Characterization

Curly:

• You can tell that Curly is a working man but belongs to a higher class than the regular workers... "He wore a work glove on his left hand, and, like the boss, he wore high-heeled boots." (p.25)
• You can see that Curly has a large ego and sense of pride. He is somewhat snobby... "He turned toward the door and walked out, and his elbows were still bent out a little." (p.26)
• One could notice that Curly is not completely satisfied with who he is and what he is like... "He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kinda like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy"
