist and it’s portrayal of a disabled character was pretty bad. i get that this is mostly because of the time it was written but i personally didn’t enjoy it.
