Describe the Conflice between Curley and Lennie.
One conflict in the novel that takes place between two characters is the hatred that Curley feels toward Lennie. Because Curley is a smaller man, he feels overpowered by how big Lennie is but is a man who can not handle being overpowered by anyone. By accident, Lennie killed Curley's wife inresulted George killed Lennie. The conflict is really not resolved until George kills Lennie at the end of the novel after Lennie accidentally kills Curley's wife. Through this conflict, we learn that Lennie really does not have any idea of what is going on in his life or in the world around him -- his naivety shines through when you realize that he has no idea that Curley hates him. Additionally, you do find out just how strong Lennie is when he crushes Curley's hand out of anger toward him. The reader finds out that Curley is insecure and must be in charge and have total power no matter what
