De-humanisation
1. Although we know his name, in this extract the name is never used
2. Steinbeck wants to represent old of of USA in this way because of little or no use ?
3. 'The swamper' 'the old man'
  1. Old man reference repeated,
  2. Shows Menialality
4. Key technique also used by SB on Multi characters
  1. Interesting because Curly's wife is one such character
Cynicism
1. Sees the worst in Curly & wife
2. Steinbeck creates dialogue between George & Candy shows us how he thinks the worst of Curly's wife & indeed Curly
3. This particular conversation also provides a starting point for the relationship of the trio
4. 'I seen her give Slim the eye'
