It was racist and sexist tbh, as you barely get to see the minority character’s pov. I didn’t rly find most of the characters that likable tbh. But I did like how straight forward and fast the book was only being 107 pages. I did find tho what we did learn about curley’s wife interesting.

Of mice and men is set on a farm in California. It definitely isn't my usual type of read but I found the morals of the story very interesting. One thing I noticed is that Steinbeck explores different types of prejudice and discrimination in this book and there is a character for each type. Curley's wife represents sexism, Crooks represents racism, Candy represents ageism and Lennie represents discrimination towards people with mental disablilities. Just to note, there's some vulgar language the other characters say towards these people but I don't think that Steinbeck meant it personally; he just wanted to show the reality of the 1930s.
